    I forgot to mention that I have Windows 7, if that helps at all.

    When I backed up the folders from the hard drive that failed to the backup one, it grouped all the folders into a master folder called ‘local disk’. However, inside of that folder, the file structure that Traktor would have seen it under (i.e. the folders they came from) is the exact same.

    I don’t know if perhaps I should drag all the folders out of the local disk master folder, and put them all independently in the drive as separate folders. Maybe then I could change the drive letter to match Traktor’s old drive letter, as was suggested to me by somebody?

    As far as i know, the trend seems to be to check the “Copy files to iTunes Media Folder” checkbox in preferences. As soon as you play a song, it gets stashed in that folder. I get songs, run them through Mixed In Key, play in iTunes to save them to my main library, and when I open Traktor, it adds any new songs from the iTunes media folder to the track collection, easy as that

    Thanks for the reply.

    I only use itunes to build playlists at the moment. I do not have any music folder configured in itunes at all. I just point the playlists, just like I do in Traktor, to the file folder that they are located in.

    And thats the beauty of it. You just check the box, iTunes can sort your entire collection by artist, then you just set Traktor to read from the overall iTunes Media File, and presto, whenever you load traktor, new songs add to the collection, plus all your crates as well

    So it’s possible to do this without actually copying all these tracks into the music folder in itunes then? Strictly the media file? Awesome.
