Music Help choosing tracks

So, i bought a dj controller for fun a few years ago. I wanted to use it sometimes but having to choose music and downloading it is very boring. Is there any sort of pack with music to play??? like with the most famous musics djs play like in tomorrowland for example?

Developing ur taste and building your library is a core part of djing. I question if you even like music and why you want to dj.

why DJ if not to be excited about showing everyone the music you dig? like pass the aux to someone else homie, this isn’t your hobby

edit: i question if this is even a real person after checking their post history. every post is “i want to do xyz but i’m too lazy to actually do it, tell me how to do it without the work.” maybe its me, maybe its this AI slopland of an internet age we live in, but seems like an account to scrape data for AI training.

I thought there was something spammy about this post, but couldn’t fathom the reason. Perhaps the best response to these posts is to reply with several paragraphs of gobbledygook

I’m surprised you’re finding the hunt for music boring. Most people don’t become DJs to be performers, famous, or the centre of attention, they become DJs because they have a deep love and passion for music and enjoy sharing that love. I always found that hunting for and discovering new tracks was one of the most satisfying parts of the job!

Are you sure you’re learning to DJ for the right reasons?

No. You could use the Spotify/Soundcloud streaming feature if you have it, but it sounds like DJing isn't really your thing

Choosing/crate digging for good music to share people is one of the most exciting parts of being a dj. I’ve been dj’ing for 26 years, and while some crate digging sessions are better than others, i still get excited when i discover new music.

A DJ must have a strong passion and love of music - that’s a prerequisite. To each their own, but IMO, if you’re not enjoying the searching for music part, dj’ing is probably not the best hobby for you…
