Yes, players are fine in a regular post, it's just in signatures that they're frowned on.

@lethal and @procrastinator, thanks for the responses. Really appreciated.
I searched google with this error message and landed on a NI forum where this issue was being discussed. Really crazy solution but it worked for me. One of the guys said that he removed all the little Japanese/ Chinese and little square signs found at the end of an artist's name in iTunes and the problem will be sorted.
I did that now and hey presto! My iTunes is opening up in Traktor again.
One of the guys said that apparently Traktor doesn't recognize the funny characters when it tries to open iTunes.
Thanks again
How did you find all the songs that had the offending characters?
When downloading a track, a very small few of them have a funny character after the artist's name. When pulling it into iTunes, you'll see it clearly. It's often a little square or a Japanese/Chinese symbol.
All I did was edit the track artist and deleted the symbol.
Sometimes people have problems with those being in fields that aren't visible. I thought maybe you had found an easy way to find those. Guess you got lucky in that they were all in the visible field.
Yes, I think I was just lucky, there weren't many. Some of those tracks I edited via right clicking on the track, selecting "info" and then selecting "info" again. You see more fields this way. I'm glad that I know this know to prevent headaches in the future.
you can use http://work.teamgeist-media.de/201108_traktorhelper/ to analyse your itunes library and find the bad japanese symbols!
I have had the exact same problem with trying to access itunes library. I watch a video from 'Dubspot' on here about organising you're tunes and I thought it was a great way of doing it so I spent all day yesterday creating folders and smart playlists. Finally tried to test it all out in Traktor and I get that message "Warning: Unknown exception during iTunes import" :mad::mad::mad:
Seriously, I have moved over from M-Audio's Torq/Xponent to Traktor and the trouble I am have organising my track through this software has made me wish I hadn't :(
As far as i know your gadget may have developed a malfunction. I suggest you consult the maker so that the fault can be rectified.
