BPM changed out of nowhere

Hi guys, I'm having a small problem with Traktor Pro 4. Basically, it changes the bpm when I load it onto the deck. But it doesn't set it to half the tempo or double the tempo, NO, it loads it at 90 bpm for no reason, so I have to ask it to analyze it. Just out of the blue.
What could have happened? It does this on both my PC and my Mac on Traktor pro 3

What's the track (artist and title)? What BPM is it supposed to be? Is it a local file or streamed? What format is the file?

It doesn't do this with just one artist, but randomly. For example, I noticed this with Avicii's Levels, which is normally at 126 bpm. Local, I do not use streaming files

Analysning fixes it?

Does that mean the bpm is even wrong in the collection browser before you load it?

So…….every track, regardless of true BPM, loads at 90?

Not all of them, I still don't understand what criteria it uses. I found an entire playlist with all the BPM changed to 90.

I'll redo the analysis, you're right, but I can't redo the analysis every time I load a track.

What is your setting of „BPM Range“ in settings?

It may have reset to a lower default than what has been in use. 98-195 seems to be the best option.

My setting is 78-155 and having no issues. It's hard to believe that there's a problem with Traktor on his WIN11 and Mac. It sounds like he accidentally changed the setting.

The accident could have been a re-install/update. I remember this happening once or twice for some reason, which is why i regularly export all my settings for re-import if necessary.

No, I'm ASKING you! Does analyzing fix it? And is the BPM already wrong in the collection browser?

78-155

no, The problem is different every time.
In some cases, I find it already modified in the list, and in others, when I load it onto the deck.

I don't think it's an update issue because the first time it happened was on Pro 4, and in that case I might have had my doubts, but then I went to my Mac, where I have version 3, and I had the same problem.

Could be a misalignment of what value is stated in the collection and what value is stated in the track metadata. Have you changed the way metadata is saved (collection vs audio file in preferences/analysis; i think there are three different setting values)?

Here is why this could be the case:

In the past, i sometimes had a Traktor crash after changing data for an audiofile. My setting is to save all data with the file. Next time i loaded up Traktor (autoloading the collection saved before i changed the data and Traktor crashed), i can see the file having wrong data in my playlist. Once i load the track, the playlist (and collection) auto corrects to the data found in the loaded file.

This may be what is happening to you.

And it does this on two different software programs? I have Traktor 4 on my PC and Traktor 3 on my Mac.
I could understand if it only did this on one of the two devices, but it's doing it on both.

Make sure both use the same settings for analysis and also use the same collection file.
