Im looking to clean up my folders on my internal and want them more organized. I do know there is a way to export actual crates and create new music folders after you export the crate. What is the proper way to do it if i am using a track on separate crates and want that track copied to other exported crates. i know if you move the file and use MOVE the Next crate will not have the file because the original file will be moved.

I cant find a video to this!

you can just click and drag he crate from serato to your desktop or anthor location and a folder with the music from that crate will be created

how does double, copy, move work. i tried copying it and it doubled all songs in my library. then i moved them and i had alot of files not found. i just want to get rid of those folders that have only a couple of songs and clean up my folders

I would not suggest using that particular feature if your wanting to move your entire library around on your hard drive.
As you've found.. this will create duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates.. depending on how many of the same file you have in various crates.
I would suggest moving your files into folders you create, outside of SSL, and then using the 'relocate lost files' feature to have SSL figure out where you moved the files.
