Traktor Cuepoints Storage

DJ Armin

Hi folks, I have the following problem:

Where does Traktor Pro 4 store Cuepoints, or generally metadata information of songs I edited within my track collection?

Background:

I would like to exchange these metadata between systems.

For example, one system is a preparation computer, like a stationary Mac, and the other is the one I take to the stage, like a Macbook.

Unfortunately there is no built in function within Traktor Pro which supports me in doing that job.

Additional Information:

What I observe is that when any metadata of a song is changed, Traktor updates the corresponding mp3 file. However, tranferring only this file to the other system, does not show the change there. By that, there must be any other additionally storage place where Traktor stores metadata information.

Unfortunately, NI does not make that transparent at all and treats it like a kind of secret. That's why I am asking this question here in the forum.

This will write them to the files.

If you've already added the file to the collection on the other computer, it won't pick it up. Check consistency might pick up the changes.

If you're keeping the same files on both, you could sync your Traktor music folder, and documents\Native Instruments\Traktor …\

Information is also stored in the collection.nml file, which is just an XML file.
