-- Organising your music
Organising your music
I need a program that allows you to create your own searchable fields. I label my tracks with comments like, "funky", "rockin", "cruisy" etc. I want to be able to label each track and then search for them, or bring up all the "cruisy" tracks in order of purchase for example so I can whip it out at a set.
Just labelling your CDs with such comments would work but I also need this program so I can label the tracks I don't buy aswell, then do a search to find the tracks I will buy from my might buy list. Does that make sense?
Does such a program exist?
I think we had a thread somewhere about organising music.. Id love to know where it went. I'm stuck for ideas 
I think iTunes would fit your needs... You can "label" your tracks by filling in the appropriate label under "Genre". Then (assuming you add each track to your library by date of purchase) you can sort your tracks by different column headings such as "Date ADded" or "Date Modified". The best part is that there is a search feature in the top right-hand corner of the program so all you'd have to do is search "Funky" and sort by Date Added and that should work...
iTunes.
check out beatunes, its an addon for iTunes.. Its pretty damn uber.. beatunes.com
i use beatunes its great.
Rapid Evolution will do it for you.

A friend was telling me about a program that would categorize your music by key and determine what tracks would fit together the best.
Does anyone know what this program is?

Create a really effective spreadsheet with Excel maybe?
I use windows media player 10... it works fine. I use the star ratings and genre's to work out what songs are like and I usually arrange stuff by album (release date usually doesn't make much difference to me).
I only DJ with programs though...but I really hate iTunes

Shit guys, thx for the replies. Haven't been able to get to this thread for a few days. I'm trying Rapid Evolution. Wouldn't touch itunes with a ten foot pole based on the quality of Apple's iPod.
Sometimes you want to label a track with more than one description, like it's "cruisy" and it's "funky" at the same time. That's what I'm talking about. You need to be able to enter several descriptive fields if that's what you need. In fact, you need to be able to label a track with as many descriptive fields as you need, and you need to be in control of the name of each descriptive field yourself.
I'm d'l'ing Rapid Evolution. We'll see how it goes.
How is this going to help when youre DJing? Will you have a laptop running iTunes so you can search your mp3s for cruisy? 
The way I do it... 10 songs per CD in a wallet. Each CD has a number. Then I have a sheet stuck in the wallet which says which CD/Track each song is on. Next to that I have BPM, key and release date. Downside is you can only fit 30 songs per page and you need to reprint every time you add new songs to the list. It's better than carrying around 200 individual CDs though. :P
You could put a pocket light in there too, for reading in the dark!

Rapid Evolution 2. You can assign multiple styles to tracks, and dump to an Excel spreadsheet if you like. Among other things.
