I found this:
force Tractor Pro to reload the metadata from your tags
It supposedly erases the date modified properties in your nml file which tricks Traktor into refreshing ID3 info.
At first It didn't seem to work for me. However, I've discovered more recently after manually upgrading to 2.7.1 that it does update the cover art, which has been handy.
I wrote an applescript to run it
Instructions:
- Download textwrangler
- Download this file Traktor ID3 refresher.zip
- Unzip and open Traktor ID3 refresh.applescript file in applescript editor.
- Edit the variable named "NmlLocation". This is where you need to put the location of your collections.nml.
- it's in the first line which i've highlighted in pink below.
- This needs to use colons instead of a slash(unix path) to separate the directories.
- Also, don't forgot that this has to change when you upgrade from 2.xx to 2.xx because when traktor upgrades,it keeps versions side by side in your native instruments folder.
- backup nml file (very important!!!!)
- compile ( this makes sure it it doesn't have any errors)
- Run the script
images-forest.jpg- open Traktor (it should say it's updating on the status bar
keep this around just in case you manually upgrade like i do. I have yet to get service center to upgrade Traktor
I hope this works for someoneCode:set NmlLocation to "Users:usernameXXX:Music:Native Instruments:Traktor 2.7.1:collection.nml" -- change the location here tell application "TextWrangler" to activate tell application "TextWrangler" open NmlLocation tell application "TextWrangler" to replace "MODIFIED_DATE=\"[^\"]*\" MODIFIED_TIME=\"[^\"]*\"" using "" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} save document 1 to NmlLocation quit end tell
REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR NML FILE!!!
Disclaimer:
It didn't mess up anything for me but that doesn't mean it won't for you. Use at your own risk. Don't blame me if it doesn't work or messes anything up for you.
