You can quickly mark a few Spotify playlists and make them available offline directly from your phone — your computer doesn’t need to be on because you download tracks directly from Spotify’s own server.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network to do this procedure when possible, rather than 3G, because Wi-Fi is probably a lot faster and, depending on your data plan, should cost less, too.
There’s an option in your settings that allows you to turn syncing over 2.5G/3G networks on or off to avoid unnecessary data costs. On the iPhone, go to Settings and ensure the Sync over 2G/3G switch is in the Off position (it appears gray, not green, when it’s set to Off). On Android, go to More→Settings and make sure Sync over 3G is unchecked.
Drag your external HDD's music folder from the 'Files' tab onto the 'relocate lost files' button. This will get rid of orange marked songs, and re-connect them with their new homes on the external HDD. Note: If you skipped step 4, it won't look for the song's new home, but instead your old on-board library. You don't want that. Desktop & Touch. Djay Pro for Windows combines the best of both worlds, desktop and touch. Specifically leveraging the unique capabilities of the Microsoft Surface lineup and modern Windows computers, djay Pro seamlessly leverages all available input methods such as keyboard, mouse, touch, pen, MIDI controllers, and the new Surface Dial to give the best possible control of all of djay Pro’s.

Any green sync symbol means the playlist has already been synced to your phone; if it’s gray, it isn’t available in Offline mode.

You can also sync playlists while you’re actually in one. On the iPhone, swipe your finger across the silver Available Offline switch at the top-right of the screen to turn Offline mode on (or off). When on, the switch is green and says Yes. When off, it’s gray and says No.

A user recently asked the question:
'I DJ out of Crates, but my library is a mess and I have a loads of songs I don’t use. How can I get rid of all the tracks that aren’t in any of my Crates?'
Here's a tricky pro tip to achieve this. It's not a simple process so if you'd like help from our team before you try this out, feel free to get in touch here.
How to remove tracks from your library that are not in your crates.
- Navigate to your _Serato_ folder in your music/My Music directory on your HD and make TWO extra copies of your _Serato_ folder. Here's an example of what to name these:
_Serato_

_Serato_ (orignal)
_Serato_ (TEMP)
- Open Serato DJ.
- Open each crate, select All songs (CMD + A), and press ALT + DELETE (This deletes the tracks that are in the crate completely from the Serato DJ library, but not from the hard disk) If you use Smart Crates delete those too.
- Quit Serato DJ, make sure that 'Backup Library' is NOT checked.
- Start Serato DJ. All crates should automatically be gone, because empty crates are automatically deleted.
- The 'All…’ crate now only contains the songs you don’t want to keep.
- Create a new Crate, and call it ‘Junk'
- Go to the 'All...' Crate, select all tracks, and drag and drop them into the ‘Junk' crate.
- Close Serato DJ.
- Rename the _Serato_ folder to _Serato_ (old)
- Go into the _Serato_ (old) folder, then in the folder Subcrates and copy the file Junk.crate
- Now paste the file Junk.crate into the _Serato_(TEMP)/Subcrates folder
- Rename _Serato_ (TEMP) to _Serato_
- Start Serato DJ
- You should see your old library, but with one additional Crate “Junk', which contains exactly the tracks that you want to get rid of.
- Open the Junk Crate, select all the songs (CMD + A)
- Do one of the following;
- ALT + DELETE - these songs should now be gone from your Library (but not from your hard drive)
OR - Use CMD + SHIFT + DELETE to delete them entirely instead. WARNING, this will delete them from your hard drive too!!

The Junk Crate disappears automatically with the next start of Serato DJ because it is now empty. If all went well you can now delete _Serato_ (old) and _Serato_ (original)
