Great advise s always Jason. One caveat about the folder flattener. If you have a massive library, I recommend not jumping into it without a restorable backup. I did on a library of about 280k tracks, and my music searches went from instantaneous to 30 minutes on Mac OS finder. As far as duplicates, it helped me eliminate exactly 197 duplicates out of over 280k songs. Also when using the crate hackers app, it took the app 5-10 minutes to make a playlist once my library was flattened. Once I restored my music back into folders by genre and sub genre all of my speed returned. I know for most people the flattener works great, I just want to make sure people know flattening is not for everybody. For efficiency, I only carry about 12k songs, based off of what Jason described with using my history to establish songs.
OF COURSE! The cool thing about CH is that it doesn't wipe your original folders, so you can technically have both until you are ready to jump in all the way.
Thank You for your content Jason. I use Crate Hackers as well, and it is a constant work in progress for sure. The one crate to rule them all concept was hard to grasp when I first flattened too many folders, however once I got more decisive about what goes in that folder it became more realistic. Thanks for your tips and insight!
Jani! My man, just love the way to explain the method to your madness, just brilliant. I'm currently working on a tag system myself, probably gonna steal your color coding, that was clever. But regarding the separate folder on the desktop, do you have a crate in serato for that as well, or do you just keep it on the desktop as a back-up?
So if you move everything from multiples to a single one, will Serato automatically find it again? Or would I have to go into every crate and re-link the songs?
I have the lifetime of crate hackers because it’s so valuable, and saves me so much time. Love the content Jani!

You’re a legend. Sent you a link of this on instagram
You bet man! Appreciate your MLT

you should move your music, when you are inside Serato / files section. so anytime you move it, serato will automatically know the file path.. VIP
Then you clean out your tracks and re import them!
