Antchi:
More succinct info is what’s needed here.
Show us an existing playlist that works
Show us a track which successfully adds to that list
Show us a track which doesn’t add to that list
Please see the track I already sent to Mufasa above.
Show us that “won’t add” track playing successfully on its own outside of a playlist
Show us what happens when that track doesn’t add - like an error message, a red flash, a warning sound, a reboot of windows
Cant really show as cant capture video of it happening, or not as the case may be. Basically though, you drag and drop the file to the playlist you want it in, but the number by the side of the playlist showing how many tracks are in it doesnt increase. Nothing else happens. No crash, no error message etc.
Narrow down the numbers. Saying you’ve got hundreds of tracks which won’t add seems far-fetched. Would someone sit and try adding just track 1, oh didn’t work… try adding just track 2, oh didn’t work … try adding just track 596, oh didn’t work. If you multi select a few hundred tracks and 1 track in that selection is problematic, it could stop the entire selection from adding , until the problem track is deselected and the mass add tried again.
Im already going through the process of building my library back up in Engine Prime after 1 database corruption. Currently just under 4000 tracks in it. You want me to go through every single one and give you a number??!
Don’t get half way into something then go into unrelated things - like a squeaky platter is not going to have anything to do with playlist track adding - by all means mention any other probs but keep each story separate and not cross contaminate
Also gross exaggeration won’t help either so saying “ Its making my music damn near unplayable.” when the issue is only that you’ve got some tracks which won’t add to a playlist are nowhere near accurate.
If I cant add the music to a playlist which is how I work, then how am I supposed to get it out of Prime to a USB drive and make it playable? I dont use Serato etc so no point me putting the players in controller mode. So yeah, it really is “damn near unplayable” and Im not exaggerating.
We’ll all try and help when the right info is clearly given - and that hasn’t been the case so far - sorry
Hope the above points help

So you’re incapable of DJing unless your music is in a playlist?
If the issue is with playlists, have you tried the same tracks but using crates instead?
Do everything exactly as you are, except create a crate instead of a playlist. Do the tracks go in?

Tracks in question are already in crates. Thought Id already said that above. Apologies if I hadnt.

Did you not understand what I’m suggesting?
Your problem is that adding some tracks to a playlist is not working, right?
I’m suggesting using a crate instead of a playlist. Doesn’t matter where the files are now.
Playlists and crates are not that much different. Call your “song list” a playlist or a crate, it achieves the same thing - a collection of tracks.
So where you’re now making a playlist called (i.e.) Best Music, which doesn’t accept some tracks, make a crate and call it the same thing, and add tracks to it the same as you do to the playlist.
You may find that where the playlist fails, the crate works.
Did you try using the internal Filebrowser and then drag and drop or from Windows itself? I just found out that the first works for me in this case.
