Originally posted by Zild I've never seen his case but that is how mine looks. I'd rather have the CD labeled with a sharpie than have to printout sheets. That way you know if you have the CD with you then you definitely have the track info with you because it is permanently attatched to the CD. No ifs, ands, or buts...

Well worse comes to worse I hit "CD Text / Wave" and read what it says

I like my way though because like the other dude said, with a tracklist card, you can quickly check what else is on the CD, usefull for me since I often mix tracks that are on the same CD since theres no order to the tracks I burn on a given disc (it can be anything and everything, whatever I just got).


Whatever floats your boat is fine though, everyone has their preffered way...

One track per CD for me. I just think it's easier like that, plus CDs are cheap these days.

I usually know what's inside the CDJ because I can hear it on the speakers or in the headphones.

I don't like printouts because I used to use them for m Key and BPM info for my vinyl. Then one gig I showed up with the wrong printout. It sucked.

Latest Mix

i burn about 7-8 tunes to a cd, and then print out a list on notepad, with corresponding numbers. i cut it down to size and then stick it in the individual cd jacket along with the corresponding cd (cd10 goes with paper #10 etc).

then i have 4 highliters that i go over each track with depending on what style it is.

the best part about this setup is that in a lot of clubs, there are blacklights at least someplace and if they are near the dj booth (which in my residency they are) then the white paper is lit up like a radioactive crazy thing so i don't even need any light.

i used to burn a cd like a vinyl with just the original and mixes but it took up way too much space and i went thru cd's like a mother******. i would in fact argue that doing it my way is easier because instead of flipping through 10-15 pages of cds until you find the right one takes a while...i can have the same amount of tunes on 2 pages so you don't even have to turn anythign to track a tune down.

Just one track?! I dont care if they gave cds away, that just seems like a massive waste to me. Not to mention youll be overflowing with cds in no time.

i just burn 10 tunes to a cd, then either write the label out tune by tune or print it out, depends...

each cd is like Cd:30, cd:25, cd:10 etc.. then i usually draw a face on the cd using the middle part as one of the eyes or the mouth.. usually they have suprised or angry looks, all depends on my mood.. i usually i try and burn tunes that i dont mix together.. some cds i have 2 copies of.. i just do what works..

so far im all good...


and if im using final scratch its so easy, cuz i have all my burnt tunes on fs2 as well, so its really easy to get wtvr tune i want on any interface..

I use to burn 7-8 tunes to a CD and then print a small tracklist and put it together witch the CD in the CD wallet.
If i burned the CD in january I just Wrtie January on it, if i burn more than one cd I just go for january 2 etc.
Works great for me!

i have over 200 cds with 8 to 10 tracks on them. it would sucks if i had to make 2 coppies each

I have over 300 wavs I have burned. I put the max amount of tracks per CD then I make a copy of the same CD. I label them with the tracks and at the bottom I label the type of music (tech house, prog house, electro house....)and each CD a 1,2,3,4....so I know which one was burned most recently. Then I group the types of music in my case. I've tried evrything else and this works the best because you can see all the tracks on the CD and you know what part of your case has the type of music you are looking for.

Digweed is not from this planet.

My system is pretty complicated, but I understand myself, so that's what counts.

Two main sections:

1- the "printed covers" as I like to call them, which includes albums and singles that have been bought in CD form through stores online or otherwise. The singles and albums are all mixed together. In front of this section there's a small section with a couple of compilation disks (all mixed up in any random order). In a case where I want to mix two tracks from the same album or compilation, I burn that track on a CD-R labeled with the track name, info, album name and date of the burn. That CD-R is put in front or behind of the album it originates from, inside the "printed covers" section.

2- the burnt mp3s and waves section, which includes mp3 and waves burnt on blank cds with the track info written on them with a sharpie and put in transparent jewel cases. The CDs themselves either contain a single track, or in some cases multiple remixes of the same track, but never two different tracks.

Each individual section has it's own alphabetical order. So:

-Section 1 (A-Z)
-Section 2 (A-Z)

Someone ought to write a plugin for nero that scanned the mp3 to find bpm and key, and generated a track sheet with that info.
Shouldnt be too hard to do.

Does anyone know of any open/public algorithms for detecting bpm and key?
