Status of Smart Lists in Traktor 4 ?

Nobbi · 2025-02-11T06:57:47+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Yesterday i tried to create a new smart list:
Genre contains "Funky"
Genre contains "Disco"
BPM is less or equal to 100

The result sortet genres right, but bpm were up to 130 unsortet
Are there still mistakes in the logic ?
Is this a known problem that is noted on a solving-list ?
Who knows more ?
Thanks for Reply 😀

Are you sure you have tracks that contains both Funky and Disco in the genre tag?

Sadly you can't mix AND and OR :( For example (Genre = Funky OR Genre = Disco) AND BPM <= 100 does not work. We asked NI to implement it, but they claimed the we, the users, are too stupid for it.

So now it's either:

Genre = Funky AND Genre = Disco AND BPM <= 100 Which would only list a song if they contain all 3.

Genre = Funky OR Genre = Disco OR BPM <= 100 which would also list songs that are below 100 BPM even if the genre is something different. And Disco above the BPM range.

Did you check the “Match all conditions” box?

Otherwise only one of the conditions has to match for a track to show in the smartlist.

Hi @ErikMinekus… thanks for reply

I think, when i klick "match all conditions" then the result is Zero.
But i must try again when i am back at my laptop.
Finally i am of the opinion that something is wrong or operates in time delay ..

@lord-carlos thank you …

It's probably exactly as you explain

The 'Not-so-smart'-lists have been missing the individual And/Or/Xor for a while now. We are all waiting for it to get an update. So far it's never been on any quartely projection for whatever reason.

No, they specifically said they don't want to do it.

It was in the thread about the Idea votes.

I don't waste my time with Traktor Smart Lists.

It's why I still have iTunes.

It´s boring .. we have to accept "not so smart" situations, concerning real time stems, smart lists, browser features, etc. while other players on the market perform perfect just on simple smartphone in the pocket.
