Traktor "Could not read collection/playlist file"

[SupaSandeep]

I just updated Traktor & I keep getting this error, if I load any track they're file, but when I start Traktor it tries to analyze my whole library. Any idea how to fix this?Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 7.21.15 AM.jpg

What have you upgraded from?
I had same issue going to 2.6 from a pre 2.5 version.
The analasys details changed on 2.5, which was a major update, with addition of key on the tag and other updates, and therefore the file details are not compatible with the earlier versions with lesser features.

thanks! I went from 2.9 to the current 2.10

Wonder if the changes between 2.9 and 2.10 were such that it needs to re-analyze tho... weird, it's not beyond the realm of possibility tho. I have looked at the release notes for 2.10, and apparently, you don't need to reanalyse everything..

I had a similar issue, and I was able to detect the error using xmllint program and fix it.

I detailed the fix on my blog:

Hope this helps!
