Hey all,
I have a pretty large collection (over 12,000 tracks) sorted into hundreds of playlists. I'm playing at a party in a couple of weeks where there will be a computer with traktor on it and a controller. I'd like to be able to export my collection onto a stick so I can just plug it into the laptop and have all my playlists (I don't care about cue points or beatgrids or any of that, just need playlists).
Obviously manually exporting all my playlists one at a time is out of the question because that would take forever. But the only other way I can think of doing it is as follows:
- Export my entire collection onto a stick, making sure to copy the files across too
- Make sure the person whose laptop it is backs up their collection first
- Plug in my stick and import the collection
- Play my set
- Import their collection back in again from the backup.
Would that even work? Is there anything I'd need to know/do beforehand to make sure that works as smoothly as possible?
Also, what if someone wants to play b2b at some point, is there a way to do that? Would we need to switch collections between every track? Surely there's an easier way?
Considering how straight forward this whole process is with Rekordbox, you'd think it should be pretty easy with Traktor too - I just can't figure out how.
Thanks in advance for any help.
