My wife and I use VDJ for karaoke. Well, over the past couple of years, there has been a reoccurring sort of, glitch. When it happens, all the songs on my harddrive can no longer be searched and have to be added to the search database again...which can take a LONG TIME! My harddrive are collectively 4 TBs. Also when the glitch occurs, my automix playlist is erased. Neither of these occurrences are good. But when you couple them with their timing, at the beginning of our show, it is a bit more than problematic. If anyone has any info to help us out, we would greatly appreciate it!

Well it simply means that your settings file and database files aren't read properly at startup
Usually it's because they are locked by a previous VDJ process, in which case a simple laptop restart fixes it
If not, you should reload the files from your latest VDJ backup
If you don't know how to setup a VDJ auto backup, maybe have a look at this:

I use a cloud drive as my backup destination, so that I have the backups even if I loose my laptop
A final thing:
The side lists (regular, karaoke or automix) are not really supposed to be permanent, even though they do get stored as-is at shutdown
But they are really meant to be dynamic lists, which are then changed while playing
So maybe don't use them as permanent storage. Use Virtual Folders or playlists for that instead, and load the one you want into the list when you want to use it
