Suggestion: Include library management in free version

Rekordbox has from the start suffered from the lack of library management, everybody who has ever moved or re-named a file by accident knows how frustrating it can be when files are missing, exports fail, duplicate files etc.etc. I have been running semi-regular Rekordbox workshops and I always have to spend a lot of time to emphasize the importance of library management. The single most reason that people stay away from / have serious problems with the software is that they can’t keep their files in order.

Rekordbox 6 Creative plan includes the ”cloud sync” feature which also is a library management tool since it copies (or moves) the files to a designated Dropbox folder. Personally I don’t really see the benefits of this feature at a 20€ per month price point, including Dropbox space. But the library function would help out tremendously, especially for new users. If the free version included an option to manage the files automatically under, let’s say /Music/rekordbox/, all the problems with library management would go away. No more missing files, duplicates and failed exports that keeps pushing people away from using Rekordbox. And at least one hour that I spend on teaching people where to put their files could be focused on fun things like Memory Points, Hot Cues and My Settings :)
