    Default load selected itunes track into traktor

    so,

    say i have itunes and traktor running on the same machine.

    they both have the same library with all the files in the same location.

    is there any way to load the current selected track in itunes into a traktor deck?

    thanks, james.

    well, on windows you can just drag the track from iTunes into an empty deck on Traktor. Besides that, you can just load your whole iTunes library in Traktor in the track browser on the left...

    I usually just click on the iTunes menu in traktor, search for song, load it into the deck.
    nope.

    the thing is... I like the visual nature of picking the next song.... so i like to select it in iTunes
    also.... i would like to load the song to Traktor deck remotely ....like with ipad
    with iPad (as a remote control...monitor clone) ...I would like to select the song in iTunes (itunes is running on the same computer that is runing Traktor).... and load it into traktor deck
    ...I'm not sure if that is possible... don't have much experience with Traktor... yet

    so I'm asking if anybody knows...if that is doable... maybe with some scripting...or something

    thank you

    I import music folders on startup so everything is already in the collection analyzed and ready to go. Pretty sure what you want to do is not possible.

    Although DJ Endo (dubspot guy) posted a picture of traktor running on an ipad a few months ago. Don't know whatever came of that.

    I was trying to do something similar, on windows xp I was trying to find a way of using buttons (keyboard or MIDI controller) to load an iTunes selection into whichever traktor deck I chose.
    I found a way, although I don't know how useful it will be to you.
    There's a program called macro express where you can record mouse moves and clicks, then play them back at various speed using hot keys.
    So now, when I click ALT + < the mouse clicks on the track in iTunes, drags it to deck A, let's go, then returns to the track under the album art flow.
    It took a while to get the speed of deck A and B loading using this, since if its too quick, traktor does not recognize the drag and drop action.

    Erm, why is selecting a track in iTunes 'more visual'?

    You can turn the cover art on in Traktor you know ...
