There's no way this can be DRM, iTunes quite doing that years ago. Where do you have iTunes set to store music? In the iTunes preferences pane select advance and it will tell you the file path there. When you buy a song from Beatport, where does it go? Check in Traktor preferences where it's set to pull music from. In iTunes you can convert it to an mp3 with absolutely no DRM, by right clicking and selecting convert to mp3. Check that 320k mp3 is selected in import options in iTunes.
well I'll be damned. You were close! This is what I had to do, for reference's sake:
Tunes > preferences > general. click on import settings, then import using and select MP3 encoder. below, select the desired bit rate.
next, highlight the files to be converted in iTunes and choose create MP3 version from the advanced menu.
Great, at least we're making progress, but I haven't had to convert iTunes AAC files to mp3 since version 1.24 I think. There were bugs with playback of AAC files, but they still found them and loaded into the deck fine. I still think you have an underlying problem with where or how you store your music.
Download a DRM remover like "Drm Removal" it worked for me. easy and fast...
So after an searching the last couple days, this is the closest to the problem I'm having. Out of the blue (I'm sure it is something I did not knowing) all my tracks that are in iTunes won't load in decks in traktor. I get the typical error message about location, corrupt, drm, etc. I'm hoping someone knows what I may have done to cause this so I can reverse it without duplicating all my files as mp3's like stated above. There has to be a setting somewhere or something I accidentally clicked that can be clicked again and have everything work. It is just songs that I have downloaded from iTunes. Either playing directly from iTunes in traktor or from my collection. Any help would be great. My axiom just gave me a blue screen of death and now this. I'm getting pretty frustrated. It may be time to "office space" my computer.
You probably have your collection as the folder all your main downloads go into, not the itunes main music folder.Quote:

Makes me think it has to do with iTunes more than traktor. Maybe it's a sign that I need to focus more on Ableton. I'll double check tomorrow but I believe all tracks work in ableton.
