Hey all!!!
This is a big undertaking so I want to do it right. I want to rebuild my iTunes/DJ Library to future proof it as to avoid this in the future. For a long time I have been using .ALAC files and as you may or may not know Traktor no longer supports .ALAC so I am going to switch to 100% 320k MP3's. They are the perfect mix of compatibility, quality and tagability for DJ'ing with. So what my plan is so far is like this.
I copy all the raw music files from iTunes to an external drive sans file structure so it's just the files. I then delete all the tunes from iTunes. Then I convert all the files on the external to 320k MP3's. Then I re-import the music to iTunes and rebuild Traktor from there.
So my questions are:
How do I make Traktor forget those songs were ever there?
Should I let iTunes sort all my music or do it myself in a master folder? I've heard strong arguments for keeping it all in one place and I think I'd like it that way but I'd love some opinions.
Is mixed in key worthwhile? I'm thinking of switching to that for analyzation instead of Traktor.
Thanks in advance!
