HA HA HA YOUR FUNNY...... The only thing is that I didn't realize that I had 20 thousand songs on my desktop external hard drive along with 6 8gig flash drives.... Yes I believe in doing it yourself. But with having a few gigs under my belt( total of 5.1 paying client and the rest were free) and knowing what songs are in and what are out and don't for get the oldies too. it will take me forever to organize my library. Yes i'm a noob only been doing it for over a year now I don't even consider my self a DJ yet. I always loved to watch the DJ's when i had the chance when I've gone out to parties as a kid and just listing on how the DJ plays their mixes. Now that I can afford my own gear I figure why not give it a shot Most of the time I tell my coworkers i'll do it for free since a bunch of them are nurses and doctors that make very good money. I don't mind doing it for 4hrs I just want to know that i'm the person that is getting everyone in the grove. but I set my limit to 4hrs anything after that then you'll have to pay. living in vegas I know that i'm a piss ant compared to how many dj's that live in this town I don't expect seeing myself playing in any of these big clubs I just told myself its just have fun earn a little extra cash for my kids since I have 4days off a week and thats it and the wifey doesn't mind figure 13yrs together she knows i'm not going any where.... I know that was way more info off topic but still looking for any suggestions. the only one I found so far is media monkey.com

thanks in advance
 
 
 
so right now u just have a hard drive with one folder & a bunch of random music. ? im just trying to understand your question. like on my DJing laptop its in my music folder and after you click that folder all my certain folders are there = 80"s / old school / new music downloads / country / spanish / freestyle / ect,ect im not sure if this is what your asking?
 
The reason why i do it mannually is because, I have more controll of what i am going to play next. I dont have folders setup up by Bpm, Top 40, Most played etc.

Yes that is what I have right now besides my lillte playlist that I have on iTunes. All I've done is categorized what ITunes has recognized by genre. So if it's rap it's in a rap playlist of it's reggae it's in a reggae folder and so forth.
 
 
If you need ti tracks in specific folders, a good way to organize is set up a filter folder in vdj, get the results, highlight all the tracks that were found by pressing on the first track then hold shift and select the last track in the list, then hold CTRL and drag the tracks into whatever folder you want, but you may as well just set up filters and leave it as that, then you can have songs in multiple filter folders.

you can get pretty specific with your filters if you have tagged your tracks properly eg

genre contains "rap" and year>=1990 and year<1994 and rating=5 and bpmdiff<=5 and keydiff=0

it will find only the five star rap tracks made between 90 and 94, that are within 5 bpm of the active track and only a max of 1 camalot key from the playing track.

Once you have your filter folders set up you can nest them inside virtual folders so you can have tree browsing, I have about 60 filters folded down to just one space in a virtual folder in the browser when not in use.

Thanks guys looks like I got a lot of work to do.... If you don't mind can you post a screen shot of how your filter trees look so I can have some what of an idea of what I should kinda be looking out to what it looks like. If you don't no hard feelings here I understand. Thanks again.
 
TuneUp Companion has one major advantage over all the other solutions: it uses Gracenote CDDB database ““ which is considered to be one of the largest and most comprehensive out there. It’s definitely the most comprehensive solution ““ and easy to use. TuneUp is available for Mac and Windows and works by interfacing with your iTunes Music Library. Even if you don’t use iTunes to manage your music day-to-day, you can download it, fix your music then import it in your preferred application.
