    Hey all,
    I understand I can play music either via iTunes or SoundCloud.

    But let’s imagine a situation where I play in a party and the owner spontaneously gives me a usb stick and asks me to play the song on there.... let’s say an unreleased song that isn’t available anywhere.

    all I have is my iPad.... so how can I import the song into Traktor app?

    Thanks!

    Currently not at all :/ .. but we hope it will be supported in TDJ2 too, because since iOS 13 it is possible for 3rd party apps to access directly an usb stick. But the app developer (NI) has to call this API feature of course, thats why (the quite old) TDJ1 cant acces usb sticks at all (even with ios13)

    What i do not know (as i did not update to ios13 yet: is it possible via files folder to mannualy drag and drop from usb stick to ios songs ? .. if yes, than TDJ1 could play them ;)

    Hey,

    So are you saying Traktor app 1 (the paid one) supports files??

    Because on iPadOS you have a complete file system.

    No, TDJ does not support files, supports ios music song library only, unfortunatly.
    What i do not know (my 2nd bullet above): whether ipadOS 13 allows to acces song library via files (for manual copy/paste), i assume not too.

    I, for the life of me, can’t understand why TDJ does not support direct importing through the file system. This has been readily available for a few iOS incarnations with of course the most recent even more.

    I RARELY attach my iPad to my computer and this being the only way to do it that doesn’t involve a cloud service is a major dealbreaker for me. Which is a shame as a couple of competing apps do just that and with iOS 13 can do it DIRECTLY from an external drive.

    I would have stuck with their ecosystem but instead am forced into another.

    I just don’t get it. Seems like the perfect and most sound way to add music.

    We all do not expect that NI plans ANY updated TDJ1, meanwhile only in support mode, latest version (1.6.8) is about 2 year old. TDJ1 is as it is :/ (that's at least my understanding)

    So maybe better to post such request for TDJ2 forum (NI folks read the comments there):
    https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/forums/traktor-dj-2.411/

    Best anyhow to request in TFA forum, NI collects the requests and post planned features:
