User Manual

By default, this process imports all music files contained in the My Music folder of your
operating system.
TRAKTOR analyzes music for certain characteristics (BPM, length, etc.) when loaded into a
Deck for the first time. This function takes some time to process. Be sure to prepare the
tracks you want to use in a DJ set beforehand if you want to use features such as syncing or
Auto Looping with them without having to wait for this analysis process.
The Status Bar at the bottom of the Browser window will provide a visual indication of the
analysis process and alert you to any problems.
Adding Files from Other Folders
If you have stored tracks in other folders or on external storage devices, you can add these
folders to the list of TRAKTOR Music Folders as follows:
1. Open Preferences > File Management.
2.
Click Add… at the bottom of the Music Folders section.
3. Navigate to a folder you want to add.
4.
Confirm with Choose (Mac OS X) or OK (Windows).
5.
Click Close to apply the changes.
Repeat to add all of your music folders.
Subfolders are automatically included in the scan. Hence, you don’t need to add them to
this list.
