How much music do you have on your hardrive??
@folkenson
@folkenson 3 жыл бұрын
Prior to 2013 - 9 terabytes. I started doing exclusively video after that and started from scratch. Current music drive is loaded on to Dropbox so my desktop and laptop are duplicated with 63 gig of MP3's and 273 gig of MP4 videos. The wedding for this weekend has a "Client Data" folder with all of the music for the day. When I turn on my laptop, my desktop music for the weekend syncs with the laptop and I'm good to good in less than 15 minutes. I am exclusively a Wedding Video DJ so anything that doesn't pack a diverse dance floor is GONE. I have a great hotspot and an Amazon Music is a shortcut to get anything needed in a couple minutes so no need for fluff.

Not sure, but this might be a useful tip: You can choose to organize by bitrate by clicking on the section, AND THEN SUB-ORGANIZE the play count by Command-clicking it. Not sure if that makes things faster? Maybe would result in less gaps between the songs that had a play count.

One of your better videos. Good insight on best practices for music management. DJ's are so focused on having all songs, that they forget how many copies of the song that they do have. With DJ's moving to music videos and projection visuals, it is important to be a bit more minimalistic with your Library and be more organized.

this video is awesome, so many great points and made me chuckle a few times 😂 currently consolidating hard drives and trying to get rid of dups. Total is 3tb. Most of it is karaoke from other DJ's when I was just starting to do karaoke, and there are def plenty of dups. The other 500 gigs is MP3's. 300 gigs of music given by a DJ years ago when I was just starting out, the remaining 200 gigs is what I've accumulated over the past 10 years. I use some dups intentionally in my personally curated catalog to save folders from past events and to make different playlists that use the same songs on my master list; so I don't remove dups from it.

Love the video, ive been having a major gut out of my DJ collection for months now.. and ive found an AMAZING workflow, that works for me anyways... im actually auto renaming every FILENAME from the ID3 tags by "Artist - Title.mp3" and it means if i get any dupes i can spot them instantly and decide which ones i want to keep in each instance. I can NEVER have 2 of the same song ever again. I label REMIXES and LIVE versions on the track title and it then makes the Filenames unique. i then separated them into AMBI/WARMUP/PEAK in the folder structure using Serato fields to categorise, then FILES to move all the tracks into folders per crate name. I then broke it all into PUB/PARTY/CLUB/WEDDING via more tags and setup smart crates that filter per venue/crowd type that i play.... its going amazing so far... more than halved my collection and you're right its liberating.. I can generate a full event picking list / playlist now simply via tags that suits the room im playing in... and it's REALLY accurate.. awesome.

I use an external drive for my music videos only because they take up the most space and Serato screams but I have a great Dell PC thats very fast. I didn't have the luxury of Serato play count then now I may us it to trim the fat on my current library. Thank you for the tip!

But I'm always afraid of what would or could happen to my program or music. I don't have a lot of programs on my PC, just the Serato and I really use my DJ PC to surf the web, due to I don't want to get viruses... I'm going to look at your other video about computers...

I've paid for duplicate finding software and had the same problems! I ended up deleting lots of tracks I played. I agree that being a bit more ruthless with folder deletion is the way forward. I deleted a tonne of remixes, DJ edits with crappy beats and mixes. It feels so satisfying to delete a huge folder I'll realistically never play. I've still got loads to go, but I've come from 1.2tb to around 800gb. My actual folder of regularly played tracks is only 60gb and most of that doesn't even get touched. Weirdly, the less tracks I have, the more tracks I play!

I’ve been debating about moving from PC to Mac, but didn’t see any videos. The one thing holding me back is I like the xCopy command on PC to allow me to back up files from one laptop to my desktop and a backup laptop. This is simple because I have Serato setup to point to the same root directory on all my computers. C:/my music/ for example. Is there a way to do that with a Mac? I don’t have to rescan for songs. I just copy the Serato files over, and I’m set. Everything is mapped perfectly.

I use iTunes to organize my music. For the tracks that are in poor quality, but that I play, I’ve added a comment on it like « poor quality ». Then, I’ve created a smart playlist that group all the tracks that have « poor quality » in comments. That way, I take time to replace them with good quality versions and when it’s done, I put them in the right playlists and delete the poor quality version. Also, there is a tool called Fakin The Funk that detect the true bitrate, as some tracks are marked with 320 for example but in reality, they are not 320 !

As a dj who is restarting a dj business (after a decade away) Post Covid-19 on a new computer system then I will not have any legitimate play counts from gigs/events. I still have a load of music which I moved from my old hard drive and added these with the new songs I've accumulated. I know that I have a load of duplicates. I discovered that I had mistakenly ripped a load of CD's at 160k mp3 so I'm going to rip all those again at 320k. Your tip about other tracks under 192k is something I'll also be approaching doing. I'll be looking at these more closely to see if I now have better quality versions and if not maybe I will try getting them and swapping them with the old. I wonder what's your reason for still having a few tracks at 128k and no other versions on of the same song on your system? Haven't you considered getting the 320k mp3 versions of those songs.

I got a 2 ssd internal drive on my mackbook 20125 one 1tb for my music and 2tb for my music videos and both internal, got rid of the cd drive and this thing boots sooo damn fast its unbelievable. i went thru and cleaned out my music drive still doing it and im under 400 gigs of space now with 600 to spare thats with music and programs and OS. it makes a big difference. DJ's i suggest like he said to back up your drive and time machine your mackbooks, dont want to lose noo music. and last if you can upgrade them physical hardrives to ssd, it makes a big difference.

Great video! VDJ has a function where you right click a song and pick Remove from search DB! As always, great video!

Mine is just over 1TB but I do video for the majority of my events - I was at 4TB but cleaned out duplicates, I also keep two versions of some songs (a remix and original) as I will play both depending on the crowd. Took me the better part of a week to do this as I redid my crates as well at this point. As for speed, I still use external drives but I run a SSD external through USB-C with a 3.2 gen 2 cables which is up to 10GBPS transfer speed so I notice 0 difference if a song is stored on internal or external drive. same load speed for either. I do run a docking station to allow for only one cord into my macbook which drops my speed down to 5gbps but still hardly notice a difference between internal and external load speed for songs. Best part is I carry a duplicate SSD that is always mirrored 100% to the original so if it fails, I can plug it in and I still have all my crates with songs(file paths, and names are all the same)

Used a program to get rid of the dups on my HD and ended up with the nasty orange lost file highlight on like 3/4 of my music in serato 🤦🏻‍♂️

did you delete your video about how you organize every single music file into a broken down genre folder? I can't find that video for the life of me
