Making Traktor update my iTunes BMP tag

I’ve got a little problem…

Yesterday I imported a bunch of new music from iTunes into Traktor, I had it all analyzed and everything seemed wel…
Yet when I look through Traktor in my iTunes library all the BPMs are showing as 0.00
When I load the track in a deck it does show the real BPM though.

So what did I do wrong? And how do I fix this? D:

So when Traktor changes the BPM metadata in an audio file, itunes will still read from it’s library file which didn’t have that info. If you go back to itunes and “play” just a few seconds of each track, it will show the BPM metadata.

Thanks for the info :slight_smile:
I’m gonna try it out now

Or just select the tracks in iTunes, do ‘Get Info’ then cancel. This forces iTunes to read the tags.

I knew there was another way to “jiggle the handle”

This isn’t working for me, the BPM still won’t show :disappointed:
Any more suggestions? :confused:

Edit: Some research has shown me that Traktor isn’t writing the BPM in id3 tags, is there a way to force this?

What format are you using? For AIFF, if a song is analyzed by Traktor the bpm isn’t written into the ID3 field. WAV has no tags for it to be written into.

Traktor does not use the BPM ID3 tag. Mainly because the BPM ID3 standard is a round integer and Traktor needs to be more accurate than that, so it uses a custom tag instead.
