Cool trick for Beatport Playlists

zephry

For anyone making playlists on Beatport. I have a cool organization trick.

When you name your playlist use this symbol \ the backslash I believe.

For example:

House Music\My top tracks

House Music\2024 New grooves

This type of naming results in the first part House Music being shown as a main folder (in Traktor) and the part after the backslash as sub folders. (In Traktor). Essentially you can make a bunch of playlists in the Beatport application and the result is perfectly organized.

I use the Beatport phone application a lot and stubbled onto this. It really cleans up the Beatport playlist area and makes things easier to find. When looking at your Beatport Playlists in Traktor.

I would assume this works for Beatsource as well. @Owner

Above picture shows how I named Archive and the result in Traktor.

Nice, thank you @zephry !

Unfortunately Beatsource doesn't have an app, which is a bit tedious because you always have to work in the browser and that's not very practical on a smartphone.

But I quickly tested it on the desktop and it works on Beatsource too. Thank you for your tip - That will really help me in the future! 😀

This was something I stumbled onto. Lol. I was trying different naming because looking at the browser tree I needed categories.

I was using the backslash because my phone doesn't have a "quick press" forward slash. And all of a sudden folders with random parts of my playlist names were there.
