if you copy from external hdd to external hdd, a simple drag/drop copy of EVERYTHING would do in most cases but some stuffs may be missing
specially attached cover links, linked videos, edited tracks & video links...

THE REAL BEST TOOL for this is Virtual DJ specially if transfert comes from internal hdd to external hdd :
select your original root folder and right click to "file operations" then "copy to..."
The new created external database will get everything updated from local database

you can use a text editor like Notepad++ and change the location in the database.xml file.

If you copied the database and the filename and size are the same then vdj will find the correct entry.
You just have to use Add to DB on the new location to have virtualdj know where the files are and it will correct the paths automatically

Hi
I bought a new computer and transferred all files and songs but I lost all my cues and labels
I tried to copy the data base from the old computer to the new one but I can't recover the cues and labels of the songs
Thank you in anticipation for any advice
