Help! iTunes Recently Added playlist not updating in Traktor
I’ve just moved my iTunes music along with the library file to a bigger HD, and all went smoothly However, since importing new music to iTunes today and trying to find it in Traktor it hasn’t appeared.
I looked in the manual, relocated all my files that I transferred, changed the iTunes Music library location in Traktor to where the file is now found and added the iTunes Music folder into the list of music folders. All with no luck.
ok, yeah it may take a while for traktor to re-examine the library if you have a lot of music.
Also, the reason i ask about following the steps on the website is, for example, this quote from it:
After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don’t remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder. For more information about the iTunes library files, see this article.
I’m just thinking if you have mucked about with the location of the “library” file that’s what may have caused drama.
If it helps anyone at all I just added an older track from iTunes and it instantly said I need to relocate it, is this because my root directory is not in the same place as my iTunes library like it was before the move?
What are the paths to your :
Root Dir
iTunes Music Directory
Music Folders
This sounds like Traktor is not finding the music folders.
If you have a large collection it will take a long time to relocate.
What are you actually seeing mate.
Have you imported your Traktor collection.nml
Are your tracks present in the collection or do they show ‘!’ against them.
Did you change the path to your iTunes library within iTunes itself ?
Root Directory is C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\Native Instruments\Traktor
iTunes Music Directory D:\Media Library\iTunes\ITunes Music Library
(these both have “…!” in the button next to them in Traktor prefs, is that normal?)
Music Folder is C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\My Music\Chart Stuff (stuff I don’t want in my iTunes)
(Does that need to include iTunes folder? I did have the Music sub-folder from the iTunes Media folder in there but trying to figure out why everything wasn’t working I took it out.)
I never touched Traktor Collection.nml so I assumed it would still be there.
When I first opened Traktor my collection all had ! against them, yes. However, I selected all and relocated to the Music folder in the iTunes Media folder on D:.
I have also made sure iTunes is using the iTunes Library in the new iTunes folder by holding shift when I opened iTunes after the move…
No, it’s all on the same drive… drive D: under Media Library\iTunes
Just the stuff I don’t want to have in my iTunes is on C: still, should i move this to D: and then make my Music folder encompass the whole Media Library folder?
So, now I’ve moved the Chart Stuff folder to the Media Library in D: and added that along with the iTunes folder to music folders, no notable difference… refreshed Recently Played playlist in traktor, but is taking a long time again… I’ll let you know.
Yeah, i do have most in… just not the crap pop (which I don’t have a lot of), I’ll put it in, doubt it’ll make any difference…it always worked before I moved the iTunes library.
Traktor is still “loading” the recently added playlist…
Right, so I’ve reinstalled traktor to no avail and just tried changing my tsi to the original custom vci layout from djtt, that changed the layout of traktor but didn’t do anything to solve the problem to I reverted to my tsi, but, when i did it i was told that traktor has to restart because the root dir is different (i checked if it is different but it isn’t) why is that?
