Saving Traktor collection

What is traktor doing every time you close the application?

I have a very large database of files and when closing the application with traktor 3, it takes 20 minutes or more to close the application while waiting for "storing collection".

I downloaded a trial version of traktor 4 to see if this behaviour has improved and to my surprise it now eadily takes 12 hours or more to do the same.

I'm editing nothing. Just open T4 and close it again and I have to wait the whole day for it to finish 'storing collection'.

    There is something wrong here. How many tracks do you have in your collection and what spec is your computer?

    Are the files on an external disk?

    Same here. Been complaining about this issue a while now. I'm on the latest version of 4 though.

    Had similar issues with closing Traktor. It tooks very long to shut down.

    Then I realized that some tracks which were stored as a copy/backup on my NAS, are also in my tracklist. One track with storage path C:\xxx…. and others with storage path N:\xxx…..

    After deleting all files with N:\xxx… from my collection it works like a charme. I don't think it's a bug. Are you using external Drives? Maybe it would be helpful to post a pic from your file management settings in Traktor.

    "Network storage", Yes, all my tracks are on my server. Why is this a problem? This problem started somewhere in the later stage of Traktor 3.

    Someone else mentioned in another thread that Traktor started accessing / touching every single file in the collection on close. And I assume a network / USB connection can't deal with those small ~random~ access fast enough.

    But that is just what one community member could dig up.

    The silence from Traktor devs are deafening.
