**missing/broken playlists**

Hello all. Traktor noob here.

Just wondering why my playlists have a red x on them and I cant use them or remove them? Is there a way to sort it?

Thanks

Ash

Which version of Traktor you using mate.  
Where are the playlists?  
Are they Traktor Playlists?  
Have you moved the playlists to another folder or subfolder.

If you move them the favourites lose the path to them and then you get the Red X.  
If the playlists are still there you just need to drag them back onto the Favourite Slots.

Ahh, I see. You also need something in it before you can rename it.

Traktor pro.

I’m using the traktor playlists. When I make a new playlist in the place of an old one it puts the playlist in the history folder. is that normal?

Got it now. Cheers for that

**Easiest Fix**

Go to root folder called “Playlist” it’s on the left hand side where all folders are. Right click it and select create new playlist and bam there is a new one in the playlist folder drag to the red x and bam no red x.
