    I have this set to happen automatically every time I open Traktor. It doesn't seem to do anything except tell me the tracks that are missing.

    How do you set the BPM in iTunes?!

    This didn't work.

    I opened Traktor, opened my playlist under the root directory "iTunes" on the left hand side of the Traktor UI, then loaded a track with BPM reading "000.00" in the transport section. Then I opened iTunes and played the same track, and nothing.

    This threw me a curve...How do you put a space in the metadata field?

    I noticed that when you right click on a track and click on "get info" you can enter the BPM, but I can't conceivably do this for every single track for an entire 100 gigs of music. Also I noticed some of the tracks already have the BPM info saved in iTunes but it doesn't translate to Traktor, unless I select the option to "import playlist".

    You hit the space bar. You can hit delete right after that to get rid of the space. the idea is to make iTunes think something changed in the tracks info so it refreshes it.

    I'm a little unfamiliar with metadata.

    When I'm using iTunes, and I select "get info" that's metadata correct?

    I feel like such a tool after asking this question. What I REALLY meant was how do you change the metadata.

    But after reading this response, and looking up "metadata" I understand a little more about what it is and how it works.

    Right click on itunes playlist IN Traktor. Add to collection and analyze each track allowing Traktor to set your BPM. Fix your beatgrid(if necessary) and cue points and lock the track. Do this for the whole playlist. When you go back to itunes and play each track from the playlist, just for a second, it writes the BPM metadata into your itunes collection.

    Thanks. I'll try that out.
