DJ.Studio has a powerful library manager.
This allows you to import, organize, and sort your music collection - making it easy to find and add songs to your mix.
This guide explains everything you need to know about DJ.Studio's library system.
The library is the interface for managing the music imported into DJ.Studio and for browsing the music collection on your device.
From here, you can see music in your connected DJ software, tracks you’ve added to DJ.Studio, and browse through the folders on your computer - just like a typical file explorer.
Adding Tracks to Your Library
There are three ways to add tracks to your library.
A) Internal File Explorer:
Open the music library window.
Click on the Explorer tab to browse your PC's file system.
Open tabs to move through your folders to find tracks in your library
Click the + button to import songs from the browser into your main DJ.Studio Library.
B) Drag-Drop Import:

Local File System
DJ.Studio lets you browse the contents of your hard drive, to find and import music.
Open this simply by clicking the Library tab, in the left navigation bar of the home screen, or in the header of a project.
The first tab Library, shows you your native local files in DJ.Studio, you will also see other tabs for any connected software.
The navigation bar shows the following items:
Collection: This works the same as it did, showing all the tracks you have recently added to projects/mixes.
Explorer: Allows you to access all your folders and music tracks on your machine, from within DJ.Studio, just like what the Finder or the Explorer on your machine will show. You can look for tracks you want to use, without having to add them to your DJS library.
You can Pin music folders you want easier access to by clicking the pin icon that appears on hover
Add external drives to your library explorer by clicking the + icon
Playlists: you can make your own playlists with tracks from your (local) library and/or integrations. Select the tracks you want to add, click the right mouse button and choose whether you want to create a new playlist or add them to an existing one.
Note: a playlist is only available from within the DJ.Studio library, this is not a mix. It’s a selection of tracks that you might want to use for a mix later on.
Analyze Tracks
Sometimes tracks in your library don't display the BPM and Key information, which makes it hard to know if they are compatible in your mix.
You can easily analyze any track in your library to reveal the information.
Locate the track you want to analyze
Right-click, and select Analyze
Wait for the analysis to complete, and you will now see the BPM and key information
