Topic: VDJ does not show shortcuts for mp3 files (* .lnk) in the browser
I use folders with shortcuts for mp3 files (* .lnk) for my favourite songs. But now are all of these folders in the VDJ browser empty. Why? It was working many years...

Can you try with EA update 6969?
 
just download and tested v8.5-64 b6969 , folders are still empty :-(

Before you fix it, can you give me a link to the latest built where it still worked? I need this feature tonight.

edit: Ok, I'm back to version 6921, it still works there. :-)
 
 
Should be fixed in build 6972
 
I have same problem.
In older versions of Virtual DJ playing mp3 files via windows shortcuts worked. It doesn't work in newer versions. I am currently using the VirtualDJ 2020 pc build 7059.1902 and the program still does not see these shortcuts despite the fact, that you wrote above, that it will be corrected from build 6972.
 
I never use LNK/Shortcuts before so I was curious and tried it and it WORKED.

Still, I won't be using this method (why create another un-necessary file)

v8.5-32 b7131
 
I test it right now,
before i setup the fileformat in the setting with ",lnk"
now it works for me.
 
HardyHardwich82: Thanks for the tip.
I looked for the option you indicated in the settings, added the ".Ink" extension and it worked :-)
I did not know that something needs to be changed there. In the earlier version of Virtual Dj I was using, it was apparently set natively / by default.
