You can easily move files via hitting cmd + alt + v :) - no need to copy and delete afterwards!

The best video by far on how to organize your music files!!! Well done looking forward to more!

[SPIONAT]

this is exactly what i searched for ... some time the small information are key ... thanks

[LennoxWhite-lbye]

I have music on my computer already organized, I can't find them In rekord box menu, what should I do?

[owwjpcc]

Does anyone know how to delete recording files?! I have like 100 folders but they won't delete

[djeM]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been watching so many videos but your explanation is on point! You make it so easy.

I recently installed rekordbox and imported music via a usb stick and now the directory of 95% of my music is D:\PIONEER\Contents\, where there is basically a thousand subfolders for each individual artist. how am i supposed to update that? im hoping the answer isnt that i should make a subfolder for each track i wanna add :(

Just to make sure I understand. If I drag all my music into one main Rekordbox folder on my computer and as a back up, keep all my music also on an external hard drive, then lets say my computer crashes and I buy a new one. I could download Rekordbox again on the new computer, transfer the music from the external hard drive into a Rekordbox folder and then Rekordbox itself, use the 'relocate' feature inside Rekordbox so it could find the tracks again?? and everything would be exactly as I had it saved before?? With all cue points, memory points, playlists and everything?

Thanks for this video. I made the rookie-misstake and deleted all my tracks from "download list" . But somehow I'm still able to play them through Rekord box anyway... But after watching this i searched for some tracks in Mac-finder and it seems like the songs are collected at some Music app on my computer... Anyway, should I move all this into a new folder at my computer? I feel super disorganized right now...😩

[kksasana]

Thank you so much for the video!! the explanation is awesome and clear!! easy to understand!

[DanielEstrada-nrpb]

I have sub folders in my main folder but my files always go missing in Rekordbox, not sure why ._.

[rossbellino]

Sorry just to be clear is that REKORDBOX folder on your usb or on the computer?? that part wasnt very clear

[criiminalis]

wish I found this video earlier… already have hundreds of music imported to rekordbox from my downlods and it alwqys bothered me I can’t move them from there.
I already have most of my music set to cues and other stuff so don’t want to lose them by deleting all anf migranting them to a folder. Any suggestions?

[prodefebeats]

Do I have to store all my music in my laptop? Because I got so many music and it will eat too much space on my laptop. Can’t I just store my music in a usb and when I plug my usb will it recognise it from there?

[otherworlder]

hi thanks for the tutorial. what about streaming music like tidal?

[bendavies]

If I do it the way you explain but later decide put sub folders within that main folder, will rekordbox still find them? TIA

[yhicmwn]

Thanks for your videos! Question - I don't have the rekordbox folder, only the downloads of the software itself, so what can I do? I use an ASUS computer not a MACBOOK....

[traviswinn]

Kind of basic, how about how to really organize your songs/music within Rekordbox. Thanks.

[davidonthefly]

What do you do when you add new music to your main folder but then it all gets mixed in and you still need to move them to your collection but you cant find them now?
