I was in the middle of "adding files to the search DB" when I had a power outage and my external hard drive powered down. Once the power came back up and I restarted VDJ it froze on the startup screen at the "loading database" and just hangs there. Is there anything I can do to fix the database on that drive or am I going to have to spend hours re-analyzing the whole drive again?

Have u try to use the "check" "fix" in the browser tab in the VDJ config? Maybe that will help the database.

Unfortunately the check clean and fix features need a update , you need to open up the database file you will see song tags <song>info</song> make sure these tags are closed or it wont work.

OK tried a couple programs from the site above and all results were the same. I couldn't open the file. I couldn't even move it to the desktop. The only place it would move to is the trash can. Finder will lock if I try and move the XML file anywhere else. Now I'm stuck re-analyzing all my music...this sucks! Is there any good programs out there for mac that'll analyze songs and tag them the way Mixmeister does?
