Hi,

Could anybody who uses either a QSD or a SDJ1 suggest the best ways they've found to sort their mp3s on their SD cards? I don't have the hardware myself, but a venue that I occasionally gig at has bought a QSD and I'd like to make use of it.

Do you sort them alphabetically, all in the root folder?

In folders A, B, C... ?

Can you choose to search by title, filename, artist etc or are you limited?

I'd be grateful for any tips :-)

regards,

Domino

Hi Domino,

There are a few Youtube videos with different DJs doing it. Some people put albums as folders, artist by folder, or genre or groups, like having a folder for 80's dance music or dance mixes 120-125BPM.

Check out youtube.

Thanks

Thanks Tom ;-)

Buying a SDJ2 soon.
I want to do Genre folders.
Do I title the MP3 files Artist first?
Will the SDJ2 sort them in BPM somehow?

Thank you.

Hello Doctor Deejay. I just purchased the SDJ-2 recently, and it's been great, and even greater with an outboard mixer. I manage my SD library with folders like "80's 110-119 BPM", "80's 120-129 BPM", etc. 80's decade of music is very broad and bpm sensitive. I edit the ID3 tag of the mp3 file "bpm_song title" (e.g. 123_Miss Me Blind). Songs of the same folder having the same bpm will line up alphabetically in order. After which, the "124_song title" follows, and so on, and so forth... Therefore you have to manually organize your library thru your PC because SDJ-2 will not do it for you.
