Topic: Cannot find some of my karaoke songs in the database

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello,

I cannot find some of my karaoke songs in the VDJ database when I do a search. I checked in my karaoke hard drive and found them there, but they are missing when I search for them in VDJ Pro 7. Does anyone have any solutions?

Thank you :)

make sure you add it to your database (right click add to database).
 
I added all of my songs to the database. It appears that some of them did not show up on VDJ.
 
 
Thank you :) I will check into it.
I have a DJ/karaoke program that I, previously, used. All my karaoke songs appear in that database. (Did not like the DJ program. It was not possible to beatmix with it.)
 
VirtualDJ is primarily a DJ application which is also able to play karaoke, hence its name.

Likewise, your previous karaoke application was primarily intended for karaoke, which is probably why it was not so good for DJ use.

Some karaoke formats are not supported - Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/How%20do%20I%20play%20karaoke%20files%20in%20VirtualDJ.html

NOTE: New music or karaoke will not automatically appear in VirtualDJ's database and will not appear when searching until you add it by right-clicking on the appropriate folder and choosing Add to search DB (It doesn't matter if the folder contains other music/karaoke that is already in the database.) Manually browsing to a folder and loading a song on a deck will add that song individually to the database, providing that the option to do this is enabled in CONFIG -> Browser.
 

This has been done. I have the VDJPro7, second screen set-up, and I downloaded all of my songs from the external hard drive that I used for karaoke with the previous program. The other program is for DJ and karaoke, but no beatmixing. I had added all of the songs. Only some of them showed up on the database. I found mostly DK, some Sunfly, Music Maestro and a few others, but other particular labels were missing. (no SC, for example)

Thank you, again, for providing imput :)
 
If they are zipped, then most likely the ZIP is corrupted or using a compression level that VirtualDJ does not support. Try unzipping a file that does not show and then see if it then shows and load OK (Zipping is not really necessary with today's large hard drives.)

Check that both the CDG and MP3 file are named exactly the same as each other, as directed on the above page.

Also, check the format of the files that do not show - If they are formats such as .kar, .bin, etc. then they will not work in VirtualDJ. VDJ supports standard MP3+G and video (MP2/MP4/AVI/etc.) karaoke only.
