How do you guys organize your cds? Just CD-R's? What do CD-RW's do?
I got some CD-RW's and i tried to add more onto it and WMP wouldn't allow it. Ithought that was wat RW's did.... hmmm... anyways
By style? Artist? BPM?
How many songs do you put on each CD?
Thx |

this has been discussed MANY MANY times before please use the search button before creating threads. that said ill give you a straight answer so as not to be a jackass...
basically CDRW's allow you to rewrite however you need to set them up for that, there should be options when burning that allow you to create a multi-session CDRW. some people use CDR's to make MP3 cds but you run the risk of playing out in a venue with non-mp3 compatible cdj's.
I have my cds organized with 1 track per cd, organized by key, and by tempo. |

| isnt that wasting alot of CD space just putting 1 song on? Is it good to put maybe 5 to 10 songs on each CD? |

If you like putting 5 to 10 songs on each CD, do it. Whatever works for you. |

| By style, BPM, and artist in alphabetical order. Basically, I put all of the same tracks and remixes of the same artist on one CD (as many tracks that can fit on a single CD-R) and use two binders. One is higher BPM (135+) trance, mostly epic, uplifting stuff. Then another binder is for lower BPM (135-) progressive house, trance, breaks, some vocal house, and downtempo music. That way I will know the tracks in one binder can work better together, and the ones in the other will work, cause they are of similar BPM and style. I hear people on here doing 1 track per CD, which is okay, but you would need a really large binder and a ton of CD-Rs and I have about 900 MP3 files (and about 10 WAV files) so that would mean buying a lot of CDRs. I don't often put tracks by the same artist back to back, so it works out fine. Sure it's kind of a hassle re-arranging the binders when you get new tracks, but I often retire old tracks and put them in an older binder. |

1 Song for 1 cd, with remixes.
Different styles, different color. Works great :)

| My tracks are organized by Genre, Key/BPM and as for my CDs, I'll usually put one track with its remixes on it. Simple, but it gets the job done. |

| 8-10 tracks per cd, burn every cd twice and you can mix anything into whatever suits you. Cheaper and it works for me :) |
