same. i do it only when i get new tracks.
I do it before leaving for a gig.

I check consistency and import new music on every startup. It takes longer, but I know shit’s gonna work when I need it. Sometimes I will cancel both if I need to get in quick.
all the time.
I’ve found way to many songs that have been in my collection from one day to the next show up with that darn exclamition point next to it.

Quiet often though i get the “your collection is corrupt and has been renamed” blah blah message which pisses me of massively. I then go - grab the last backup - rename it open traktor again and all is well.
This exercise wastes a lot of time.
Would be so much better if they gave a bit more information as to what it was having a problem with so it can be rectified.
