Turn your Traktor playlists into smart, auto-updating ones. This Java program checks for new music and adds them to your playlists automatically based on lots of rules (genre, BPM, key, etc. as well as many special fields like comment2, remixer, catalog...), by editing Traktor's collection.nml. Has regex and match-case support. Also acts as a launcher: it sorts your tracks and then opens Traktor.
- Download traktor-autoplaylist.zip and double click.
- On first run, it will ask you where collection.nml is. It's usually somewhere in your Documents folder.
- Click on playlists and edit rules. Then click "Start" to sort your tracks.
- Traktor will automatically run. (Tip: replace your Traktor shortcut with this one)
- If your collection.nml breaks, don't worry, it made a backup (collection.nml.backup)
- DECIMAL_BPM and LOCK are yes/no questions. It assumes that whatever you type in the box means "true". So, to have a playlist of unlocked tracks, use "LOCK isn't true". Same with DECIMAL_BPM ("is BPM decimal?").
- Playlists cannot have the same names
- Cannot have ";" in playlist name
- Sometimes may not auto-launch Traktor in Windows
- Cannot detect if you removed a playlist in traktor
