I have play list errors after upgrading from V/7 to V/8.0 I'm getting a strange red and green x next to all the songs in the play list. Now virtual cant find any of the songs and I have to search for every song one at a time :( , any ideas on a fast way to fix this issue thanks.

Open the Playlist with an editor and check if the filepath to your tracks is still the same.

go back to vdj 7 clean and fix your database there then check the playlist in 7 i am sure the songs are missing there
then delete database.xml and open vdj8 and it will rebuild database for version 8 hopefully with the correct locations for all your existing files,
fyi music files don't go missing by installing vdj8
good luck

Go to ../Documets/VirtualDJ/Playlists
do a rightlick on a playlistfile and choose open with... Notepad for example.
No you should see the filepath to the track. Check if it's the right path. If the path is wrong, VDJ is unable to find the track.

Hello,
I have the same problem. I have VDJ7 and VDJ8 on the same old Macbook (core2 duo). Both versions can read the playlist files. VDJ7 can load the tracks from the playlists, VDJ8 cannot. If I look at the file details, VDJ8 believes the file to reside in /Users/schlechter/Music/Albums/Artist/Album/song.ext. The file really is in /Music/Albums/Artist/Album/song.ext which is also the path in the m3u-file. Somehow, VDJ8 prepends the users homedirectory to the pathes in the m3u files, even if these are clearly absolute pathes that are recognised by VDJ7.
By the way, VDJ8 consumes 80-90% CPU and the fans speed up when navigating through the "erroneous" playlists.
Current version is 8.0.0 mac build 2191.966

Just wondering, but how did you get the /Music root folder on your Mac?
Partitions are automatically mapped under /Volumes from what I know.

German user had the same problem a couple of days ago.
I think he manually corrected the filepath and it's working again.
But we too don't know why the path was wrong.
