getting my library organized on rekordbox, specifically for easy lookup on CDJs

i'm thinking:
- use MyTags to support multiple genres / moods per track
- add MyTags to Comments, allowing them to be displayed and searchable on CDJs (can't seem to do this with Genre)
- derive playlists from MyTags

what's your approach?

I started out on Serato, but needed to sync my library with rekordbox for the same reason. Been on Lexicon ever since https://www.lexicondj.com/

Not the cheapest, but it’s a Swiss Army knife for library management and syncing between dj software. Keyboard shortcuts, smart playlists, auto tagging by energy etc.

I’ve found the specificity quite useful for navigating moods and energy levels on the fly, and I think adding the ‘dominance’ value could be worth doing too.

Currently building a tool to integrate with an AI model and auto-tag all of my tracks in this way. If anyone’s interested feel free to DM :)

3/3

In terms of organisation, I took cues from music sentiment analysis, which works across 3 dimensions: valence (positive/negative), arousal (energetic/calm), and dominance (overpowering/passive).

I’m only using valence and arousal atm, rated 0-9 for each, and it goes into the Comments tag, i.e. #X3 #Y6
