![]() It seems that this new offering from Beatport is a very slick way to organize your tracks. This will refresh the library and you will be able to see all the new tags and any playlists that you have set up in Beatport Pro. ![]() Then simply right click the ‘iTunes’ library icon in Traktor, followed by ‘Refresh’. Once there select the iTunes option and navigate to the Beatport xml file that you just saved. Once you have exported the Beatport Pro Library, open up Traktor and head to the preferences > File Management. Setting up Traktor to import the Beatport Library In the Beatport preferences you can head to the ‘Export’ window where you only have to name and export your library once, causing it to automatically update this file each time you adjust anything in Beatport Pro. ![]() You can decide what items you would like to import based on familiar style requests as seen in iTunes smart playlists. For instance, if you have already spent painstaking hours updating your comment fields with your own information, you can import this to the Beatport collection too. Once you have imported your collection it asks you if you would like to import any meta tags that you have already created inside your existing collection. Upon install Beatport Pro gives you the option of importing your tracks from iTunes or from another location on your hard drive. This was my key concern when I heard about the announcement from Beatport. ![]() I was not expecting the syncing to be live and seamless, however once you have exported your collection once from Beatport Pro, you don’t have to do it again. I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was to tag tracks and export the Beatport Pro collection to integrate with Traktor. Find out more on the Beatport Pro website.I wanted to take a few minutes to show you how to sync Beatport Pro with Traktor so that you guys can get up and running with this latest music organisation tool. The software is due for release imminently, for Mac only, and is free.Those who know us well at Digital DJ Tips will know that far from seeing music library organisation as a non-glamorous chore, we think it’s probably the most important thing that separates good DJs from great ones, and have dedicated many column inches and video minutes to helping our readers get this right – so we’re very much looking forward to bringing you our view on Beatport Pro in the next week or so having played with it. Beatport Pro is the first serious stab at filling in that niche for us DJs, and as long as it does indeed handle all your music (and not just Beatport purchases) in the same way, it is definitely worth a closer look. As DJ music libraries continue to grow in size and complexity, there is an increasing need for management software that can intelligently categorise audio types and parse collections based on more specialised search criteria and attributes. While iTunes may be the most practical media library software (which is why the vast majority of DJs use it), it isn’t the most powerful and is designed for general music and media management not specifically for DJs, so it’s not perfect at this task by any means. The software appears to work fine with all music, not just that bought from the Beatport store. New, DJ-friendly search filters and tag attributes let you view and search your DJ music library in creative ways, plus you can add extended metadata information to your entire collection from within the app (batch processing) – something it’s hard to find in Mac ID3 tag editors. What’s more, as Beatport Pro’s library can be “read” inside DJ software in the same way your iTunes library can, Beatport is claiming on this basis that it “integrates seamlessly with Rekordbox, Traktor and Serato” – making it the first non-iTunes music organisation software to do this. It claims to offer a more convenient and specialised music library management solution for DJs, with better genre, metadata and filter handling, and the ability to work with samples and stems as easily as whole tracks. Beatport Pro aims to let you more efficiently manage all your music in one place for use across multiple DJ software like Rekordbox, Traktor and Serato.īeatport has just announced Beatport Pro, a free updated version of its offline store browser for Mac, but now with tools and features aimed squarely at helping DJs organise their music collections too.
