I recently started building my music library more seriously and realized… things get messy FAST. 😅 After a few gigs where I couldn’t find the right track quickly enough, I knew I needed to rethink my organization system.
At a lounge set, I wanted to switch vibes from deep house to chill R&B, and I knew I had the perfect track... but couldn’t find it in time. Spent too long scrolling and ended up defaulting to a safe choice. The crowd didn’t notice, but I was annoyed at myself 🤦♂️
So how do you tag or organize your tracks? Do you use folder structures or metadata (genre, mood, BPM)? Any tools or best practices you’d recommend?

I just use instant filters with the music category in the genre field. So if I'm on my main video collection I can just hit "disco" and all the disco tracks show up instantly.
You can also double up so if the genre is set as PARTY and DISCO it will show up on both filters.
