Import as a Playlist root directory or each subfolder?

Hello everyone!

I've my Music in a folder called "MusicDJ" and a loooot of subfolders

MusicDJ

->Reggaeton

-> Bachata

->Brazil

->Dance

and more than 200 others..

 

Should I "Import as a playlist" the TOP folder (MusicDJ) or each folder (Reggaeton, Bachata, Dance, etc...)

What happend when I add new song to a folder? How Rekordbox update my playlist and take the song to "Collection"?

Thanks a lot!

If you import the root, all sub-folders are imported. If you wanted to maintain them as playlists, you could create a new playlist and import those specific folders into the playlists.

If you wanted to update your collection, importing new songs that were added to any folder within the structure, simply import the root folder again.

But If I import the root again, it will analize every song or just the newones? because all songs takes half a day!

thanks a lot!

lol - just the new ones. That would be a horrible functionality if it re-imported every song every time.
