How do I restore my playlists?

JoeJoe · November 2023

Hi. I loaded up Tracktor Kontrol S2 today to find that I have lost all my playlists. Hours of work, cues etc. Feel sick.

I contacted NI for support and followed the link which tells you to 'Import Another Collection' from backups.

However, there was only one back up to choose from, from earlier that day when all playlists had disappeared. So this was no good.

What do I need to do to restore my playlists?

Has there been an update that I need to undo? My music is stored on an external USB hard drive - does this make any difference?

Please help!

Maybe you should screenshot your playlists before you save them,and keep your screenshots inside the custom desktop folder for your screenshotted playlists that you need to create.

Hope it helps somehow.

Normally there should be a backup file from every time you close traktor. I have hundreds of backup files.

Are you sure you looked in the right folder?

If you would want to do it by hand, it's better to just save each playlist as a .m3u file instead.

Yeah. I can usually see the back up files from when I close trackor. But this time it is empty. No back up files and no play lists. Its like it has re-set.

Reluctant to start creating new play lists, cues etc without knowing what happened. I don't want to be in this situation again.
