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.

I have a folder called "PLAY FROM THIS" & stick any newies in there. Works for me.

This has to do with naming the Playlists in Beatport. It causes folders to be made in Traktor so that you can have subcategories.
