Traktor Pro 2 Tip: How To Get Custom Auto Playlists In Traktor

In today's tip for Traktor Pro 2 users, we show you how you can have custom auto playlists, even though Traktor doesn't actually contain any "smart playlist" features at all.

Smart playlists – playlists that auto-fill with tracks based on a set of rules – are a great feature of both iTunes and other DJ software, but do not feature at all in Traktor Pro 2 natively.

But you can have custom auto playlists of a sort in Traktor. This means – for instance – that you can keep warm-up, main set and backroom tracks apart, and whenever you add new tracks to your library, as long as you tag them as such, the playlists will reflect that.

It takes a little bit of work, but it’s actually really easy – so watch the video to discover how to do it.

Hopefully Traktor Pro 3, when it arrives, will bring Traktor up to speed with other DJ software – but for now, here’s a stop gap trick for you.
