I've read a few other threads on this, but none are quite my use case and some are quite old so things may have changed?
I use Traktor for DJing, but all of my music is currently managed by MusicBee. I'd like to be able to create and manage playlists in MusicBee and simply use them in Traktor, but the only way it appears I can do that (other than quite expensive 3rd party software), is via iTunes, which I haven't used in decades so I'm unfamiliar with that bit too!
I've a number of questions before I set about potentially messing up my library - I hope someone has some experience and can answer.
1) The starting point is to export the library from MusicBee and then presumably import the xml file into iTunes right? Can I do this without an Apple account?
2) Once in iTunes, I believe the integration with Traktor is seamless - all the playlists should show up right?
3) Presumably I still only have a single copy of the files on my computer?
4) So far I've been using a duplicate set of files for tracks imported into Traktor, but Traktor doesn't seem to be messing up the metadata so I think I'm safe to use the same files for all three?
5) The big question - how do I maintain it all? If I move things around in MusicBee, I guess I have to re-export into iTunes right? Is it a case of blitzing the existing library there and starting again or does it pick up changes?
