Hi

in another thread I wrote down the workflow which I use in some greater detail, from new music track file through analysis to the players, I hope you may find this useful:

I will try to write up the steps of my workflow: I rename files and folders consistently; I add meta data with mp3tag (very useful), like Label, Catalognumber … these files are my archive, regardless of the DJ software that I may use; so I check if everything is correct, sometimes the year given in the meta info is not correct for example.

2. Add folders to Engine DJ library, arrange them as playlists which mirror the folder structure

3. Analyse the tracks of the playlists, BPM, key, cue points …

4. Use SYNC manager to transfer the playlists to the players

5. And have fun!
