How many Crates do you have in serato/FS?

So i stumbled across loads of my old music yesterday and while going through it i wanted to 'highlight' some of the songs i really liked. So ofcourse i opened up a new crate to allow me to compile what basically ends up being a 'my favourites' crate.

I now have 3 of them lol.

So it got me wondering, how many crates have you got and how do you find is the best way of organising your music? I ask this because i can see myself getting a ridiculous amount of crates which will put me in a similar situation of wondering which crate i put that specific song into :)

interesting topic, im a ssl user and i recently found that an 'intro' crate can be usefull as it always pisses me off which tune to start a set with, think a good set intro is an important factor, otherwise just have a load of crates for harmonics.

I have a crate for every key of a song.

I have one crate for me and another crate for a friend's music when he plays on my setup. Heh I'm not organized at all and I usually just have it set to show me all of the tracks instead of the crates. Then I use the search function to quickly find the track I want.

I've got 5 crates, by genre. I just put them in what ever crate I think matches the genres I made. Sometimes if it’s a toss up I’ll just put the song in both crates.

Hmmm.. interesting.

I have a lot more crates then you lads seem to have.

Mainly because i tend to organise my 'sets' by them. If i like a song and think it'll go well with a set i'm trying to put together i'll bung it into the same folder. Same with certain tunes that i think will go well together i sometimes temporarily create a crate to remind me that they go well together.

Obviously i'll choose tracks on the fly as well but i find myself trying to organise my sets a bit more these days so i don't start drifting off into other genres as i tend to do a lot (then again maybe that's just my style..) Too many ways to take things when dj'ing lol that's the beauty of it i suppose.
