![]() ![]() ![]() I could probably go in the script and hardcode it, but I figure this might be useful for other users who have network stored music, which makes the path different from what itunes/mediamonkey see. I would think this could be easy to do, since MM stores the drive and path separately. I have to replace the //sauron with /data While it's not difficult to do a find/replace, its an additional step I have to stop and do any time I want to update the xml for plex. Ok for the feature request, I would like to suggest an option to modify the path (or more specifically, the drive) of the exported files.įor example, mediamonkey and itunes runs on windows, and the music files are on a network server. So there is actually 2 problems, 1 with the export script, and 1 with the plex import. I raise this issue, due to the import to plex, it imports this invalid play date of the past, into the FUTURE in plex's database. I confirmed in mediamonkey that there is no play date, and no play counts. Here is the script generated from mediamonkey for the same unplayed track (added dates will be different), with an invalid play date that is obviously in the past. If you see value in Multi-value & custom-tag support, make sure you write a ticket/support request to NI/Serato/Pioneer. not ideal at all, but at least I have access to the metadata that way. so I then, once I found the file/s I am after I then need to search them by name in RB/SDJ/Traktor again. what RB/SDJ/Traktor library management should be like. But, I do not drag or use MB for anything else but searching (which in turn uses its own internal metadata database, not relying on file reads which is vital here.). usually every 1-2 weeks.Īs for complex / multi facet searches - yes, diving into & using MB for that is your only chance there. :/ ) that transfer to the xml, with sorting/grouping t1hat makes most sense to me, which come from MB and get autopopulated there and pushed to an itunes xml on a per need basis, i.e. I have a fair few smart playlists (around 50+. On the other hand, if you ONLY have mp3 files, you should be fine to use the MusicBee generated iTunes xml lib. and I have not used my Traktor gear or software in ~2 years. but for me this was the straw that broke the camels back. Whereas in Traktor/Serato/RB natively, none of this is possible - and having quick access to our tracks should be the second most important thing to get right (after stability).īut, due to not many people complaining about this known bug, this is a low priority bug for NI as confirmed. I have multi value metadata fields for Instruments, Instrumentals/Riddims, Genres, Subgenres, Moods, Situations, and many more.), if done as per the corresponding file/container conventions.Īll this means I can for example find all tracks featuring a given instrument (let's say a flute) from 1 or more specified genres and of which there are more than 1 files with the same riddim/insturmental within 1-2 seconds. are able to read multi value as well as custom metadata (i.e. so for me this iTunes hook has become vital, and until DJ software devs get their sh*t together and finally arrive in this millenium of how music metadata should be handled I will need to stick to this for now. I use the above MusicBee -> iTunes xml hook extensively, and maintain smart playlists as well as library management through MB like none of the DJ solutions can at this point. meaning, an iTunes xml created with MusicBee, which opposed to iTunes natively (due to apple's active boycott of flac ) can hold many other formats as well, for example flac files, which then errors when read into Traktor.įunnily enough, Serato SSL / SDJ / SDJ Pro as well as Rekordbox, all import the same iTunes xml with flac files and 100s of static as well as smart playlists fine. Click to expand.This can work, but NI support confirmed a long standing bug within Traktor, where certain assumptions are hard-coded into the iTunes xml file read/import. ![]()
