Build Note: A DJ Tool I Wish I’d Had 10 Years Ago

Depending on when you met me on my journey, you might not know that I’ve taught over 30,000 people how to DJ.

For the first part of my life and career, I was entrenched in the music industry.

And I DJed around the world.

While I always loved finding new music (still do), I hated organizing my music library for playing.

And Rekordbox (Pioneer’s DJ software) was tedious and to this day lacks several key features.

So for a weekend project, I built a tool that organizes my music library with a key-command-driven interface that lets me dynamically rename my entire library without using a paid tool like Mixed In Key.

And it automatically syncs playlists with Rekordbox instantly.

Basically, it takes hours of tedium and turns it into something almost instantaneous.

Now I just play for fun, but this is the kind of small but powerful project that we’re all able to build each day.

How could you not be excited about this stuff?
