Storing mp3s on SD card for SDJ1 / QSD

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.

Thats very helpfull !
All my mp3s are tagged so only filename, track, artist, genre & bpm are listed.(no album art, additional info, etc)
I`m I getting this right ? ...So if I say start a new folder called - 80s dance onto a SD card on my laptop, open it then add the files I want but move Bpm as 1st colum, then artist, etc ...Will it read increased Bpm towards end on folder ?

Ok I`ve just worked out how to do this
I used tagtuner to organise my files so its bpm, track, artist in order for sdj-1, To do this I made a new template in rename so I could batch rename every music file in folder.
(example - bpm%B,title%3,artist%1 )
Now all filesnames start with bpm 1st, track, artist.

Now sdj-1 reads filenames as bpm, Track by track, artist by artist in bpm number or alpha.

Many thanks to Arman ...Very helpfull !
