Thanks a lot for helping me out with the folder structure in Rekordbox. I didn't have any idea about organizing folders in Rekordbox until I watched your videos, which taught me a clear view of it
Organising music was one of the biggest problems in my life. Now I think it's sorted. Lots of Love from Kolkata❤️
Bro. thank you so much for this video. It is the best one on sorting files. Plus allowing you to search on the fly by having an "All house music folder" is genius. Thanks
Ευχαριστούμε! Thanx my Indian friend
Wow. This is way more useful than almost every other video on this subject
😁😁😁 Thanks a lot for watching.
Thanks for the tips bro. But I have a question.
I have created the folder structure they way you suggested. But how to make the same structure in recordbox through playlist? Do i need to make/sort playlists manually by searching the desired songs and then add to desired playlist in recordbox? Or is there any option that can sort music in recordbox playlists according to the hard drive folder structure automatically.?
the only person with a brain in the comments! - apparently, people have been asking for this feature in Rekordbox since 2011. Ten years later, they still haven't figured it out.
forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203049029--SOLVED-Rekordbox-folder-structure-import
OMG! This was driving me mental. Thank you. Not many people know about playlists and folder and duplication!
when I drag my master folder from my computer into rekordbox, it just creates a big playlist with no folders, just all the songs. what am I doing wrong?
This confused me because I want nothing to do with iTunes. But I follow the fundamentals you cover in this video and they are most helpful.
Maybe you can prepare a video teaching how to differentiate all the differente electronic house genders, making easy to organize the music correctly.
Interesting. Let me work on that. 😇
Hi i make MASTER folder with many folders in on my computer but when i add my master folder every song are in the library on rekordbox not separate like on my computer
all my song are in the collection but not separate like you
Very nicely organised
As a beginner i have no idea about the types of genres, could you please mind to make a separate video so the person like me will get to know which songs comes under which genre.
Apart from my doubt I'm really very thankful to you for making such a valuable content.
Thank you for this. I have decided to model your structure. I think you should have mentioned a downside to this method is you are a little committed to Rekordbox. Whilst not perfect, I've heard using iTunes keeps your files free from one software.
Come say hi if you find yourself in Adelaide, Australia
Hey. Thanks a lot for watching. Well this method can be used for any dj software. Not just Rekordbox. I m not really a fan of itunes. So I skip that. :) But yeah. A lot of people use itunes to organise music.
@@djdeepbhamra Ok, to clarify. It's my understanding it would be difficult to 'port' over playlists you build within rekordbox to another platform. This is the main concern I hear.
Have a nice day!
This was amazingly helpful and I really really appreciate you doing this!
Great knowledge 🎉🎉
But
How to create playlist BPM wise
Please make video on this topic
I always watch your videos and learn a lot of new things. Thanks from Sri Lanka
Thank u brother, in this lockdown period I have made my playlist the way u made. N m really happy vit it as it's easy for me to search my genre n songs, so really thank u bhai n I luv all the videos which is out, so keep up the gd work ...
Also can u tell me some websites (paid or free anything will do) where I can download more songs of particular genres
Hey. Thanks bro. I'm glad I was able to help you with something.
I really like your sorting system! I have one question though: if I export the music to a usb drive and want to go DJing in a club. Will the playlists also appear on CDJ's and other (rekordbox) dj systems? Or are the playlists only working if you use your laptop?
Edit: do you know any mp3 player (android) that would support this playlist system? Or is there an easy way to convert this to a system that's supported by a mp3 player app?
Ps: I'm using a slightly altered version. Instead of dividing the music in genres, I'll divide them using sounds and moods. Examples of sounds: bass heavy, hard kick, wobbly, sharp, minimal. Examples of "feelings": heavy, light, liquid, dark, normal. This way I can find my music even faster, especially for the genre I like (drum and bass)
Playlist will be visible on all pioneer dj players.
Can be Make Folder Genre Vise or BPM Vise which is better way to Arrange All Music.......
So where is the continuation of this video i can't find it please let me know the link. Thanks
What if your software crashes, or you need to change your pc,,,
will you lose all your playlist and you have to create all the Play list again from your main folder??
