Sorting my 500 songs music folder into genres folders
Hey
Im a beginner DJ, started like 4 months ago.
When I started, I made a folder in my PC of like 500 songs, mixed with house reggae trance mainstream and everything.
Now, Its getting bit messy and I want to make a folder for each genre in my PC, move the actual files to it and have it sorted - every PC folder will have its Rekordbox playlist. But i'm not sure how to do it, since I see some are getting errors while relocating the files or something. I don't wanna lose my hot ques and my manual analysed tracks. Can someone explain me how to do it without problems? (I wanna move manually each song, not with a genre of each song cause not all of them got genre in the song tags)
thanks!

@Ron > The songs won't be lost and waveform / cue data lost because the song file itself has been moved, simply use the relocation tool to find the missing songs after you've moved them. Because you're using "major category" folders, you will have to repeat the process several times for each folder you've created, but it won't take long to relocate all your music.

You could also still put everything in one folder and make smart playlist by genre into Rekordbox.
Yeah, but it sounds like he wants to sort by genre for some crazy reason.
Let's hope he never redefines the genre of a song and then the metadata doesn't match the folder! ;)
