I'm intrigued, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get something like this set up in automater. What rules did you set up and how?

[/threadjack]

As for the OPs software idea, anything that can be read in both SSL and Traktor would be all I care

you dont use automator...i have the scripts if you want them P.M me...but first you need to make a scripts folder into the itunes directory then i new menu will appear in itunes on the top bar (file,edit,view,..,..,.., scripts) you can do it manually there by clicking it but that gets tedious...then you go into system preferences...keyboard > application shortcuts > add the scripts name and the command you want and ta-da! :D

you can do this on the PC as well!

edit: btw, I'm well up for an alternative to itunes... as long as it has windows support!

itunes stopped rewriting iD3 tags for me ever since i upgraded from 10.0 to 10.1...

nonetheless a music library that renames/retags and syncs with traktors and seratos library would be awsome... if it automated mik and pn i would be willing to pay top dollar for it...

BTW, there are ways to get iTunes to play FLAC files, do a Google search.

Yeah but it sucks IMO.

I have demand for such a program myself so I'll likely create it anyways with a similar look and feel to iTunes.

The big idea is to manage and sync Traktor and Serato-libraries from that one place. I'll start creating it with that in mind.

Maybe add a waveform? But I can't really see the point in this as Serato has an excellent one anyway.

The only thing that annoys me with iTunes is the fact that there is no search bar hotkey, so you could add one of them

wut ?

is mystery

I dont get why people need to use itunes or any program for that matter to manage playlists. I DIY in traktor itself. Its not perfect, but it works and I have no issues with tag management over several pieces of software.

Personally I hate itunes, getting an android phone allowed me to ditch itunes altogether. Never looked back. Good riddance.
