Preparing to build a DISCO Catalog

Lesson Summary

1. Upload and Categorize Files: Start by uploading your music files to DISCO, saving them as either playlists or albums. Playlists have rectangular artwork, while albums have square artwork.
2. Create a Channel: Set up a new channel for your catalog, such as "DISCO Records." This channel will house all your playlists and albums.
3. Organize with Folders: Within the channel, create separate folders for playlists and albums to keep everything organized.
4. Move Playlists to Folder: Navigate to the playlists you've created, select them, and move them to the playlist folder within your channel.
5. Move Albums to Folder: Similarly, move the albums to the album folder in your channel.
6. Ensure Clean Metadata: Make sure all your tracks have clean and accurate metadata for easy identification and organization.
7. Populate Artist Profiles: Add a photo and bio to each artist profile to provide additional context and information.
8. Use Add to Channel Option: Utilize the add to channel option to easily move multiple playlists or albums at once.
9. Revisit and Adjust: Regularly revisit your channel and folders to ensure everything remains organized and up to date.
10. Streamlined Process: Following these steps ensures a streamlined process for building and maintaining your DISCO Catalog.
