Cover Art, is it good to delete it all?

[robbyluca]

Damn! Awesome! Great idea!

For the OP, no idea.

I don't use cover art when playing, it's useless for me. And everytime I open Traktor I see this red alert on the bottom saying "COVER ART: picture file size too big"

I'm kind of a noob in all this tagging stuff, so, is it a good idea to delete all the cover art from the tracks in itunes before importing to traktor? Cover art can create some kind of bug or make my searching slower?

Thanks

I also don't use cover art, I just don't find it that useful for me, so I've deleted all of mine using mp3Tag (PC only). Just import your whole directory of music, highlight all tracks (ctrl + a), right click on the cover art box, delete, and then save tags to all files. Done!!!

For those who like the win-only MP3Tag and are using MacOSX - heres a link for a MAC-Version, ready for install:

U should really re-consider using Traktor inbuild-key-detection when u read this article:
http://www.djtechtools.com/2014/01/1...-2014-edition/

The latest Mixed In Key FTW!

...But u can always alter my key-cover-arts to your likings

It's only a guide though, then use my ears to tell me what's really going on so not going to spend $60 on software that isn't perfect either (mik) when I can use my ears.

U could also delete all the covers, and use my cover-arts - like a catch-in-the-eye for the Key they're in.
Call it colorized key-code art...

I use Mixed In Key and analyse all my music 1st, before putting them into Traktor.

Then I import the tracks, do a consistency check on my collection, so the Keys of MIK show up under Key-text column.
I sort them by Key, select the keys 1 by 1, and right-click on it and import the right cover-art.

If u did it right u'll end up with a collection that looks like this:


I've made color-codes from 1A/B to 12A/B which u can use as your cover-arts, available for download here:

Mixed In Key 6 results:
"Major/Minor Triad Test: Perfect 24 out of 24 – every single key correct.
# of correctly analyzed tracks (vs human consensus): 58 (95%)"

That's close enough to Purrfect for me

Why does it say 95% though if it's perfect?
