    Where they go

    New collection (one channel or playlist at a time when you fill these in)

    Short videos become single tracks, long ones mixes with a tracklist. Edit tracks.csv / tracklists in the collection folder, then Update.
    Analyze: rekordbox doesn't analyze tracks added this way by itself.
    1. Open mixarchive › Not analyzed yet.
    2. Ctrl+A, right-click › Analyze Track. Leave rekordbox open until it's done.
    3. Close rekordbox and Sync again: the list then only holds what's left.
    USB: sync the playlists you want in rekordbox's device view. Sizes below are the files alone; rekordbox adds about 0.7 MB of analysis + artwork per track on the stick.

    Merge playlists

    Moves one playlist's tracks into another, then deletes it (its tracks stay in the collection and in play histories). Copies of the same recording are found by ear: the best stays (WAV first) and the others' cues move onto it. The USB stick isn't changed.

    Backup + plan.csv first, in _rekordbox backups.

    Move them

    Cues, grids and analysis stay. Same drive = instant renames. Backup + undo journal first.

    Relocate missing files

    Same file name (and size) → rekordbox points at it.
