Why doesn't Traktor Pro always save my cue points?

Rhythm n FLo

Hi all,

I am using Traktor Pro 3 and manually beat grid + cue all my tracks. I don't use mix in key a I don't DJ electronic music.

What I am finding is traktor does not always save my cue points and/or grids. This is very frustrating as it seems to occur at random. I always export to collection and save track collection every time after prep but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Anyone have any ideas please?

Maybe is the audio format that you use?

I can confirm that for .wav and .flac files, my cue points are always saved. For other formats, i don't know.

btw, you don't need to export your collection or save, every time... it happens automatically every time you close Traktor

@Rhythm n FLo the same problem here, but as @Sunborn mentioned: only with MP3

so I do the following: after CUEs are set, I go to Edit (in the browser right click on the actual track) and simple type a space in the comment-field and click "Apply" and then "OK" - after having problems with forced-to-reanalyze I make this workaround with the "Apply"-click

haven´t tried much till now, but those few tracks "saved" now their CUEs by this method

hope this helps a little bit

Hello, same problem here, but even with the apply method nothing is saved (info reset when i load the track again)

The only workaround for me : deleting the track from collection (also delete tracktor tags) and then import again to collection ==> i loose all my playlists for this track, very frustating ... NI any help with this bug?

do you have write permission on the files?

tonial

Hello @wayfinder yes of course I checked and I have permission to write to the files (checked in explorer/properties)

I launch tracktor in Administrator mode.

If i delete the track from collection (not deleting the .mp3 file on the hard drive), choosing delete tags also, then reimport the track to collection, everything is fine, so this is not linked to the file itself. If I do this I loose the file in all my playlists, my cue points, and my gris, comments... very annoying

If anyone has another idea.... cheers

A solution that worked for some tracks but not all : backup + deleting completely my collection.nml file, then lanching tracktor to build a new collection.nml file, then copying my backed up file to the teacktor folder. unfortunately still not fixing all tracks.

Try it the other way round:

Launch Traktor and drag collection.nml and settings.nml out of the Traktor folder (while Traktor is running). Now close Traktor, so it will create new setting and collection files (with your current collection and settings).

Re-start Traktor and check if this issue still occurs. Let us know, if this helped.
