Integration

Apple iTunes

It’s important to make sure that your Mixed In Key results show up in iTunes correctly. This tutorial will make sure that you get the right results in iTunes.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the “Key + Energy” in your iTunes Comments column.

How to get your results into iTunes

1. Analyze your files in Mixed In Key. Mixed In Key will automatically update the ID3 tags to include Key and Energy.
2. Open iTunes. Go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced and make sure “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library” is NOT checked.
3. Add your files to iTunes. Your new tags will now appear.

NOTE: For iTunes on Windows:

To enable Mixed In Key to import playlists from iTunes on Windows, an option needs to be activated in iTunes – ‘Share iTunes Library XML with other applications’. This can be found under Edit > Preferences > Advanced. The setting is set to OFF by default.

• That’s it, you’re ready to use iTunes in your favorite DJ software!
