Choose one small job for this session. For example: “I want 15 songs for the first part of Saturday’s set.”
- Install and log in.
- Scan your main music folder and confirm one familiar song appears.
- Build a small crate or browse Crates → Mixable crates.
- Check the versions and local matches.
- Export to your DJ software and load several tracks.
You are done when: the crate is easy to find and the songs play correctly in your DJ software.
Save cleanup for another session
Duplicate cleanup and Folder flattener are optional. Get a working crate first, then back up your library before reorganizing anything.
