Try the "delete" button on keyboard ;-)

I'm glad someone from the staff knows how to delete a file ;-)

FYI a mac has no delete button, you can do it with cmd-backspace and this works. But, as I never use my keyboard, I want to do this with my mouse, but there is only a lookup option, no delete option with this kind of files when you rightclick. Other files have the option 'remove from this virtual folder'

You only get a lookup option because this is not the actual file.

From the cloud lists and Shazam etc when you attempt to load them they will search Content Unlimited for the track.
You can then cache them and then store them in a playlist etc.

That's why you only have the lookup option.

I don't understand it completely. In the Shazam folder they all have bleu marks, half of them has also green marks. They even have a calculated bpm.
I can put the green one's in a virtual folder and I can load them directly with drag and drop in the player.
But this has nothing to do with my problem, I can delete it with the keyboard, why not with the menu?

Which skin are you using?

Orangejuice.
Ok, I tried with the default skin, and it works. It's the skin.

first of all, thank you for your skin.
And it has nothing to do with the skin. I was to early with my conclusion.
You misses with VDJ 8.1 sometimes the right-click menu to delete the Shazam-tracks look-up options when you have moved them to another location. It only works with the keyboard, I never use.

That you took your conclusion before asking, it's nothing to be ashamed about: most of Atomix-staff and developers always forget that there is also something as a Mac ;-)
