You could, but then I'd hate you. lol
Seriously, it's better to organize your music properly BEFORE importing it, as it can help later sorting or filtering your music.

Am I wasting time sorting music before uploading?
I have general genre folders and inside sub folders with sub genres which then have the music.
Is there a way I can import all of the music into rekordbox in the folders that they are in? Without having to drag & drop each individual folder everytime you get new music.
I'm trying to find a less time consuming way of doing it, because this is the main part of djing that prevents me from practicing because of my weird OCD issues hahahah.

"Keep the proces as simple as possible!
The more complicated you make it, the harder it will be to stick to it."
That's good advice from digitaldjtips.
Read their article "The five steps of any good DJ music library system" for some inspiration.
Above all: find your own way and have fun again. Don't overthink it too much.
In my opinion organizing everything into subfolders onto your hard drive is a complete waste of time. For a couple of reasons:
- online streaming services are the future. And they organize music on their hard drive for you. (and you will use it later, you are not buying DVD's now either, are you?)
- When restoring a backup from rebordbox, is the original folder structure on your hard drive restored? (question for Pulse)
The way I do it:
- focus my OCD onto the metadata of the audiofile (artist, title, year, genre/subgenre,...)
- use mytag in RB to organize your library
- save that mytag info and hard work to the audiofile: settings -> advanced -> browse" and select "Add MyTag to the comments".
- if you want to jump to serato later your hard work is not lost :-)
