What is the preparation list in Traktor?
Right click the playlist and click “Select as Preparation List”, this way your Preparation List is more flexible and you will prepare directly for that gig. Usually, between half a dozen to a dozen tracks should be enough, and once the set starts to flow, you probably won't even get through all of those.
How do I import a playlist into Traktor?
