Hi Peeps.
I had all of my music in a folder on my desktop and everything was ok with vdj. But i had to move that whole folder to another place, and since i did that, virtual dj is not recognizing the songs anymore. It happens for example when using the search function, vdj displayes my track which i searched, but when loading it to a deck it gives an error, because it cant find the root anymore, since i changed the folderplace. Another example is this harmonic folder which vdj8 gives you. There is the same problem, it shows the tracks, but when loading it gives an error.
Some other tracks are beeing displayed two or three or even four times. But i only like to have it once in there, since its irritating.
Any ideas on how to fix those two things?

Options:
1) Put the folder back where it was.
2) Rescan all the files in their new location.
3) Edit the database XML file and do a "search & replace" so that the new folder location replaces the old.

Option 4)
Backup your database, download this tool and run it for every VDJ database (in case you are using more than 1 drive for your music)
