Can anyone help with this? I can't understand why there's a difference in the number of tracks. It makes me not trust the whole smart playlist thing, this is the first time I've attempted to use iTunes to organise my files for Traktor.
1579 tracks imported to 'DJ Tunes' playlist.
Smart Playlist titled 'All' only has the rule "Playlist is DJ Tunes" so should contain the exact same as the 'DJ Tunes' playlist but it only has 1571 tracks. Any ideas? What has happened to the other 8 tracks? I worry that this problem is only going to get worse as the amount of tunes is multiplied by about 10.
Your right if that’s the criteria then it should be pulling the same thing.
I am unable to see the screenshots because I am at work. (firewall ) Have you been able to determine which of the tracks are missing? Or at least one to look at and compare?
Once I get home from work to take a peek at your screenshots maybe I will see something I'm not getting now. Off at 7PM CST
The screenshots are just showing what I've described anyway. They're really just proof that I haven't done something stupid lol. I'll have a look just now & see if I can figure out what tracks it's missing.
I think I've figured it out. All it seems to be doing is not pulling duplicates across, which is fine. Now I feel stupid haha.
Agree, I've been putting a lot of hours into the star rating but am having difficulty with it achieving any real meaning. Having tracks from chiller genres like deep house, and songs from intense genres like Drum and Bass...
To others using the star rating...is the stars relative to your entire collection, genre, other? Because right now all my deep house tracks being the less intense genre I play would get 1 stars I guess??
I think you'd definitely need to do it relative to genre, otherwise what's the point? Tag all my chillout tracks as 1 star? Why bother?
Btw - Thanks for this thread OP, I've been meaning to sort out my tunes properly for ages. This seems to be working quite well so far.
Good to hear. I was really racking my brain on it too because I've never seen it not work. (always user error on my part if its not working)
Yeah I'm still playing around with stars because I have run into this issue as well. I want to use them because the more information I can get from a track at a glance the better.
I've been toying around with maybe doing like 1-Warmup / 3-Peak / 5-Closer for their respective genres.
So my chill list will still have star ratings throughout as just a reference point for where a track might fit through out a set.
Does anyone else have any good ideas for an effective way to use star ratings? Or should I just give up on that idea now? lol
Star rating would have to go hand in hand with genre - like ad357 said.
A 5* jungle tune will not mix well with a 5* ambient tune...
