How Do You Guys Organize Ya Music?

I put all the hindi songs together cuz i dont have time to go back from folder to folder [when mixing]. beats are all piled in one folder also. reggae songs are in their own folder. bhangra songs have their own folder but are placed in the hindi section of my comp lol. remixes are organized by dj name / album name. the remixes that are kind of annoying but enjoyable are in one folder as well lmao. then bad quality songs are in their own folder.

my ipod is really organized tho. everything has the correct title, album, artist name, genre, ratings, and album pic.

acid projects in one folder. but whatever. GTRyan87's one is the most organized lmao.

 

i sort it by genre and years. although its a loott of hard work its worth it if your a dj

 

i organize my music by album's and genre..much easier although i dont have much music as other people do..however i think for DJ's you guys gota go more into it and narrow it down a lot.

 

All genres got they own folder....
And it go by Song Name and Then Artist

 

i seperate my music by genre and cd albums

 

Track Name, Song name, Artist. Music folder has subfolders for albums and specific DJ mixes. All the information fields are filled out so I can organize it by the click of a button, whether by genre, year or whatever. Pretty organized!

 

each album has its folder and singles are in one
but sometimes its hard to find so i think im going to sort by genre

 

hmm....by genre, and in each genre i have it by year.

 

every folder leads into like a million others lol

 

By the genre of the music then by the artist.

 

i put them in folder and rename the folder to album/film name

 

lol black people music

 

That's is extremely extensive, do you go through all of these during a live gig... The easiest way, I have found to organize, is in segments.... such as early warm, girls tune, bad man tune, etc... but I am always, working on being more organized.... Interested to hear more on you organization, and are you using Serato.....

 

well this is the way i organize the music.. but from this i make playlists.. i choose the best remixes of each song and list it here.. that way i dont type in "dulahin chale" and have 10 songs pop up that i don't know which one is the best.. this organizing way picks out the best and divides it up into groups from which you can make your playlists quicker..

im gonna start making up playlists the way you do it also.. early mid ending etc.. so ill see how i can find an easy way to set that up.. and i use vdj right now.. not on serato yet

 

I understand your method, but I am transitioning from cds, do you use an external HD. Do you upload from cds or just for the net. also you us VDJ live, the program is hot but does VDJ have an interface, I am working with serato 1.9. it's a very good program, but I am killing myself setting cues, the best way for me right now, I am organizing is to put all my song in playlist in itunes by riddims, then I will start making more segment and preparing sets. Organizing make the whole pocess faster and more entertaining...

 

The way i organize iss Just put all my shyt on itunes.. Reggae soca chutney indian den the mixes cd..
I also make a set for slow songs when people eat nd stuff,,
Den make another set with REAL HYPE music!
yeah

 

FOlder for each diff type of music..in each file alphabetically...

 

yea i use the my passport from WD.. its pretty good.. its easier since i keep my music one place rather than having to transfer from my desktop to the laptop which takes forever.. yea VDJ is pretty good.. you can map out your tracks and beat match it easily.. for me it saves time because i just make the playlists according to how i want to play and what will mix well, then vdj handles the rest (cues, beat matching, etc).. yea keeping your riddims together is definetely a good idea.. i always group my riddims together which allows u to get to them quicker and play around with them when ur playing live.. just to show you.. all my tracks are labeled this way..
<Track Number> - <Artist/DJ> - <Album> - <Track>.... and sometimes i even add artists and DJ in there

 

I use Media Monkey Gold to organize mine.
Lots of different skins to choose from and very simple and fast.
