How do you choose your tracks on the fly?

I feel like having some kind of digitized list on my computer would help reawaken certain forgotten artists/etc.

you've got the right idea, i don't know what i'd do without my lists.

*Lots of keywords in the comments field : vocals, soulful, subs, peak, no kick, rough, summer, classic... sometimes bits of lyrics or the name of a track that goes with it perfectly.
*the key field. A lot.
*hotkeys to a few playlists on the F keys : One of them takes me to the collection node, where I'll browse in genres. Those I dj with start with 0_, so all the usable genres are always at the top. Others are for example vinyl rips, recent purchases and a dynamic "tools" playlist which I manage using Trainspotter.
*if I can't remember the name, the album art is usually helpful.
*if I know exactly what I want, got a hotkey which activates the search field