Bro you have helped a lot... especially for a newbie like me you sorted everythin out.. Thanks mate👍🏻
Hi bro...good video.....I am currently in johannesburg south africa and have been DJing here for around a year. and have seen some of your videos......I wanna clarify one of my confusion regarding playing on keys rather than sorting according to the BPM. The confusion is when we sort according to the keys on CDJ, the matching key tracks come but their BPM difference is a lot many times. So how should we handle such stuff....or if there is any way or website where we can download the music according to the BPM of our choice. Could you please make some separate video on that. Thanks in advance......
Dear Deep, I want to sort my playlist contents alphabetically. Your help with written stepwise instructions will be appreciated.
hi Deep .. We should keep Master Backup in Laptop or in External Drive ..?? what you suggest ..... Thanks for sharing knowledge ...
I love all your videos it always motivate us, and even we get to learn many things in lockdown period thanks for the support system
You are most welcome bro. Thanks a lot for watching 😇
A bit late here… So I had initially downloaded new music on my laptop and usb to start with (before having rekordbox). My music on usb is already sorted. I notice when I import it to rekordbox that it doesn’t keep my folders at all. Does this mean I have to create the folders/playlists all over again in rekordbox to match my usb?
Hey Deep thank you so much for an amazing Video. currently i am using Virtual DJ and the only reason i am using Virtual because the way i organized my files are yearly. for example in HINDI MOVIES i have full movie albums from 1950 until 2023. each year i make a yearly folder and download every movie hindi movie album. and i have yearly folder for every genre. i wanted to know is there a easy way to import all that hindi movies folders exactly that way in RB? if not how should i transfer all those hindi songs in RB? Thanks in Advance.
Great video and super informative 🙌🏽 I was just wondering what the best method is to sort music once downloaded as I usually download man y different genres in one day and my DL folder is all over the place. I also like to keep my music in my iTunes which also kind of complicates the matter even further.
Sir u are doing so good sir aapke har ek video bhot he useful hai thank you so much 😊❤️
Hey. Thank You for the compliment bhai. Videos dekhne keliye thanks. 👍👍
V helpful 🥰🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌👌
Hi,
if it’s possible to create all this folder / playlist structure in rekordbox software itself, why do I need folder structure on my laptop? I can just put everything in a DB folder on laptop, import it into rekordbox and create all folders and playlists there
Can we create like is folder in pendrive too sir...
How to add folder with tracks in rekordbox
I have a lot of tracks downloaded in bulk so how to identify which genre a particular track belongs to. Can you make a very short video on how to identify genre.
THANK YOU
How can i export folder and sub folder to a USB key with rekordbox software?
Great video! but one thing i didnt quite get is the routing. I should place all my music in the general folder of "rbox playlists" and then suborganize them from the software? what would be the use of "everything else" then? in which case do i have to categorize from the finder and when from the rbox app?
Everything else is for the files that are yet to be transferred to the designated folders.
Just curious what's Remix A, Remix C etc etc... seems a neat trick
Oh absolutely. It's a secret I'm not willing to reveal untill I reach 100k subs 🤣🙏😅
Thanks sir your videos helps alot for beginners ❤️.....just have one doubt from where to download songs!?????
Sir Main Abhi Abhi New Lounge Main DJ Play Kar Raha Hoon Mujhe Thoda Thoda Music Malum Hain But Mujhe Aur Music Ke Bare Main Sikh Na Uske Bata Do Na Because Main Hous Music And Remix Music Insab Main Bahot Confuse Hota Hoon Aur Mujhe Profile Main Mantion Bhi Karna Hai Main Kis Music Main Best Hoon..... And Iss Topic Pe Aap Vedio Banao Ge Toh Please Hindi Main Banda Dijiye Mujhe English Normal Aati Hain Aap Jis Jis World Use Karte Hoon Mujhe Trancelate Karne Aur Samaj Ne Main Bahot Time Lagta Hain😅
Great presentation... Simply simple... Thanks a million....
You are most welcome 🙏
why do this ? Isn't the point of RB the ability to create and change and evolve playlists from unorganised music in the root folder? Please advise
sir extended song kya hote he
Way too complex and RB which has difficulty finding files would probably crash with this spiderweb system. DJs need to learn how to DJ on the fly and not become file managers. I still subscribed because I enjoy your other turtorial videos. Respect to you & Best!
