Traktor support for multiple collections and guest DJs

Lord Gothington

Ahoy!

It would be awesome if I could export my collection or a subset of my collection to a USB drive, plug it into someone else's traktor setup and see my collection next to their collection, with all my selected tracks, cue points, and playlists.

And then, when I unplug my USB drive, traktor forgets I was even there.

I play with a group of DJs that all use traktor and it would be nice if all we had to bring to a gig was a prepared USB drive.

Obviously it should be possible to plug in multiple USB drives for B2B or simplying transitioning from one DJ to the next.

This is the norm in the CDJ world. It is a pretty essential feature if you want to get Traktor out of the bedrooms and into the clubs. The cherry on top would be also supporting USB drives that were prepared by rekordbox.

Obviously it is possible in the current versions of traktor to plug in a USB drive and play tracks off of it. But that leads to the library on the host machine getting full of missing tracks from USB drives that are no longer attached. It would be nicer if traktor could simply handle multiple collections. I guess in that system it should be possible to have a top-level playlist that can include tracks from any collection as well as collection specific playlists — so that when I plug in my drive I can drill down and easily see just my tracks and playlists.

Once that is implemented — it would also be nice if my collection could include a profile that has my preferred traktor settings — so that when I take over from the previous DJ — the system is easily reconfigured to my preferences.
