Thanks very much, that's realyy appreciated.

So, if i'm slowly builing up my collection of warped songs for DJ'ing, it makes more sense to "not use" the collect all and save, so that playlists can be managed by itunes, rather than collecting all and saving sets via ableton.

Hello,
I have a general question.
