@lee > I believe @tw332 said it best, so I don't need to repeat myself, and @lostnthesound provided a fairly accurate summary of everything I've posted. So to that end, I'll go ahead and consider this resolved.
Post is closed for comments.
You'll find you'll get a better response on forums if you a) give people the full information of what you're trying to do to begin with; and b) speak to people with respect.
No, they answered your questions as well as your follow-ups despite your rude & condescending tone. You're just refusing to accept the answers and listen to what you're being told.
While @Pulse was extremely thorough with his responses to you, allow me to break it down with a list, adding a couple things for good measure:
1. When using DJ software, constantly moving around your music files to different locations on your hard drive (rather than playlists) will, 99.9% of the time, completely fuck something up–missing file errors, break the "link" to the beatgrid/hot cue metadata, etc.
2. All of your "moving" should be done using playlists and folders from within the DJ software, not from the origin location on your hard drive. Doing such a thing is asking for trouble and complications. This is DJ Music Management 101, but from your patronizing tone to everyone trying to help you, I'm sure you already knew that...or did you?
2. In RekordBox (and Traktor), Collection refers to all the music that has been "imported" (more specific, linked from where you set the music path in your DJ software preferences or where you drag/dropped file from your HDD). Here you can playlists and/or folders nested with playlists. "Explorer" in Rekordbox/Traktor refers to locations on your computer–like a file explorer. Best practice is to leave this alone most of the time.
3. "Relocate" in RekordBox is used to locate music files that are missing from your Rekordbox music collection, not to physically move the location of a music file from point A to point B.
3. In your linked post you claimed was ignored, you displayed two images of your Rekordbox GUI claiming you couldn't relocate the file or move it to another playlist. I can see in the left panel that you're highlighting the "New 2" playlist, and none of those tracks have the orange exclamation point. This means the files are located and are currently on a playlist. There's nothing to "relocate" because nothing is missing, i.e. located. There is no problem.
4. So you want to move a song from one folder/playlist to another–in your example from "October" to "Tech House"? No problem! In Rekordbox, select all of the songs in the playlist "October" and drag them into the Tech House playlist. This way you've "moved" the songs around in your software, while keeping the original file locations of the songs in tact, preventing any possible problems and maintaining beatgrid/hotcue/metadata.
So let's review:
1. Don't fuck around with music files using Finder or Windows Explorer, moving them around will cause a ton of issues. Keep them in one centralized location. I have two folders I use: iTunes and Beatport. All my music resides in these two base folder and I never, NEVER mess around with the files in these folders.
2. "Relocate" in Rekordbox is used the locate Missing Music Files, not to move them from Point A to Point B.
3. If you want to move around songs for the sake of management/archiving, do so using Playlists/Playlist Folder tools from within Rekordbox. This will keep your beat grids/hot cues in tact, unlike physically moving their locations on your hard drive which will cause issues, always.
4. Don't act like an entitled asshole when others are trying to help you. In this case, you (erroneously) thought "Relocate" meant "moving a file to another location" when in reality, it's a function to locate Missing Music Files. Rather than realize this, you continued to grow more frustrated and came off acting like a know-it-all shithead who thinks he's headlining a spot in Ibiza this weekend. This community exists to help one another, the Mods assisting are a bonus. Have some, as Birdman would say, "respeck" and for fucks sake, don't talk down or patronize others who are attempting to help you–especially when they all were kind enough not to call you out on not knowing how to manage your music collection via playlists/folders. And considering the fact that the Mods work for Pioneer, I'm willing to bet they know more about the software than you. Call it a hunch.
5. Try not to choke on the humble pie you just got served.
Peace.
so its a no this can't be done is that what your trying to say in your half novel you just wrote there
and if i got told a straight answer from the start other than this would be a better way i would adapt my organisation style to suet pioneers incapable software
