Tips for building a library

[photojojo]

Beatport's solid, but a little pricey. Is that just how things are?

Pretty muc, You can shop around and see if they have it on Junodownload or djtunes or iTunes for cheaper, Beatport seems to get a lot of good exclusives though.

dude, dont limewire crap... support the artists and buy the music. i have a friend that put out an album and less then a day later, he got an email from a friend saying he had found it on limewire and torrent sites... less then a day.

I agree, don't limewire/torrent. If you're a DJ then you're a musician and as such you are part of the music community. We need to support each other by making sure that everyone gets paid for their hard work.

When I practice or mix for pleasure at home, I'm constantly stopping to organize, tag, re-tag, add a comment or note, and otherwise managing my library.

Often I'll run into something I don't need and delete/archive it, or forgot that I can't live without from years ago and put it into one of my current playlists.

I just prefer organizing as I practice to sitting down and doing library work as I end up only working on tracks I need to. Takes time, but eventually you'll have a very tidy music library.

Another music site I use is Stompy.com More house oriented and tends to be a little cheaper than Beatport, at least if you buy .wav's like I do.

Could you give an example of a couple of your 'III' tracks?
I seem to always end up with 'I' and 'II' tracks (genre is Electro and it's derivatives)

Yeah man! Dynasty- Dada Life
Deep Sleep-Thomas Alisson(Ph Electro Mix)
Running Around My Veins-Vadim Shantor and Lonedog
Chuppa(StereoHeroes mix)-Missil
Sandstorm 2k10(Alex Chief Electro Mix)-Darude{lulz}
Heads... Off(Mustard Pimp Mix)-Dirty Disco Youth
Ozzy(Pelussje Mix)-Gain On Top
Gooseflesh-Fandango
Return Of the Mack(Electrical Bros)-Mark Morrison <-- Fucking SEX...

I hope we have the same taste :-D Open up some creativity channels! ;-)

Freaking love these tunes... Enjoy! :-D

I agree! At the very least, I try to write it down in short descriptive 'only my brain' words lol
