Song Entries Disappearing from Traktor Pro 4?

djcoryminto

Has anyone else noticed songs disappearing from their Traktor Pro 4 library? In the 3-4 months that I've been using TP4, I've noticed maybe 6-10 songs just VANISH from the library. I go to play these songs at a gig and they're not there. In most of those cases, the files themselves were there in their normal location, but the library entry gone. In at least one case, the file itself was gone too, but for the others, the files remained intact. It's very possible that many more are gone without my awareness. Of course, a consistency check doesn't reveal any issue when the entry itself is gone.

2 of the vanished songs are by same artist and the same song (dfifferent remixes). The others are unrelated AFAIK. They all have been in my collection for years.

While anything is possible, I run an exceedingly tight ship with my library so I'd like to quell any speculation that I may have accidentally deleted the songs. It is incredibly unlikely. I also recognize the unlikeliness that songs vanish from Traktor without my doing. But wondering if anyone else has noticed this happening?

There have been a couple of reports.

Do you iCloud? Or the apple music app / iTunes? Music on external disk?

Thanks for the reply Carlos. No part of my Traktor collection is associated with any cloud service. My Traktor collection and all of the music files are on an external SSD.

I do use iTunes and Apple Music and I occasionally do some stuff in there - but never moving files around. Mostly just playing music or setting up playlists for my Apple devices as I use iTunes Match. I won't discount that Apple may be involved here but the fact that it's happening to 10 random tracks and not hundreds or thousands (I have like 30k Traktor entries/songs) isn't a smoking gun.

I'm interested in reading other threads. I will search for some now. If anyone has any handy, please advise.

Another 2 songs (unrelated songs) disappeared from my library tonight during a gig, songs i play somewhat regularly (IDK say once a month each). Both files were intact, but the entry in Traktor for those songs vanished.
