anything I should know in advance before switching from the PC version to the MAC version? have a new laptop & it's my first MAC. Music is on an external drive. I'm in a bit of a time crunch and am just hoping to dodge a big learning curve in the switchover. any suggestions are appreciated!

Make sure your external drive is the correct format for the Mac to read AND write.
I'm using a Macbook Pro i7 Bootcamped with Windows 7 and use the PC version of VDJ simply because of all the graphics plugins available for the PC (I use 100% video at all my gigs). There are now a number of plugins being made available for the Mac thanks to SBDJ and others, but, I use a 1Tb external Hard Drive that is 75% full and formatted for Windows. So the switch to the Mac version would not be easy and as the PC version is working perfect for me I'm happy as I am.
I did make one major mistake, the Mac has a 500gb hard drive built in, I only formatted 30gb for Windows 7 and really should have given it more space.
After using PCs for over 30 years I switched to the Mac in August 2010 and have never regretted it, best thing I've ever done. I certainly don't get the crashes or other problems I used to get with PCs, the Mac is solid. I use the Mac side every day for the internet, graphics work, music production, etc., etc. If your Mac is Bootcamped you get the best of both worlds i.e. a Mac AND a PC :-)
That's my experience hope that its been of some help to you.
Cheers

Started from 2 Toshiba Laptops and junked them.
Now running one Imac 21, MacbookPro 13, and 2x MacbookPro 15!
There might be a little adjustments... But once you tried Mac, you will never go back!

When I transfer my music from pc to mac how can I carry over cue points, comments and other info created within VDJ. Or do I have to sort thru thousand of songs again.

Do a search on here, I have seen posts describing ways to copy the database xml file containing cue points, analysis, bpm's, etc.
