Itunes DRM Tracks dont work in Traktor 2?

[Combo Breaker]

I'm kind of surprised that Traktor 2 isnt supporting itunes purchases? Am I doing something wrong? I can import tracks from beatport just fine, but it seems that itunes purchases cant be imported.. this really sucks

New itunes tracks should be fine, they aren't drm protected.

Old ones you'll have to convert to mp3 in itunes first. Then i delete the drm protected version

[lethal_pizzle]

Yep, iTunes tracks haven't had DRM for few years now

I have no problems using iTunes tracks. Exactly what is happening for you? Explain your work flow a little so we an see if you are doing something wrong.

Sorry for the delay, damnit, i got a bunch of tracks i can't find on my other legal sites on itunes, I NEED THEM! I just dont understand why its not working..

I'm running the latest version of itunes, traktor

1- opened up itunes
2- bought princess of china by coldplay and Rihana for 1.29
3- the track shows up in my itunes lib
4- I open up traktor 2
5- I click on the itunes collection tab in traktor
6- the tine shows up and is there
7- i right click on it, i see 3 options; i do "import to collection"
8 - i select the "track collection tab, i see the track with cover art"
9- if I do "analyse (async), it doesnt do anything at all in the status bar, then if i do detect bpm, it says "could not dertermine bpm because track blablabla has never been been analyzed"

This is beyond unfuriating, I got like 150$ worth of tracks buying on itunes and this wont work at all

I'm on a laptop running vista.


UPDATE - WHAT IT THIS? I redownloaded the track on my imac desktop, and the same procedure worked perfectly.. I'm able to add the tracks with no problems on the imac.

What happens if you just load the track into a deck?

[Combo Breaker]

"the track blablabla" could not be played due to a missing or corrupted file, unsupported format or drm protection

[Alex Wild]

I doubt its drm if you just bought it. They havn't used drm for ages.
I reckon its something to do with your folder structure. Make sure everything in traktor is pointing to the right folders.
I had a track that wouldnt load yesterday because I edited the name in itunes after id imported. It caused there to be 2 files showing in traktor, the original which wouldnt play because it was looking for a file name that didnt exist, and the new one which worked fine. Just deleted the old one from collection.

Does this sound familiar?

[Alex Wild]

Also, when you first hit import to collection did it show anything working in the status bar?

[Combo Breaker]

nope, its like it did nothing at all.

Its weird because it works fine with my beatport mp3s.
