Copy the entire database, you will get that info to your new laptop.
 
Can you do this if you have a DB on a windows machine and are moving to VDJ on MAC?
 
 
does this work moving from windows to mac or just windows to windows?

Done that, all playlists are on Place put no cue and saved loops.
 
Your music folder needs to be in exactly the same place. (same username, folder location etc.)

If not, you can mass edit the database.xml file to match your new location.

How do I mass edit?
 
If you copied the music, all you need to do is first copy the database.xml file, then open VDJ, right-click your music folder and select recurse.
It should find the files in the database, even if they are moved, and thus preserve all cues and loops.

Ahhh Daaaammmm..
Already moved 800gb and start using new laptop :(
Thanx anyway
 
If you didn't add any cue points, just overwrite the database.xml with the one from your old computer and recurse then.
