Every DJ MUST know their music

Every DJ MUST know their music

After you organize your music correctly (artist, genre, comments, tagged key)

How do you set-up your playlists? or what do you think is the best method

P.S - screenshots are welcome :smiley:

I set them up by genre and bpm ie NuWave 110 - 120 BPM

I’m sure this has been asked more than once as I remember answering this question more than once

lol i remember starting a thread about this about a month or 2 ago…

Music collection filewise… TOTAL SHITSTORM

iTunes and traktor playlists, sorted by Year, Genre, and use star rating as kind of an indicator if the track is a ā€œbigā€ track or ā€œbangerā€ (so ill give it 4-5 stars) Mid way tracks, warmer tracks 3 stars, and kinda real start of the night stuff 1 or 2 stars.

Ill also tag the tracks to tell me if they came from beatport, iTunes or Soundcloud/Promo

+1 Stars are the easiest way. I use the stars to mark songs by how popular/energetic they are and then use iTune’s smart playlists to sort them into playlists named after what the star rating means. That way I wont forget what they mean. It’s my failsafe. Also if a song doesn’t have a star rating, it means I haven’t heard it yet and I know to check it out which normally leads to me deleting it because it was a crap track anyway.

I haven’t really changed my methods since the last time this was asked, so I’ll just go with whatever that was :wink:
