Since the pre-release I have increased my folders, music database both locally and cached on VDJ8, is there a way to keep VDJ7 in sync or updated, so in the event I have to use VDJ7 I have all the same cached files and folders?

I am in the same EXACT boat as you my friend... Until there is a better solution, here is what I do:
Keep the focus on V7. Make sure that is the primary one that you maintain and do your info updates here. Then when you are ready to bring those changes to V8, delete the database file within the VirtualDJ folder which is created by V8. That will force a rebuild of the file based on your V7 database (if it exists.)
Now, if you make any changes to your V8 directly (colors, etc.), these would be lost since those are not maintained.
Not bad, not great... But it works!

Just what I was going to say!
It's standard M.O. for new versions of software to read files from older ones, but not vice versa.

Shoulda done it the other way around! :-P
You were aware that VDJ 8 was pre-release, and even now it's fully released there's still a disclaimer about relying on it.
You might be able to get away with renaming the database file from the 8 name to the 7 name - but I don't know if it'll work so that's at your own risk.

I would have loved for both to co-exist and have V7 just ignore the extra fields, however that's just a dream.
