![]() Then run a Check and Clean on all your database files from the Config -> Browser tab. turn off the Add Automatically option but setting it to Add Manually. The issue also occurs if the file was 'moved' on the drive and you viewed a playlist that had it referenced in it's prior location. If you have the option of 'Add Automatically' set in the Config->Browser tab then the files are added to the primary database ( My Documents\VirtualDJ\VirtualDJ Database v6.xml ). example - viewing a playlist with tracks that are on an external drive but the drive is not currently connected. The issue comes from viewing playlists where the playlist has references to files that are not visible to VirtualDJ. will get back to "manually restore" the lost info Most of the above conditions seem to replicate mine. maybe the different info for the same song/file will cause a collision when you have the devices with those songs connected at the same time just my 50 won. ![]() the same song/file, same size of course, on different devices with different song info, like different cues, automix points etc. this all started, as i remember, after vdj used local DBs (every device has it own DB) i'm not saying i don't like the new system i actually prefer it ! maybe vdj has a problem handling. not knowing or forgetting the "risk" that old info will dsappear. ![]() when you prepare a whole bunch of new songs to play. I just lost a whole chunk of song info AGAIN !!! i mentioned this in a few other posts, too as martin(DJmga) wrote above i think it happens a lot after adding many songs at once, editing those, recursing folders and fix/check/cleaning DB this is a big pain in the arrrrrrrse, especially, of course, it usually happens right before a big weekend or event or. will get back to "manually restore" the lost info ![]() I'm sure it's something small, but it's taking me a long time to try and find a set of circumstances where I can reproduce it at will :-(. It's obviously not a widespread database issue, otherwise this forum would be burning with posts about it. Absolutely not related to adding tracks/albums/artists with accents. I've reset all permissions and besides, I run with full admin privileges. I do use iTunes to organise my music, so that I don't need to worry about moving music to specific folders, etc. I alway do a check/clean/fix on my database also. Doesn't happen every time I add tracks. But this didn't resolve the issue either - I still ended-up with lost data. So then I resorted to simply selecting the specific folders I added the music to and analysing the new tracks. Based on the above statement, is this somehow related to the volume of data being added in one go? - This led me to believe it was possibly related to recursing my entire drive, which I always do after adding any new tracks. I stress tracks because I don't believe I've had the issue when adding a single individual track. Have only seen it after I add new tracks, which I hate doing now for fear of losing a large amount of data - I can live with losing 1 or 2 tracks' data, but losing data on hundreds is a major pain in the ass. When it happens, its not unique to 1 artist/genre/folder. Very random: can happen on 1 track or 161 (as reported in the above thread). My drives are working perfectly, less than 6 months old & my data is contiguous. Yes, still there for me, as posted in your other post here: What I do know is that: - It's not specifically a USB/external drive thing.
