First Time Setting Up RadioDJ – What Surprised You the Most?

Hey everyone
I'm new to RadioDJ and just got everything installed this past weekend — MySQL, the database setup, importing tracks, etc. (Big thanks to the guides here, by the way!) I'm still figuring things out, but so far, I'm really impressed with how lightweight and fast the software feels compared to others I've tried.

As I'm still exploring, I thought it'd be fun to ask the community:

What surprised you the most when you first started using RadioDJ?
Was it a hidden feature, something that didn't work as expected, or maybe a workflow trick that made your life easier?

I'm trying to avoid rookie mistakes and pick up a few insights from those who've been at it longer. Any "I wish I knew this earlier" tips would also be amazing.

Looking forward to hearing your stories and learning from the community!

Cheers

I was amazed at how comprehensive it is. I've been working with it for almost three years now and I still keep discovering new features that I can use effectively. You can automate so much; I never would have thought that was possible. :cool:
