Using starring method. Go to another folder, go back and not in order.
I use the stars to label my opening/warm up tracks. In case anyone is interested, zero stars is very very mellow, nothing to them very early doors 116bpm style stuff (I play house/techno) and 5 is kinda midnight 1am kinda stuff.
If I go into “warm up 1 folder” and arrange tunes by what star I have given them and then go to “warm up 2 folder” and back to “warm up 1 folder”, then they are not in star order anymore.
This does not happen in the latest version of Traktor, I cannot reproduce it.
You should not need to consolidate to keep a playlist in order in the same session but it should make them permanently arranged.
Login to the NI Support website and the 2.6.7 installer will be in your Personal Update section (login required).
Service Centre may need reinstalling. 99.9% of all issues with SC can be solved by simply reinstalling it even if you have the latest version.
Cool. You will have copied your 2.6.3 installation so you skipped the troublesome 2.6.6 version.
You only need to use Consolidate if you want to change the original order of a playlist and then make that the default order.
I have never used it. I sort my playlists by BPM, Genre and Play Count but I always return them to the original order by clicking on the number order.
NI removed the Playlist Lock in TP1 and everyone hated it but I prefer the current way.
Another question about this. Let say I’ve given a track 3 stars (not using a playlist), I then append it to a playlist of my choice, is there anyway for the star rating to go along with that? At the moment, im finding its not and have to re-star everything again.
Have you unloaded the track from a deck and saved the collection? Traktor needs to update tags before ratings are stored but yeah, they should stay with the track no matter where you put them in your playlists.
I just tried giving a star rating to an unrated track, moved it to a playlist…rating was still there.
Closed Traktor, opened Traktor…rating is still there.
Saying that, theres a handful of tracks which its not copying the star rating to the playlist. Have tested multiple times, deleting playlist, starting again etc. Replicate it every time.
I am loading 3 tracks into Traktor (the 4th is just looping with the volume off to ensure all new tracks I import are playing at same BPM). Listening, giving it a rating. Then loading 3 more in, etc. I’m then highlighting all and clicking ‘append to playlist’.
I go into playlist, its randomly not carrying the star over for a handful of tracks.
Im not going through other folders (since I’ve discovered this wonderful thing called playlists courtesy of yourself!) and appending to playlist, but these arent carrying the stars either.
Hmm, I dunno cus it’s working here. Are you in the Traktor browser? You’re not in the iTunes browser..?
Also, what file formats are you using? Are they all the same? If you are using wavs they take sometime for Traktor to update as Traktor makes a temporary copy of the file and eventually renames the temp copy but this can take a while.
