Oh I dunno... I found a 32GB one on Ebay for around £40... quite tempted myself!
 
Since VDJ loads the song into memory and isn't streaming the song as it plays, any USB drive will do. I've used flash drives in a pinch and they work great!
 
yea i have used a flash drive myself it was a Kingston. I just used it to test the program.
 
If I Have Virtual DJ on my flash drive how do I download it? I have a Mac...
 
Download Home FREE from http://www.virtualdj.com/download/free.html and save it to your flash drive.

Then plug it into your Mac, double-click on the flash drive's icon and then double-click on the Home FREE installation file to install it. Follow the on-screen instructions. For further info, please see the user manuals for further instructions: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/PDFManuals.html

NOTE: If your Mac is directly Internet connected, you can download Home FREE directly from the link above.

NOTE: You cannot run VirtualDJ directly from a flash drive. It must be properly installed on your computer.
 
I have VDJ LE that came with my Denon 6000. After trying out the 20 day Pro trial, I will probably buy the upgrade to Pro version. I would rather not get on the internet with my "DJing computer". Can I purchase the Pro version from my other (more internet-friendly) computer, download it onto a flash drive, then upload it from my flash drive onto my other comp? And the same question for efx, skins, etc that I would want to download? Is that possible or will I have to hook up my DJing comp to the internet for the upgrade and downloads?
Thanks in advance!

no
 
Ok, great! I will try this out today and hopefully work through some of these glitches. I gotta get this working properly so that I can have the confidence (in my equipment, not myself) to start soliciting and drumming up some work. This equipment won't pay for itself just sitting in my room glitching out ;-)
 
If you are running a fully patched version of Windows with firewall enabled then I don't see there being an issue using your gig machine to access specific safe sites (eg. VirtualDJ.com)

You should really update Windows with the security patches regularly anyway.

I have one of these for back up.
 
personally i wouldnt use a usb fash drive, go for an SDHC card and save on a usb port. they are available up to 128gb.
