Nope, Weird.. I'm rating them in Traktor, and they' not showing up in Itunes (didn't really expect them to)

But when i rate them in Itunes they still don't show up in traktor..

I think Traktor isn't writing attaching it's info to the mp3 files sometimes. Weird..

nelly

Hmm, I dont know if iTunes uses a different kind of system, but Traktor just reads and writes ID3 tags. If you make a change to the rating in Traktor there is a WRITE TAGS button that finalizes the decision. Other than that, I'd guess iTunes uses a different system. (Sorry, not an iTunes user).

What?

after rating in itunes if you "re-analyze" the tracks by selecting them and hitting "command + i" and then hitting enter (don't hit anything else) on the screen that pops up, that will "re-write/re-analyze" the id3 tags i believe... try that and see if they then show up in traktor?

Hmmm cheer for the comments lads but tried that and it didn't work.

they must write files differently.

Either way, i've never bothered rating my tracks but i have to say it's probably one of the most useful things i've ever done.

Especially when you're on a digital system. It's really easy to get lost in lists and lists of mp3's.

I just want to hope that these mp3's are actually retaining this info (eg, if i were to reinstall traktor, i'd hope they would recognise the rating)

I know traktor writes to the id3 tag but i've heard plenty of stories where people load their whole library back into traktor after a fresh install only that traktor doesn't recognise all the beat grids that were processed before..

Anyway...

learn to know what you want to play without scrolling no?

That's my problem there. I forget the names of older tracks, or tracks i haven't played in ages.

I have to switch genres quite often depending on the friends i play out to. I know my favourite tracks but when it comes to playing stuff i don't really know the rating on each mp3 helps loads i've found.

that's the problem with digital mixing... so much easier to carry tracks around that your choices are virtually endless.

nothing a little "homework" beforehand can't help solve i guess... just go through your music and limit it to a certain amount of tracks... kind of like a fake limitation to what you could have physically carried back in the day or something.

I try and do this but of course you will get that request which starts mixing things up. But, i do like having the option of jumping all over the shop. So sometimes narrowing down a track selection isn't the best option.

Anyway, i'm a fan of the stars
