ORGANISING YOUR LIBRARY
ITCH can support an unlimited number of tracks – the only limitation is the size of the hard drive of your
computer. A number of features are included to help you to keep your music organized and find tracks
quickly and easily.
MAIN LIBRARY VIEW
CRATES
ITCH uses digital crates for quick access to your favorite collections. There is no limit to the number of
crates you can create, and any given track can be placed in multiple crates. The crate area is on the left
hand side of the library.
For example, you could organize your tracks into the following crates, where any one track would be
filed in more than one crate.
• Hip Hop
• French Hip Hop
• UK Hip Hop
• Instrumental Hip Hop
• Old School Hip Hop
• Hip Hop Loops
To make a new crate, click the + button. To rename a crate, double click the crate name. You can change
the order of tracks within a crate by dragging them up or down.
TIP: The ‘Protect Library’ option in the setup screen applies to removing, editing and renaming crates.
Check this option to prevent changes to your crates. See page 55.
SUBCRATES
You can drag and drop crates into other crates to make subcrates. If you drag a crate to the very left of
the crate panel, it will stay in the top level of the crate structure. If you drag the crate a little to the right,
onto the name of another crate, it will make the crate you are dragging a sub crate of this crate. Sub-
crates can be opened and collapsed, allowing you to have a large number of crates whilst making them
easy to browse.
