Moving towards Wav files → Traktor question.
Right!
I am planning to purchase three 1-terabyte hard drives this week and, use solely wav files.
The audible difference is significant enough for me to go through such a transition.
Traktor appears to offer a warning sign indicating tags cannot be found in wav files. How would I go about disconnecting the warning prompt every time I load a wav file?
Cheers!
If traktor supports flac or aiff you could try those. They are too uncompressed formats so there shouldn’t be a big difference between those 3.

I don’t have a need for tags so disconnecting the warning signal would be a more logical solution than making tags.
Alright, I’m afraid I have no idea how to disable the warning message :\ Sorry.
you can disable the warning bar in settings
Preference’s>Browser details and just then untick it.
Nice One!
Kosti sorry for irrelevant quote, but are you fom Greece?
Yup
FLACs are a better option probably
I use FLAC in Traktor mostly. Some of my older stuff in mp3 still. FLAC is lossless so just as good as WAV, plus FLACs support tags, which is better surely for displaying the track data in traktor? I use EAC (exact audio copy) to generate the FLACs from the WAVs. Simple as pie.
there was a thread that went into lossless formats way deep not long ago… The bottom line was to use Flac for PCs and aiff for macs, although aiff has good results on PC as well. Hope that helps.
VERY interesting!
but.. its your preference! 
I’d save the money and buy properly produced 320s
I play out in large events using my own sound system. So, the goal is good un-compressed dynamics. Hard drives are very inexpensive these days to settle for compressed mp3 files.

Yes. Mixing & Mastering does make a difference. Fortunately I have been recording and mastering for the past 15 years using Samplitude. I have a full understanding on what is needed to ensure the best audio quality.
Basically I will be transferring vinyl to a digital format using 88.2 kHz 24-bit wav formats. The difference between 96 kHz versus 88.2 kHz is not noticeable enough to record @ 96 kHz.
I am “Old School” so, I don’t require tags, cover arts and, all those other perks aimed around mp3s.
Why not Flac? Wav & AIFF is the standard in the professional audio world. DAWs default settings are always Wav for PC users. I don’t see any benefit recording with Flac other than hard drive space savings. I’ve purchased “3” one-terabyte drives. I don’t see myself running out of hard drive space with three terabytes at my disposal.
I might add I use a desktop so everything is stored in the computer which stays in an ATA rack. I’ve waited years for the prices to drop on one-terabyte hard drives to make this transition and leave mp3s for good.
Cheers!
I’m old skool too. Almost all my records had cover art 
I own lots of 12-inch dance versions so a White Label with an artist name and song title written with a pen is artistic as it gets.
Yeah I got plenty o White labels too. Dismissing artworks connection to music labels as some fandangled gimmick for mp3s is odd.
When mixing spontaneously in a dark club I find artwork helpful. As I did with vinyl… Something uninspiring about lists of words for me.
Artworks a valid tool IMO
It may seem odd for your requirements, but not for my requirements. It is no different than someone choosing to use an mp3 over a wav file. People choose what is best for their needs. Only the indecisive will find them selves struggling on which direction to take. Being indecisive is just not one of my traits.

DJs differ greatly. My main concern is the name of the artist and the song title. I get inspiration being surrounded by a very hyper crowd and interacting with them.
Just because we are DJs doesn’t mean our needs will be the same.
Cheers!
Very nice! That makes sense! Best of luck!
