Summary

This video explains the crucial step of organizing your music files in a dedicated folder on your computer or external drive before importing them into Rekordbox to ensure the software can always locate your tracks.

Key Points

  • While you can create subfolders within your main Rekordbox music folder for organization (e.g., by genre or date), it is not strictly necessary as Rekordbox itself offers robust organization tools. 
  • The primary goal is to establish a stable, permanent location for your music library that Rekordbox can consistently access. 
  • Always move new music files to your dedicated Rekordbox folder *before* importing them into the software to prevent the software from losing the file path. 
  • Once music files are moved into this dedicated folder, they should not be moved or deleted from that location to avoid Rekordbox losing track of them. 
  • The dedicated music folder can be named anything and located anywhere, including an external hard drive, but the drive must be connected when using Rekordbox. 
  • If using an external hard drive, ensure you have enough USB ports for both the drive and the USB stick you'll export to. 
  • Rekordbox does not copy or move music files; it links to their original location, so files must remain in their designated storage spot. 
  • After moving music files from downloads or other temporary locations into the dedicated Rekordbox folder, you can safely delete them from their original source. 
  • It is essential to create a specific folder on your hard drive or an external drive to store all your music intended for Rekordbox.
