wav’s annoying for not displaying the full details in the track collection. I wanted to keep the quality, yet introduce the ease of reading the meta tags and cover art.

The worst feeling whilst playing a set, is having only a few bars of a track left before you’ve even got something loaded up into the next deck. Knowing how your music is organized and where you can find it with ease, will make your job as a DJ much more joyful. Yet I feel it is the most crucial aspect to making sure that you flow as a DJ. Keeping your music files organized is actually the most difficult part of digital DJ’ing.
