works also, if you want to use tracks with samples and the original source tracks together or you’re just searching for them.

the comment line is in general very handy - i also like to add the mood of a track or the right place/ time to play it.

and i also try really hard to get to know the songs that i do buy on a closer level where i do my best to listen to them outside of the DJ application.

but on the whole i haven’t found a really good solution and i think we’re all hoping that Torq beefs up its database in future releases.

I use the comments section extensively, but more in the way that tags/categories are used in blogs. Every song has a list of words or phrases that describe it, like “groovy”, “cool bassline”, “bongo-break”. I also use a lot a playlists to group songs together.

That’s exactly what I do, I use tags such as “groovy”, “happy”, “epic”, “set-ender”, “repetitive”, etc. Unfortunately, this does not work too well - you still have to know your tracks, so that when you look at the track name you can hear it in your head, and this is difficult to do if you have a bunch of tracks. I guess with mp3s it’s more difficult - in previous times you couldn’t carry a thousand records with you.
Tagging does help though if I’m playing a vocal track and I want to do another vocal and also something that’s happy, then I can search for “happy vocal” and voila!

thanks for heaps of good ideas, will have to check them out still new to DJing so everything helps.

Peace