Thanks for the information sir! Good as a start for me.... Well explained
Thanks aot for watching o
Hello sir , thank you for this informative video .
I am using traktor , so can I make the same folders and use them while using the traktor .
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A VIDEO SERIES OF COMPLETE DJING COURSE WHAT ACADEMIES OFFER ?

Yes. That's already in the plan. But it will take some time😇 Thanks for the love btw. Hoping you would share my content on Facebook and help me grow.
@@djdeepbhamra Yes , definately I'll do
Thank you 😇

Your video was extremely helpful. I have one question though. If I export my rekordbox library to a USB can I delete the tracks on my laptop? Thanks in advance.
How to create master folders in Playlist
Hi Deep. Do you think that all your advices to your "sortings" also make sense while using an external hard drive and build up the structure there? I ask because of the storage problem which I`d have in the future on my main Mac. Thanks for the video it helps a lot to think in different directions;) Cheers Michael
hey i have some more genres future house ,progressive trance ,psy trance ,bigrooms , hardstyle, bootleg...where should i put them .....and also i needed to know that is lost story music progressive.....
Thanks for the info! One quick questioning though. I am mexican so latín (Spanish music) is needed to have and since there’s litterally a ton of different types from salsa to norteńas should I still stuff all the Latin and Spanish songs into one playlist called “ all Latin” or should I create a Latin playlist then inside of that create each different genre folder with their individual “all ---“ folder? Let me know what you think. Thank you in advance!
Hey. As I mentioned in the video. It's completely your choice and how you want to find your music. But since you asked me. If I were you I would create one master folder called all latin 1st and then create individual folders inside with each genre and then follow the same pattern in Rekordbox 👍
brilliant.
Hello sir. What to do if all my files are in my harddrive ?
Sir your videos are really very helpful Thank you for detailed Tutorial 🙏
Thanks a lot for watching. Glad it was helpful.
Thanx for such a wonderful video...u make it so easy...u explained it so well thnx a lot bro..if u can make a video on understanding genres it would be great..or if u have made it can i have a link of it..
Yes bro. I'm working on that video about understanding genres. 😇
And thank you so much for watching and following bro 🔥
Thanx to u..u made my wrk easy..keep up the good wrk..
Amazing video bro! Just one question. If my music is saved on the cloud but I have the folder with the music inside on my desktop. Will my music still be able to play on rekordbox once I’ve exported my songs onto my pendrive??
I don’t have the songs saved on hard drive and I don’t wanna delete everything on my desktop
how did you imported these folders as playlists
Any downsides to taking this approach, but having the master folder on the Desktop?
How about if we have folders which are already set in our laptop as per our personalizations then is it ok to just import those there in rekordbox
Thank you for the info!!! Could you tell where to get Bollywood music to download? Like a DJ Pool or other sources. 🙏
Pls chk aidc, aidm and hearthis.at
Also download4djs
Hey bro, thanks for the tips, really learned new stuff! I have one question though: I have hot cue’s on my usb that I’ve made on my CDJ but I want to import them without losing/replacing the hot cue’s I made in Rekordbox. Is this possible? Pls let me know.
i was wondering that , can we still play those old commercial & hip-hop tracks in the clubs & even their EDM remixes when its an EDM Night?? , or Only latest hits??
You can play anything that will make the crowd go crazy.
It's actually not a bad idea to drop in one old popular tune in between your mainstream set. You will get a great reaction coz they won't be expecting that. 🔥
@@djdeepbhamra thanks alot again
Hello! I'm using Traktor and was wondering if there was a similar feature on that platform to create playlists in between the folders that were created in the drop down menu? I hope my question makes sense.
Hi
I want to know how many different type of remixes of the same track should be downloaded & what should be the ideal BPM ranges to be kept in mind??
Quite interesting. Well. I have 2 or 3 remixes of some tracks. And I choose to play them according to the crowd. The BPM also differs according to the energy and time at which you'll be playing. I'll make a video on this topic in the future. Thank You. 😇
DJ Deep Bhamra thank you waiting for it 😀
This is use full i love it sir
Sir which websites best dj songs download plz tell
What if i got D and E drive please suggest
I like your system! But im a little confused about one thing. Whats the point of creating subfolders within subfolders if there wont be any songs put there in finder? For example, why create different house genres in finder if all house music is going to be routed to "house music"?
