Topic: Import .Crate files to VDJ8 ?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Okay so me and my friend are both DJs and he wanted to give me some crates he had (he uses Serato; I use VDJ). he transferred the .crate files from his hard drive to mine, but i am not sure how i can get VDJ to read the .crate files. I see nothing in the VDJ browser window. Is there anything i can do ?

We both use Macbooks if that matters.


Thanks in Advance

If you havent installed Serato, then put the Crates into a folder and select that folder from VirtualDJ Settings->OPTIONS tab -->search for Crates or SeratoFolder option.
Also make sure Crates is selected from Browser Options (small dot button at the left side of Browser)->Root elements ->Crates.

Once you do those, a Crates folder will appear in the Folders list.

Note. As far as i recall, maybe i am wrong, Smart Crates (aka Filter Folders in VirtualDJ) will not be shown, as those hold some criteria and are dynamic lists.

Yes you are right. On my system I have only smart crates (21 of them) and none show in VDJ.
