Importing tracks
The following describes the typical procedure for importing tracks.
! There are various ways to import tracks with the Serato DJ software. For details, see the Serato DJ software manual.
! If you are already using Serato DJ software (Scratch Live, ITCH or Serato DJ Intro) and have already created track libraries, the track libraries you
have previously created can be used as such.

The contents of your computer or the peripheral connected to the computer are displayed in the [Files] panel.
2 Click the folder on the [Files] panel containing the tracks you want to add to the library to select it.
3 On the Serato DJ software screen, drag and drop the selected folder to the crates panel.