Wondering the same thing. In a reply to someone else he said that it works if you put all your files in an “all house” section for example, then organize accordingly in rekordbox. Copying the files to different folders in the files app sort of defeats the purpose of the all genre folder
What happens when a folder becomes too large? How do you seperate old/new music when everything is in one playlist? Let's say you put new music in your main folder which has 1000 songs, then you want to make a playlist from these songs but have to find them again in a list of 1000 songs. How do you specify energy levels?
You can sort files in a folder by "Date Added To Folder". You can find how to do it on any device by searching on the internet
And energy levels are up to the DJ to decide
God bless you
❤amazingly explained
Main ek playlist me 2/4 playlist kaise bana sakta hu
I really like the way you organize your music but I'm confused about one aspect. I play a lot of jungle/DnB and have multiple subgenres of DnB. So I made a DnB folder that cascades down into the multiple subgenres such as Liquid, Neuro, Minimal. Do I drop the music files into their subgenre folders based on the playlist or do I put all DnB music files into an ALL DNB folder and then make the subgenre playlists from within Rekordbox? If I make all of the playlists from within rekordbox then all of the DNB files would be in the ALL DNB folder and not the subgenre folders I made.
Depends on how much music you have per genre and sub genre. In your case it would be wise to create a folder with all sub genres and then their respective playlists. But it also works if you just add all dnb in one folder and then create playlists in Rekordbox. Ultimately it's how quickly you can get to the song you need :)cheers.
@@djdeepbhamra You rock man! Thank you for the quick response. This is easily the most informative Rekordbox tutorial I've seen to date! Keep it up! Are you gonna be dropping any production tutorials and do you offer private lessons?
super video, thanxs!!
Thanks for this video! I noticed that you've renamed some of your remixes as Remix A/B/C/D. Can you tell me the significance of it so that I can apply that logic in my playlists?
Multiple remixes of the same tracks are renamed as A
... D where A being the most played to D being the least. There is some more significance I'll probably share that in one of my future videos.
@@djdeepbhamra waiting for it! It'll surely help us to organize our songs in a more effective way! Thanks in advance! 😇
@@djdeepbhamra Yeah who cares about the remix artist lol.
thanks so much
Which website can I download my music collection
Bro thank u for files can we get the music to with cue points please
Please look after this bro
If from collection all track mene agar delete Kiya toh wo original laptop me se bhi delete honge?
this helped me a lot thanks
Omg. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this from you today. I made a lot of effort to make this video and I'm glad I was able to help you with it.
It would be nice if you can help me promote the video by sharing it on your facebook so more people can view it.
And do let me know if I can make more content that can help you.
Hi Deep, very well explained bro. Even my favourite genre is house music but I dont want to play BOllywood/Punjabi.So can I do that?WHat are your views about this?
Yes bro. You are free to choose what you want to play or don't want to play. Simply don't add that particular folder. :) All the best bro.
@@djdeepbhamra Thanks bro , right now I am getting gigs(4-5 a month) in my hometown Dehradun, I am thinking to expand to other cities like Bangalore where people have a good taste of music, please guide how do I do that??
Hey bro. 4 to 5 gigs a month in dehradun is V. GOOD. Im Happy to hear that. Expanding to other parts of the city requires a lot of online presence and following. Apart from that you also need to be good in marketing yourself. It's not a process I can type in a comment and tell you. But maybe if you can follow me on Instagram. I'll keep giving you tips on how to expand. 👍
Keep up the good work.
@@djdeepbhamra Yes also can you let me know which is the best city in India for House music/EDM so that I can plan to shift there? And did you start DJing as a part time first,were you working somewhere simultaneously??
Any city is good if you're best at it. Moving to a different city is quite challenging and there will already be a lot of competition and it may become difficult to survive. I'll recommend you make it to the top in your city and then people from outside will automatically call you. 👍
Thanks a ton 😊 ton means ton ❤️♥️♥️
You are most welcome bro.
Thank you so much🙏🏻🔥

@@djdeepbhamra so that means i will have to add all the playlists & folders in rekordbox again from 0 right?
