Having this option ON could cause doubles to show within the Serato software and it will also take up more space on your computer since iTunes will be copying the music to it's own library rather than reading the file from the location on your hard drive. This will stop iTunes from creating duplicates of your Audio Files when importing them into iTunes.

NOTE: On a Windows Machine you will need to click on the “Edit” tab to access the Preferences. Open iTunes > Click iTunes Tab in the top left corner > Select Preferences > Go to Advanced Tab. Please make sure you edit files correctly when using BOTH iTunes libraries and Serato crates together. If you let iTunes organise all your music for you and you decide to make crates with Serato software, changing artist or album names can cause the files to become "missing" as the original file's name could not be found. For the best way to organize your library we recommend using Crates inside the Serato software. When using Serato DJ, third-party programs such as iTunes are not the best and most reliable way to organize your Library. If you already have audio files on your system, importing them into iTunes is easy. You can either drag them in your library from the operating system, or use the import files dialogue in iTunes itself, which is in the file menu > Add to Library.' Once the import is complete, the tracks on the CD should now be files on your computer, usable both in iTunes and Serato Software (given you have the Read iTunes Library option checked in Serato software)Īdding files from your computer to iTunes
There are 3 main ways of adding music to an iTunes library purchased downloads from the iTunes Music Store, ripping CDs directly into iTunes, and importing files that are already on your hard drive into your library.
