Stop Using Folders: Why Tags Are Better for Setlists

· One min read

You have a song called "Sweet Caroline." You put it in your "Oldies" folder. But now you're playing a wedding, and you need it in your "Wedding" folder. You have to duplicate the file. Now you have two versions. You update the chords on one, but forget the other. It's a mess.

The Old Way: Rigid folder structures that force a song to live in only one place.

The Bandfix Way: Smart Tags.

  • One Song, Many Tags: Tag "Sweet Caroline" with #Oldies, #Wedding, #SingAlong, and #CrowdPleaser.
  • Instant Filtering: When you need a wedding song, just filter by #Wedding. The song appears. It's the same master file, so any edits apply everywhere.

Pro Tip: Create a tag called #NeedsPractice so you can quickly pull up a list of songs you need to shed before the next gig.
