Cover Art in Traktor Pro
Does anyone know why i’m getting cover art showing up in the deck itself but not in the browser on Tpro?
Pretty annoying. I’ve ticked ‘show cover art’ in ‘browser details’.
It’s just my itunes library that seems to not show the art in the browser.
Thing is I use my itunes library to organise all my music playlists.
Cheers in advance for any knowledge
Nice one and happy holidays 
Not sure if this will help you mate but i’ve found that if you make sure you mp3’s are tagged with 2.4 and have either jpegs or gifs as the cover art, not bmps, you should have no problems with art not showing up.
also files that have had their covers tagged in itunes store their pictures in the itunes database and not in the mp3’s themselves.
But what is odd is that the artwork is showing up in the little thumbnail in the deck but just not in the browser tree.
So traktor is seeing the music has artwork but just not in the browser
So I have to create a playlist in traktor, ie a traktor playlist and then drag the tunes from the itunes playlist into that crate.
Then the artwork shows up in the browser as well as in the deck itself.
That’s a bit of an unnecessary ball ache no?
did you ever find a fix for this? i have the same exact problem.
Don’t think there is one… It’s a ball ache imo. But yeah i’m having to drag them in Traktor. Even more annoying is there is no duplication detection so you can’t select all and drag them in as you will get duplicates… it’s annoying
There were complaints from users that the iTunes node was slow so NI removed the ability to show Cover Art in the iTunes node.
it’s surely not as slow as having to make two sets of playlists??
I agree there should be a way to implement cover art in the itunes “node” without bringing the system to its knees.
If Serato can [now] do it, surely NI can, right? 
I actually love Traktor but hate this so much I am genuinely considering moving to Serato.
Call me lazy but this is really really really annoying. Considering all the effects etc Traktor boosts about (and with good justification) surely they can put this right?
But those iTunes playlists are limited in regard to editing of id3-tags and the likes anyways, so for me copying my iTunes playlists into Traktor is the only usable solution (even though it is somewhat annoying). What annoys me more is that Traktor won’t read those iTunes star ratings.
for those having problems with mp3 tags, try this: Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)
I had my whole music collection properly tagged before moving it to a dedicated home server. Imagine my surprise when after the move, none of the tags where there. I had used WMP to tag the collection (i know WMP sucks, but I was streaming it all to my PS3).
It appears this is still an issue in Traktor Pro 2.5?
I guess the way around this would be putting the tracks in date added order then only dragging the new ones that way?
Anyone got any new ideas?
Nevermind, I’m an idiot. Note to self. Always read first post when not drunk.
Carry on.
The OP stated that the artwork was showing in the deck but not the browser. Have you guys added “artwork” from the browser view choices? Right click(PC) or Opt Click (Mac) on the browser bar and make sure “cover art” is selected. Otherwise, I’m not sure what people are talking about.
Yeah all thats done. It just doesn’t seem to show the cover art in the browser when browsing through Itunes. Nor does it show the crate flick thing.
At the moment not a major issue for me.
Still A Problem
5 years later I still feel the pain… And, for this one simple reason, very seriously consider switching to Serato. I thought I’d give it one last effort to resolve the situation but, it seems there is not a solution if you organize your music in iTunes to get the Art to appear in the iTunes node within Traktor. I need the artwork to recognize the songs because I can’t remember all the names, but the artwork jogs my memory of the song.
