Collections

PowerBox DJ uses Collections as a set of workspace. In it, you can show/hide the types of collections to see work with.

Collections are very customizable and are completely open to using them however you want.

Have a collection just for a Wedding Ceremony, and another just for Wedding Receptions.

Boxes

An unsorted, fast loading list of distinct songs that can be used as filters.

This feature is specifically designed to help you categorize your music without any preset sorting order.

The Boxes menu has a Box Wizard to further help you add a collection of Boxes in 1 shot.

Filter Sets

Each Filter Set is a set of fully customized filter rules that work together.

Each rule can be turned on/off and each set can be turned on/off with a simple click.

Live Brushes

Each Live Brush Set is a set of fully customized filter rules that work together to add color to your library to help you find songs same as you would looking at a picture.

Pre loaded sets are

  • af: Analyzed Audio Features
  • Keys
  • BPM ranges, and Master Genres.

You can use the wizard to add as many as you want and fully customize each one based on ranges, or specific values.

M3u Playlists

A pre sorted list of songs that can also be used as filters.

Box songs are unsorted and distinct. Playlists ARE sorted and not distinct.

Therefore, playlist songs work well when not a long list whereas boxes have no limit for the amount of songs.

Sample Sets

Similar to a box, Sample Sets are unsorted, fast loading, distinct songs.

When selecting a Sample Set, the Sampler will auto load all the samples in the set.

There is no set limit and the Sampler can load multiple sets to see and use at the same time.

Folders

Save your favorite folder locations here to quickly open it in the PC Browser tool to auto add media (songs, playlists, pictures, and videos) with no delay.

Sessions (categorized history)

Sessions is a list of categorized history of unsorted songs played with various players.

The Song.ID, Player name, and date/time played is all that is saved so loading or using as a filter is super fast.

A good example of how to use Sessions in a Collection would be Collection Salsa. Session1: Monday night Teach. Session2: Monday night Dance.

Selecting a session will load them to the history calendar as statistics and to the Sessions tab.

It will also set the count for songs played with a max of Played, or 1 per day, or 1 per week so repeat plays will not misrepresent the stats nor the count.

Max play count is set in settings.

Notes

A note can be used as a regular note.

It can also convert that note into a list of search or search results.

In a List of Search, select an item to search for that in the library.

In a Search Result, the first song to match the result will show.

Video Sets

An unsorted, fast loading list of distinct videos that can be used as filters.

This feature is specifically designed to help you categorize your videos without any preset sorting order.

Picture Sets

An unsorted, fast loading list of distinct pictures that can be used as filters.

This feature is specifically designed to help you categorize your pictures without any preset sorting order.
