latest version of itunes causing problems

[fullenglishpint]

I managed to accidentally destroy my entire music organisation system the other day using beatunes.

donning my fireproof vest as i say this but windows media player has the best meta data editor of all the media managers i've tried. i wish traktor could read its library.

maybe iTunes/previous iTunes libraries? and delete the old ones??
not to sure tho

iTunes rant:
I wish iTunes would properly write id3 tags. I'm sick of changing something in iTunes then loading it in traktor and something different pops up.. then iTunes reads that and changes it back. For example I change my comments to the Key and A LOT of times it changes back sometime by the time it reaches tractor.. and the sometimes that changes iTunes and sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it would bother me that much but how it works is just TOO inconsistent. It only does certain things in certain ways sometimes!
and also with albums too.. I don't care what album the track is from so I just change them all to blank.. I load it into traktor with a blank album and a few days later iTunes manages to change its album back, so then traktor can't find it, because for some reason the only way to consolidate iTunes is artists/ablum/track which is ABSOLUTELY stupid.

That sucks!

That sucks!

yurp. I had my entire DJ set separately stored on my SSD but a lot of the tunes were duplicated in my iTunes library, so when I used beatunes to tidy everything up I stupidly didn't realise it would delete most of my DJ set. I still have the music but I'm going to have to reorganise everything from scratch

Hi,
I believe i have some kind of similar problem:
Since like 2 weeks ago Traktor can't show the most recent version of my Itunes LIbrary!
Usually its enought to right-click refresh on Itunes in Traktor, to see Tracks that i just added, but now the most recent tracks are the ones that i added two weeks ago! ( In traktor - itunes works pefectly)
Ok i don't know any aproach to fix it!
Itunes is on the latest version and Traktor is running on 2.0.1 !!
ehm HElp????

Cheers

Is Traktor pointing to the correct iTunes folder in preferences?

I know your steez. Same thing happens for me quite regularly (but in an unpredictable kind of way). But I sort my "crate" playlists by key and then consolidate - so it's qickly changed back. Still annoying though.

Thank you photojojo!
I checked that and somehow my itunes library was pointing to an older itunes xml file!
now everything is perfect!
Thanks for the hint!
