    Has anyone figured out how to move the Database between computers?
    Just windows/mac would be a start, IOS is afik not possible at all.

    Its absolutly unusable even for smaller libraries if thats not working, how are you supposed to set cuepoints on one machine and perform on another?

    I raised this question to the NI folks already, as it is also a knock out in moment for me using TDJ2.

    For TD1 and Traktor Pro i build my workaround already, for TDJ2 we must wait. The database (new SQL db as successor of collection.nml) in iOS is not accessable (without Jail break), neither via TDJ2 file sharing neither via cloud (it is hidden internal, sandboxed). NI folks mentioned that this is on their roadmap (syncing meta data between Traktor applications, and sharing the database in public as a first step maybe).

    So i do not spend time to build my own workarounds, waiting for an NI solution in future too ;)
    I have my doubts it will come soon.

    Read your posts, but id be interested in your workaround for tp3: how do you sync your music and their tags on devices?

    I just do it by hand, copy/paste tracks and moving the database/playlist file...

    Omg .. by hand is a nightmare, right ?;) .. i have 2000 songs (all with grid, correct musical key and always 4 to 8 hotcues). My need was: how to transfer these meta data from one PC (Windows) to another one, or from PC to Mac and vice versa, most important1: how to backup my metadata (to restore later) even on different itunes environemts, and most importan2t: how to transfer from Traktro Pro to TDJ1 (ios) and vice versa.

    Its is a workaround only (i wished a automatic sync too!) but for backup/resore maybe the best anhow, see here:
    https://www.native-instruments.com/...-metadata-between-tdj-and-traktor-pro.258738/

    As you use PC it may help maybe, btw: in case you want to visualize which are hotcued, maybe like this too (transfers my meta data info into Excell sheet): https://www.native-instruments.com/...s-grid-into-txt-csv-xls-dj-player-pro.259384/

    Works with Traktor Pro 2.x, 3.x and TDJ(1) on ios ..
    ... not with TDJ2 because Ni sunsetted collection.nml there and keep the new db hidden

    :)
