Do you normally use an external drive with your setup?
Look in the root level of your external drive, is there a VirtualDJ Local Database.xml file ?

If you answer Yes, to both and everything works fine in your setup - then they are not using Version 5 at the clubs. Version 5 introduced the individual databases per drive partition. You should be able to walk in and plug in then start playing if they are using version 5.

What kind of drives are these ? Standard USB connect? Ok, after you connect the drive to the system -> Does the drive (in VDJ) show up in the Config -> Browser tab -> in the drop-down for the different databases?

Does the drive even show up in the My Computer ?

Don't you have to recurse the external drive so the software reads the data file off the external?




I'm just getting ready to use two external Seagate 750s with my back up material on it with a laptop.

They have never been scanned, except the identical files that are on my current active cpu's internal drives in a different multidrive configurations.

Will I have to rescan both externals?

Or is there a way to recurse them with the main system so they are assigned a data file for use with the laptop?


And what about playlists? ... Can they be stored on the external drive and be activated when that drive is hooked up?
