Traktor ID3 tagging (BPM, Key, energy level...) and third party softwares

Leregaleur

Hello the community,

I undersatnd that traktor pro needs to analyse first a song to define its beatgrid (hence the importance of analysing new songs imported from the hardware and even, just in case, automatically analysing songs imported in a deck before palying them.

I understand also that you can set a parameter in preferences . file management so that traktor pro does not write tags in the ID3 metadata of mp3s (even if it has analysed and defined the beatgrid).

However if one wants to use other softwares that can write tags (key, bpm with Beatunes, mixed in key or mixmeister for example) to write tags or simply if you want to manually write your tag in the mp3 file and you want traktor to show it when you open traktor (and of course sync songs with those BPM tags). Also you want that even if traktor analyse those songs after, it does not change those tags.

How do you do ? What are the steps ?

I would imagine : set the parameter in traktor so that it does not write any tags, close traktor, analyse and write tags with third party software, reopen traktor, do a consistency check and that's it.

Problem is : if one set the parameter so that traktor do not write any tags, does it mean you lose the custom tags of the stars, the color, comments you had manually written in traktor ?!!!

I am a bit confused there.

Heeeeelllllppp ! And please describe the steps to follow !!

The tags only change after they're been loaded into a deck. Very frustrating I know.
