What Is the Best Way To Organize my Traktor Into Playlists With Out Any Trouble
What Is the Best Way To Organize my Traktor Music Into Playlists With Out Any Trouble at all.
Mecause Im Pulling Hair Out Trying To Organize my Traktor Music Into 5 Playlists.
DubStep Drum, Drum And Base, Latin, Hiphop Trap Rap R&B EXT…, Electro House Trance Dance Pop EXT…, Remixes
Just label your songs appropriately by genre and star rating and then when making a set make a playlist for it.
thank but i need help
Go into search mode so you take up as much of your screen as possible. Then sort by artist or BPM and go down the list. You’ll probably notice lots of the same genres near each other. Then just highlight the ones in the same category and do a bulk edit for all of them. I usually use the Genre field for stuff like this.
Why not sort by genre and add to playlist? It’s not Rocket Surgery. 
I mean what I said was helping him… Theres not much else you can do.
first: seperate your listening music and your DJ music
There’s a difference?
thank but my listening music and your DJ music are the same 4 some exception that i don’t the hip-hop my i make
The best way to do this, and a way which will ensure little ongoing effort is to use iTunes smart playlists.
To do what you’re asking, create 5 Smart Playlists.
HOUSE: Genre = House
TRANCE: Genre = Trance
RAP: Genre = Rap
These will autopopulate with all of the tracks that match the criteria you set, and as long as you make sure to keep your Genres tagged correctly they’ll stay up to date.
You can open iTunes playlists directly in Traktor. Once you get your genre playlists down, you can use smart playlists to do all sorts of things. Pretty much any attribute you can think of can be used as a rule in them (star rating, things in the comments field, import date, etc.), and if you get them set up how you like whenever you import a new song into iTunes it’ll filter into all of the playlists you want it in.
Peace
i now but i’m saving hard drive space 4 reason 6.5 and reason 6.5 the rack extensions, photoshop web development, my music on an external 500GB hard drive.
some people use itunes which i hate!
best way is by using tags…
i find serato’s creates (and smart creates much better) traktor needs something similar
one more time?
All of my Beatles, Kings of Leon, Too Short, Tupac etc…are stored in a different place than my thousands of DJ tunes…
WTF…thats not dj’ing music? Aside from kings of leon I spin all that. Or am I confused?
Most people here spin electronic music.
You are just mistaken In thinking that post was in any way related to you. It’s an example of what music Keithace listens to and dj’s with. It’s obviously not a universal rule!!
Back on topic… I would advocate using iTunes. Does a lot of the hard work for you. Failing that just tag everything and then sort in traktor via the genre column and then drag each genre into its own specific playlist. None of this is too tricky.
All my music is in iTunes. Just drag and drop into your collection.
Close and remove this thread
All of these threads are dead and buried!!! Why are you bumping them???
Exactly. Music that is likely to be actively mixed goes in Traktor, music that is likely to be background playlists goes in Itunes.
This way it keeps both libraries focussed.
