Preparing your media collection

Before you load your media collection into OtsTurntables we recommend that you spend some time preparing your collection.

Note: To play MP3 or Wave files in OtsTurntables they must have a Sample Rate of 44,100Hz, which is the present industry standard. The Bit Rate can be any bit rate including Variable Bit Rate.

How to prepare your MP3 files

OtsTurntables uses the MP3 filename for labelling purposes. We recommend that you make sure your MP3 files follow the standard naming convention, which is Artist - Title.mp3.

How to prepare your Wave files

OtsTurntables will retrieve the Wave filename for labelling purposes. We recommend that you make sure your Wave filenames follow the standard naming convention, which is Artist - Title.wav.
