    Default How do you refresh saved playlists?

    When I started using Traktor, someone on this board mentioned that the BPM info won't save unless you import your playlists, but whenever you make changes to the playlist, there doesn't seem to be a "refresh", option.

    The only thing I've been able to do is delete the playlist, and re-import. The problem with this is that the bigger the playlist gets, the longer it takes to import.

    Does anyone know a workaround for this?

    ive never noticed that the bpm info doesnt change

    in fact, EVERYTHING i do is in playlists, including gridding.

    i would guess that by 'refresh' they either meant go to a new playlist, then come back. or close/open traktor

    Try 'check consistency'.

    Are you talking about iTunes playlists? Traktor Always works best if you work out of the collection.

    Sorry I should have been more descriptive.

    When I said "Playlists", I meant iTunes playlists.

    I use iTunes playlists for everything Traktor related. Problem is, when you go into the root directoy on the left side of the Traktor User Interface, and go to your iTunes playlists, it doesn't display saved BPM info for some tracks, even though I updated the ID3 tags and analyzed the tracks. Someone on this board told me that you need to "Import Playlist" in order to have all the BPM data save properly to each track. The issue with this is that none of the tracks I to the aforementioned playlists show up in the "imported playlist" directory. The only way to see the added tracks is to delete the playlist, and then "import playlist" again. The issue with this is that it takes hours to analyze once I've imported again.

    The collection has the same issue. A bunch of my tracks have the BPM displayed as "000.00" despite the fact that it displays properly in my imported playlists.

    I set the BPM in iTunes, this way I know it works in Traktor (and other apps/tools/whatever.)

    Let Traktor set the BPM and then then go back to itunes and play each track, just for a second, and it'll update the metadata for the BPM.

    You can also select a bunch of tracks and put a space in one of the metadata fields. Hit okay and it will update all the tracks. You can get rid of the space if you want.

    This is the way to refresh your collection(s).

    Update: Totally skipped OP's second post. Only the Key info doesn't show up for me in iTunes playlists in Traktor. Always have to import into collection for it to show. (has to do with ID3 field Traktor uses for Key column)
