Hi all,
I've updated my Traktor Pro 3 Software from 3.6.1 to 3.7.0. And now I have missing tracks in my m3u playlist. Yeah.. this should be a "fixed" issue in 3.7.0... but for me it does exactly the opposit. For now I downgraded to 3.6.1 again - everything fine there.
From 3.7.0 Release notes:
FIXED Missing Tracks in Imported M3U Playlists Playlist imported in m3u format now correctly include all tracks containing special (accented) characters.
For example, I have these two tracks (folder root path is the same for both):
D:\...\Music\Genre\Angelic - Can't Keep Me Silent (Timo V Mix).mp3
D:\...\Music\Genre\Angelic - Can’t Keep Me Silent (DuMonde Vocal Mix).mp3
The weird thing is: Only the second one is missing.
And it has nothing to do with the file itself, because I can load the track when I move it on to the deck from the Windows 10 file browser manually.
It just doesn't make any sense...
There are also some other tracks with e.g. ä,ö,ü, (...) characters that are missing. But still, these were working fine on my Traktor Pro 3.6.1 version.
**** Update:
For the two tracks above I've narrowed it down to the ’ symbol in the second track. I've changed it to the ' symbol of the first track. There are also a bunch of other tracks that were missing cause of this. Tracks with ä,ö,ü still missing.
But the issue still doesn't make sense, because the 3.7.0 patch notes say that "m3u imports with special characters "are fixed"... but imports with special characters in v 3.6.1 were working fine.
