Harmonic keys - which ones mean which?

I've been doing my reading on theory. That said, I'm trying to grasp the annotations first. 

 Regarding the Rekordbox Key display, is this correct: 

 A = A major

 Am = A minor

 A#m = A sharp minor

 Abm = A flat minor

 

Lastly, I get that not all items in RB are on the Camelot wheel, and that you just go up one key to get from sharp to flat (A# = Bb)

But now that I'm looking at RB, I see a lot of things like A#m  (A-Sharp-Minor). What do I do in this case? I also have a D#m and F#m.

 Perhaps A# =  A#m?? 

 

Thank you!

Hi Tim, yes - that is correct - b is flat and # is sharp. All keys are equal, so they all count as one key. A-flat may also be referred to as G-sharp, that is, the key between G and A. You should find G# on the Camelot wheel.

Thank you Gavin!

 I was editing the OP, so I added a secondary paragraph if you have a moment.

 Regards.
