Organize your library in Rekordbox.

Turn a flat collection into a library you can actually pull from.
Organizing in Rekordbox, step by step.
Rekordbox keeps your structure in playlists and folders rather than your operating system's folders. Build it inside the app so it travels to USB and CDJs.
Import your collection
In Collection, drag in your music folders or use File then Import. Let Rekordbox analyze the tracks so BPM, key, and waveforms are ready before you sort.
Create playlists and folders
Right-click the Playlists pane and choose Create New Folder for top-level groups, then Create New Playlist inside them. Keep one clear idea per playlist so it stays useful.
Color and sort
Assign track colors for a rough system (for example a color per energy level), then sort the list by BPM, key, or rating using the column headers to find tracks fast.
Use My Tag for detail
Open the My Tag pane from the tag icon on the right side of the browser, add tags with the + button, and rename them inline to fit how you play. In Preferences under Advanced, the My Tag section has an option to write My Tags into the Comments column, which is how they become visible on CDJs.
Let Intelligent Playlists maintain themselves
Right-click the Playlists pane and choose Create New Intelligent Playlist, then stack rules on BPM, key, rating, color, date added, or My Tag, matching all conditions or any of them. A rule like a My Tag plus a BPM range gives you a crate that fills itself as you keep tagging.
The catch
Every part of this is manual, and the pieces do not talk to each other: colors, My Tags, and playlists are three separate systems you keep aligned by hand. Genre folders and colors still do not tell you how a track feels or where it belongs in a night.

Tag by feel, not by folder.
Vibes imports the same library and lets you organize by how a track actually feels, with on-device AI doing most of the tagging, then exports the whole structure back into Rekordbox.
