exporting & importing Traktor Pro Playlists

[Audio Aerosol]

Hi All,
I have Traktor running on 2 machines. An imac for home and Macbook for gigs. I play music through my itunes library and prepare all my tracks on the imac. I then export the playlist and import it into Traktor on my Macbook. The problem I find in doing this is I have to re-locate all the tracks in the playlist after importing, which is a pain in the ass.

Is there a way around this without creating the playlist in itunes or preparing my tracks on my macbook???

thanks

Its because the paths to the tracks on the iMac are different to the paths on the Macbook pro due to the Hard Drive names etc.

Unless the paths are exactly the same you will have to relocate them.

Try exporting the iTunes Playlists instead. Then import the itunes playlist on the MBP then import from iTunes to Traktor..?

That's what I do.

But the playlists are created in Traktor not iTunes??

I play music through my itunes library and prepare all my tracks on the imac.

This bit makes it sound like you make them in iTunes dude...

Anyway... same applies just make your playlists in Traktor then make a playlist in iTunes with the same name and drag and drop the tunes from Traktor into the iTunes playlist then do as mentioned in the last thread.

I have done it this way many times. It works and theres no need for relocating

ok, so I have done the above but the cue points, load markers & grids are not appearing. I have tried exporting the track collection from my imac and importing it into my Macbook but still no joy Any ideas? thanks for your help.

Did you import the same tracks that you tagged to the MBP..?

let itunes "handle" your music on machine A
create a playlist of the music you want to export on machine A
export playlist
move the music in playlist A over to machine B, using whatever you need to do it, and put it somewhere on the desktop or something first
take the music now on machine B and drop it into the "Automatically add to itunes" folder
load playlist on machine B

profit?

This what I have done:
• Created playlist in Traktor with cue's, grids etc.
• Dragged and dropped the tracks in this playlist to a new playlist in itunes.
• Exported this playlist and imported it into itunes on my Macbook.
Next is where the problem occurs:
• I have tried, playing the tracks from the itunes playlist through Traktor and no tags have appeared.
• I have tried dragging the tracks from the itunes playlist into a Traktor playlist and no tags have appeared.
• I have tried exporting the collection from the imac and importing into my Macbook and the tags still haven't appeared.

Am I missing something?? Thanks
