I gave up on SmartCrates as often the mp3 metadata is actually incorrect. So i just do it manually now. Im quite religious about how i maintain serato. So i generally download tracks throughout the week. Then on a sunday night i import them into Serato. Set all my Hot Queues as per my standard for every track, then move them to each Crate as applicable. I then make a fresh Serato Backup and also my main Music structure is also backed up to my NAS unit. And my NAS unit also sync's with the Cloud as well. You can never have too many backups !.

Wow thank you I can't believe I've never heard of the auto download folder inside serato folder! Thank you for the heads up!

[andyreyes]

Very helpful video for some. Question, do the files from Latest Import physically get removed from that crate when moving them to your own crates in serato? Or will the track stay in the latest import crate?

[robertrobinson]

Why would I want to load My mp3 music files into the AutoImport folder and slow my computer down when I have an external SSD hard which I have connected to Serato?

[DjBIGMARK]

Does auto import work with external hard drives

[victorcruikshank]

Great tutorial. Quick question. What do I do with the other music that I have downloaded? I dont want to have different files. Should I import them into auto import?

[tobydulanski]

Stared making a master and backup file for all artists. This is going to help a great deal. Thank

[bgautotransport]

This is a great hack!! Is it possible to set this up also with iTunes? So whatever is downloaded through I tunes will be automatically added and sorted?

[Gaitheric]

Is there a similar function to this in Rekordbox?? This is awesome!

[willyinthemix]

The crate Crossfader music free pack? 👍🏽

I hate the idea of having all of the music go to the Serato folder (like the actual files... > Imported). I just wish all functionality worked if you placed a shortcut to the actual files in the Auto Import folder. It does in fact work, but it updates the date added of every track to the current day each time you open serato.

This would be hard to use for multi genre DJ, don’t you think?

[KM-gclv]

Wow saves so much time. Thanks you!!!! Made me push more in this dj process. 👨‍💻🙏

[itssayaboilastname]

How can I do this without needing to restart the app?? What if I need to take a request mid-set?

[bboymac]

Wow very smart to get songs added in a very organized way. As long as you down load from dj record pools your good!

[djvientiane]

amazing trick ! helpful and saving a huge time ! if you drag a folder album, does it appear as a subcrates into the Latest Import crate?

[SerafinTirado]

Thanks. I been doing it the hard way for 10 years

[M_E_T_R_O__]

does it copy the music to say an external drive? i dont keep music on my actual laptop. Or is there way to specify the location of the Auto Import folder? thanks

Crossfader are usually exceptionally good with tech tips, but this seems like a terrible idea. Over time your files would become a complete mess. What if you use other DJ software? You’d have to tell Rekordbox (etc.) to find your music in the Serato folder? Just keep an organised folder structure, then drag and drop into Serato, so easy! It’s because of these types of ‘hacks’ that DJs end up with missing files in software and also makes backups a problem because files are located in random folders.
