Using starring method. Go to another folder, go back and not in order.

I use the stars to label my opening/warm up tracks. In case anyone is interested, zero stars is very very mellow, nothing to them very early doors 116bpm style stuff (I play house/techno) and 5 is kinda midnight 1am kinda stuff.

If I go into "warm up 1 folder" and arrange tunes by what star I have given them and then go to "warm up 2 folder" and back to "warm up 1 folder", then they are not in star order anymore.

VERY annoying.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Once you have sorted them, right click on the folder and select 'consolidate'. This should keep them in the same order.

This does not happen in the latest version of Traktor, I cannot reproduce it.
You should not need to consolidate to keep a playlist in order in the same session but it should make them permanently arranged.

What version are you on?

TSP2 2.6.3

2.6.7 is the latest, right? Nothing is coming up in the service centre =/

Login to the NI Support website and the 2.6.7 installer will be in your Personal Update section (login required).
Service Centre may need reinstalling. 99.9% of all issues with SC can be solved by simply reinstalling it even if you have the latest version.

Reinstalled SC, no difference.
Downloaded TP2 2.6.7 and re-installing. Havent uninstalled TSP2 yet.

Is that what you mean?

**Mr_Moo** · 02-10-2014, 10:01 PM

OK, all sorted =)

BUT, I'm a bit lost with this consolidate button =/

I've used Traktor for 6/7 years and I thought I knew a lot about it, haha.

Cool. You will have copied your 2.6.3 installation so you skipped the troublesome 2.6.6 version.

You only need to use Consolidate if you want to change the original order of a playlist and then make that the default order.
I have never used it. I sort my playlists by BPM, Genre and Play Count but I always return them to the original order by clicking on the number order.

NI removed the Playlist Lock in TP1 and everyone hated it but I prefer the current way.
