Topic: Protecting my library from other DJ's

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I run a entertainment company, I'm opening a DJ division, I want to give them external HD's with our library on

I want to restrict them from copying the data or corrupting it in anyway

I want them to have full functionality within serato i.e cue points, ID3 tag info, adding notes, colour coding etc...

Is this possible to protect the Hd in this way?

No Idea if you could handle it within Serato but it's not an easy thing because protect means encrypt it so it's only possible if you also have control over the Computer, too.

Better visit their Community there and ask that question again.

Just my 2 cent,

This has been asked previously, and it's not possible to be able to read the drive but also write and copy protect it.

You need to trust the guys working for you, simple as that!

AMEN to that that is why i work alone

could be possible if you had control over their whole computer system but being able to trust someone as well is the 1st step i would take i have about 7 TB just in my digital music collection most witch have been given to me in the past everyone needs to start somewhere but stealing from your employers library would not be the way to go about it also what software do you mainly use i see your just a home user since this year
 
DRM files....good luck on this.
 
I agree as I spent more money on music then the cost of my benze.. Lock down the drive is something that would be awesome. It would be cool. I wonder if you were to scan the music and then make it all invisible to see would virtual dj still have it in the folder or is there way to make a invisible folder with all the music that is not showing except through this program..
 
Yes it can be done... to a degree. I found a piece of software that creates an encrypted file that lets you treat it like a drive and it is protected by a "Disk Firewall". What this does is create a large file that is exposed as a mounted drive letter. This encrypted file can be on an external HD. You can tell the software to only allow VirtualDJ.exe access to the new drive letter (the content is music and videos). I don't care if anyone copies the huge encrypted file, they do not know the password to access the content. If any program, except VirtualDJ, including Windows Explorer, or even malware tries to access the drive, they get an access denied message. They program can be launched from the command prompt or graphically, but the password needs to be supplied. I created a program that mounts the encrypted drive with the"Disk Firewall" and the launcher securely supplies the password. Everything works... Until I realized that Virtual DJ it self lets you rename, delete, move, & copy files from WITHIN VIRTUAL DJ! If Virtual DJ would let me disable the file operations within the program then I am totally secure. Or maybe virtual DJ should only allow file operations if I supply a password.. some type of setting, then I would be totally secure.
