Trainspotter Tutorial Video
I just started to use some of its basic functions but I know its a very powerful program and theres a lot more I can do with it. So I was seeing if anyone who uses it regularly would be willing to make a tutorial video I wouldn’t mind making a donation via paypal too 
anyone considering doing one?
I use it, but only to tag Beatport tracks.
What do you plan on using it for?
i think this program has some potential but not particularly user friendly, i booted it up on my MBP OSX 10.7 and it recognized my traktor collection.nml but would only show it in one window and not in the playlist area so i could select it to do a batch search on beatport/discogs mainly just trying to automate what little is left in completing all the tags and formatting stuff on my music i have all keyed and most is correct just would like album art and some artist title stuff fixed and i cant get it to work at all 
it is not as user-friendly as other apps I am used to. However, you figure it out, it is very useful. The developer is really good on reported bugs and following up with you.
what is not working when you try to update just the album art, artist, title?
thats the problem i dont know how to ive look through all the menu options and cant seem to find a logical way to do what i want…
im not able to select my collection.nml over in the playlist window on the left when u go to manage playlists or whatever so since i cant select it as it doesnt show up there only in a browser window when the prog starts up i cant point the program to update my files, i cant help but feel im missing a critical area of this program but i spent bout an hour trying to get my head around it, id like to think of myself as pretty tech savvy and all but lost on this one, i just dont think the layout works with my logic but id like to use the program as i think it will help tremendously on the tedious managment and prep side of djing so i can spend more time in the fun area … playing
what version are you using? I am had similar problems when i upgraded to the latest version 2.3.2, so I reverted back to 2.3.0.
i just went to their site this past weekend to download i dont have my MBP with me at work so ill have to double check but i probably have the latest, i know its 2.3 but not sure if its 2.3.2 or not but that could be the culprit… i hope this wont screw everything up, luckily i havent done anything in that prog
you probably have 2.3.2. You can revert to a previous version within the app, so I think you will be fine.
make a copy of your collection.nml just in case.
so im assuming if it works properly that my collection file will show up in the manage playlist bar and ill be able to right click and do batch search?
yes.
Basically I was looking for someone to do an overview of how they prep some tracks with the program since its not too user-friendly. Kind of like Ean did a while back he downloaded a song and showed how he prepped it (brought it in itunes, tagged it, dropped it in mixed in key, brought in into traktor, etc.) something with that kind of format but with trainspotter. Showing some cool features, tips, tricks etc. Cause I know it has some cool advanced tagging features which are better than itunes cause it shows in traktor. The only thing that I have used was the beatport tagging feature which worked great but I know theres a lot more it can do.
ahh, so you are actually looking for a complete workflow, from start to finish, but with Trainspotter in the mix of things.
ok just checked i have 2.3.1, its only giving me an option to install 2.3.2 not to go back to 2.3 in the program
try updating to 2.3.2 to see if it will fix it. If not, go ahead and send a message to the developer.
To go back to a previous version do the following:
On windows. click Help->About TrainspotterTwo, on OSX click TrainspotterTwo->About TrainspotterTwo
Click Installation Details
Click Installation History
Select your previous installation date
Click Revert
As papo says, post your issue to the support forum and we’ll work through it from there. It helps to keep this stuff in one place. Screenshots are very helpful at quickly locating what you’re having problems with.
In the absence of any videos (I will get round to doing some) you can check out the searchable online help system in Trainspotter, which should hopefully give you some tips on performing various tasks.
I’ve also done some remote troubleshooting session with people in the past, so if you’re still scratching your head we can arrange one of those (and maybe record it).
yes something of that nature
Thanks for the info as this was my first install of the program i didnt have anything older versions to revert back to so i just uninstalled, going to install 2.3.2 today, if i still run into issues do you have a place on your site where we can download older versions of the software, i was looking around a bit but didnt find any just found the Mac OSX link for the latest
No, I don’t generally keep older versions available for download. If someone does an update an it breaks something, they can’t rollback, they don’t have the previous zip file anywhere and they need it fixed urgently, I can rebuild whatever release was working for them, otherwise I’ll fix it and create a new update.
If you want to completely reset your Trainspotter installation, then rename your /Users//Trainspotter2 directory
can’t get my head around this software, it’s useful it doesnt even come with instructions.
