Sort by Key

What is Key?

The key of a song refers to the pitch class that serves as the tonal center of a piece of music.

The key of a piece of music is a fundamental element that indicates the central pitch around which the composition is structured. It determines the set of pitches that are most often used in the piece and gives a sense of tonal stability, making certain notes sound more resolved or "at rest" compared to others.

Why would you want to sort by key?

Sorting by key helps you organize songs with similar tonal characteristics, making it easier to create playlists that have a cohesive sound or to find tracks that blend well with each other. It provides a way to understand and categorize your music collection based on musical structure.
