The Ultimate "How Do You Organize Your..." Thread (pg. 2)
View this Thread in Original format

Back before I started using Torq, I designed an application that held all of the ID3 tag data of all of my songs. I then burned as many songs to a single CD as I could, burned each CD twice, and grouped the tracks that were on that CD within the database. This worked very well, because I also implemented a "keywords" section within the tag, so that if I couldn't remember the track name, but remembered what I "tagged" it as, I could still find the track. I also implemented a special feature within the search so that when you searched for an artist, it would check within the parenthesis of a song's title for that artist's name.

Now, I just use Torq and make playlists within iTunes.

Yeah me too, thats sexy. Only thing is, I would not have enough room to do just 1-2-3 tracks per CD. My case has 105 double CDs, each with 9 tracks per, and it is full (I need to buy a new case ASAP)

Unless you're doing marathon sets I don't believe you really need to take all of that music with you.

If someone wants a tutorial on the cd-printing stuff, let me know. If there are enough people wanting it, i'll make a video-tutorial.

Atm they look like this, with bpm & track length

I dont, lol, but I have different genre tracks on each CD, its a big mess. I like having the whole of it with me, just in case.

How big are your CD wallets? It sounds to me like you take just about all of your tunes with you everywhere you go...

Personally I'd find the thing slowing me down was having to sift through all the stuff I never play anymore in order to find the tracks I want to play.


MY Cd Wallets holds about 286 Cd's.
Yes I do take almost all of my tunes with me, I like to have them in case I want to play any of them, and also I have Different Genres, so I can't take only 1 case with me.

I recognize it's kind of obssesive wanting to have so many tunes with you.

and getting full of songs the capacity of my Cd case, I haven't do it all of a sudden, it has taken about a year, so I tend to remember easily where are my songs, also I subdivide them in subgenres, and I can remember easily were are all of my songs, beacuse i have build my Cd Cases.

The only minus as you pointed before, it's if I want to mix 3 songs from the same CD, but that in my case haven't happen yet.

in the end I think people should try the different methods, untill they find something they feel comfortable with.

I burn Usually 9 songs, beacuse that's what almost always fits on 80 minutes cd's for me.

I was wondering how you guys did this! When I buy songs off of beatport, I put all of them on one cd, i should go back and make two of each makes sense to me now!

Quick question, whats the best way to find the key to a song?
