4.7. Importing Music to the Track Collection

The most convenient way to get your tracks into TRAKTOR's Track Collection is using drag and
drop:

•

Drag the music files from the location on your computer and drop them in the 

Track Collec-

tion

 folder in TRAKTOR's Browser Tree.

TRAKTOR now analyzes the metadata of the music files and stores the files in the Track
Collection.
