    Default Smart Playlists & Cover-arts in Traktor - How?

    I love the idea of creating smart playlists with Itunes,
    But I like to see my cover-arts aswell in Traktor.
    Is there a way to tackle this issue somehow?

    In short the answer is... Trainspotter!

    The longer answer:

    PROS:
    - Smart playlists WITH Cover-arts for Traktor!
    - Dynamic: when u delete or change stuff within Traktor on the playlist, it will be automatically changed in Trainspotter (and viceversa)

    CONS:
    - Cover-arts does show up in Traktor, tho it doesnt in Trainspotter, when u imported cover-arts within Traktor on files.
    - Not able to find pictures thru discogs automatically, nor Beatport.
    - U have to close down the playlists and the collection file manually, otherwise Trainspotter won't close.
    - Overall feeling of the program is a bit sluggish.

    CONCLUSION:
    If you are looking for a way to create smart dynamic playlists within Traktor while still keeping your favorite cover-arts to show up, this is your remedy!

    Used version: Trainspotter v2.3.10 - Used OS: Windows 7 64-bit
    Website: http://www.tspotter.net/download
    Be sure to read the info there, because u need to download a JAVA JDK depending on your operating system, and some more.
