Well you should have moved the files from within the VDJ browser and it would keep the database with the correct link to the file. Above that you should have backed both your music files and VDJ folder so if anything went wrong you could instantly recover.

Also, if you make sure the database is accurate, (make sure to add the new location to the database) then it should still find the files in most cases as long as file name and file size are the same.

Unfortunately, I already moved my files around in the OS and did not do this within VDJ so consequently, I have a database problem or missing/cannot find file location error(s) . I've moved files and deleted folders etc and totally messed things up. I have no issue starting over In VDJ however I don't want to loose all my filter folders. What is the best way to do that?...If i can not salvage them..what is the best way to start over?

Did you not back up your Documents > VDJ folder before starting the move?
If you had done then something could probably be salvaged.

In VirtualDJ, just right-click your music folder, and select Batch->Add to Search DB
Next, select the options button in the browser on the left, and select Database->Remove Missing Files from DB.
You shouldn't need to remove or clear anything else

If you made playlist, your playlist are also going to be broken (playlist not virtualfolders). But at least your playlist can be fixed with the listfix utility, it really works

hope this helps.

Google it (listfix for MAC) and download your copy, its a free utility for fixing broken playlist. Also a Mac user here, running it on High Sierra

Hi DjjBehnood,
I totally agree with you 1 at track at the time seems crazy right?
VDJ is an amazing software, I cannot believe that they don't have smart relocation, the best way to avoid this is using VDJ FOLDER but you cannot re order tracks as you can in playlist... :(
listFix() It works fine on Mac (is java based), you only need to have installed https://www.java.com/en/ download the .jar file and then "right click -> open with -> JavaLauncher".
Add Media Folder, open the playlist to be fixed, select all tracks -> right click -> Find closest Matches.
Is not perfect (at least in Mac) and you may need to move the "playlist" that you need to fix to you main folder /USERS/YOUNAME/ fix the playlist and then copy back to the original location.
I just fixed 5 playlist (1 at the time) in my M1
Thank you guys for bring this alternative solution, I hope some day (soon) VDJ Dev Team find a similar solution.
Cheers
