How might you move your Traktor key tags into iTunes? No key field exists in iTunes but I would use maybe a Sort Show field to store the info. I attempted to drag a group of songs in a key to iTunes and then label the sort field, but it caused duplicate songs. Any ideas?

Great, great tips here bro. Thanks a bunch
-
Thanks for the video.
I have a question though, when a load a track into a deck it says unknown format. How do a convert the format so my itunes-library becomes playable in traktor? :) -
This was great! Thanks
-
lol this is amazing.

Main issue I have with only using iTunes playlists in Traktor is Cruise (Autoplay) cannot be enabled, in case you really need a bathroom break.
Still, if you use iTunes... rather than typing into the search bar, I recommend creating smart playlists based off of your genre playlists, for 'groover', etc. -
I'm JUST getting started in the world of mixing, and this video just changed the way I was going to approach my music library COMPLETELY. I didn't own any 'music for mixing' until last week, so as my brand new music library grows. This methodology is going to be very easy and very very useful to apply. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this and give us new dj's a way to focus on playing good music instead of wrestling with an unorganized library. Respect awarded, my friend.

did you use cue points? did you keep playing from the itunes directory in the browther or did you import to collection or playlists in traktor? looking to have a good system between itunes->traktor->rekordbox (or rekordbox->traktor). did you use rekordbuddy? thanks

I am having problems playing my tracks from iTunes in Traktor. This happened as soon as I updated to the newest iTunes. I do have Apple Music. I still have older songs which I didn't get from Apple Music in my playlist and it still won't play the old tracks I had before I started with Apple Music. Do you know how or why this is happening? I didn't have this issue before. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Really appreciate this, it helped me alot. Thanks

Thanks a lot !

excellent! thanks.

question? when importing from iTunes to your collection does this duplicate the track? meaning you have one in your iTunes folder and the other in your traktor collection?
-
Thanks Jay, organising of itunes has alway been an abstract concept for me you have really put some clarity into it for me!
Do you know if i can use this same system with serato?
Cheers -
hey there,nice lesson!! really good info!how about the first initial part?before going into iTunes, where do you download your files to?what folder? how to set up the original folders on the computer?and how is it broken down?or is it just one massive music folder?please!

Excellent video! THANK YOU for your insight! I have two quick questions...
1) I can seem to locate my playlists/music folders under iTunes in Traktor so I'm forced to Load directly from designated storage folders on my HD.
2) How can I program my interface to make the Key visible on the main screen/Deck with the rest of info about the track (BPM, Remaining Time, Truck Name, Artist, Album Art etc.)
Thank you for your time! -
I magnifico the tutorial, a question, how to make the key out of traks color you? which program you use, I would be helpful, thank you very much in advance
-

Do you have any plans to do a RekordBox video update? I'd be interested to see your workflow now that you have moved to RB.
