Well, if you just copy the mp3s from your folder, the info will be lost. But as long as you copy it from within the files section in serato itself it should work just fine. At least it does so for me.

I did it in Serato, but now I come to think of it, I originally put it on a folder to a portable powered HD, which didn't work when I plugged it into the controller. So I ended up transferring the folder onto a borrowed laptop and then onto a USB stick. That last step was done outside of Serato so maybe it was that.

So apparently all CDJ systems use Rekordbox. Bugger, so why did I opt for Serato again? Another thing I noticed is they don't really like FLAC files. So why did I download all those tunes on FLAC again?

obv they're not pioneer but numark cdjs are mostly serato compatible iirc

it's more the compatibility issue with other people's systems. Twice I've been asked to play and been told 'you just need to bring a USB with your tracks and everything's set up for you', only to discover that a quarter of my tracks won't play and the rest have all their cue, bpm and key info missing.

it's just useful having all that stuff in there if I want to do fast cuts etc.
Can anyone school me on DJ pools? I'm having difficulty finding download sources for the kind of music I like to play out (mostly afrobeats/dancehall/soca/global beats) since the demise of Google Play. DJ Pools have been mentioned, but I've no idea how these work. I mean, really I don't want a massive glut of tunes - I like to download things on a track by track basis.
