    I got an M1 Mac. I added my music to the music folder. Why isn’t Serato seeing my crates (from crappy pc). Maybe music is the wrong folder???? Help!!

    YES!! I am that "somebody right now" you mentioned in 2:15 lol. I never knew how to prevent my downloads from instantly playing in iTunes. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this video and thank for your presentation in Vegas at the Wedding MBA. I’m an old dog. Been doing this for so long and use to my old ways, but willing to update with the times and best methods of keeping my library organized. That being said, can I take what I have now (over 14,000 music files), and move them to Dropbox or start using the method you mentioned? Like the other comments made, all my downloads from BPM Supreme go directly to my iTunes library, because I’m still DJ’ing with iTunes crates (files)with Serato. I did pick up your book in Vegas. I saw that it speaks a bit about this subject.

    Nice video… probably should call out “Organizing music in Serato” since much of the organizing was done in Serato>. Good if you use Serato…. some of it applies to other software so good info

    This is amazing, thank you Dj Hapa! One comment I have after trying out your system for grouping and smart crates is that I really don't think it's any faster than dragging tracks into regular crates... Here's what I mean... Say you made a crate called chill, and you recently just brought in 50 new tracks to Serato... Why not just drag those 50 new tracks over to the chill crate instead of making a smart crate, making the rule to search for chill, then go back to the 50 tracks and mark them chill... Seems like an extra step, no?

    Thank you DJ Hapa. Just want to ask, what is the best and easy way to get only Clean lyrics?
