got a couple of live gigs over the next couple of weeks , i normally use a kam dual mp3 player as my backup , in case i have a problem or need to reboot, but i have reconfigured my rack and there is no space for it, I decide I should probably have a second macine running VDJ, so got around to reformating my old laptop, fresh install the os and VDJ.
I have copied all my music and Karaoke files over , and have also copied the virtual dj folder in my documents.
everything works ok on my old laptop, playlists etc etc, but songs i have downloaded from content unlimited just give an error on loading.
I have tried refreshing the catche but still get the error.
so my question is, can the catche be moved from one computer to another ?
is there something else I need to take into account?
is it a problem due to the fact that my main laptop is running windows 7 , and my old one is running windows xp?
I buy nearly all my music anyway, so its not a major problem , but t would be nice to keep my my old backup Laptop in 'sync' with my gig laptop.

Did you put the cache files from the old computer in to the cache folder in virtual dj on the new one?

Yes I have copied the entire vdj folder under my documents over from the main winn7 machine to the the backup XP machine
I am wondering if its to do with the difference between 7 and XP ?
All my music is in the same path , c:\music and c:\karaoke
it looks like the downloaded music is under the my docs folder
The paths for user docs is different in 7 and XP, I think this is the problem
I wonder if this paths can be edited in the config somehow?
It would be nice if vdj 8 could have configarable paths for its settings , catche , etc

If you have also copied your database across, then the cached content won't work if the paths are different.
You should be able to resolve this by right-clicking on the ContentIUnlimited folder and choosing Add To Search DB

Thank you to the support staff !
adding to the db restored operation, I had visions of editing paths in config or copying the cache to another folder, this fix only takes seconds to do!

Is there a simple quick way to move the cache files into designated folders?

I copied and pasted the cache files from one computers Virtual DJ 7 to my backup computers Virtual DJ 7. The new cache files on the backup computer won't show up in the existing cache files but if I type in a new cache files name to the search bar the cache file shows up and can be played. I tried "Add to search DB" and that didn't fix the issue. What am I doing wrong?
