Topic: trouble with transferring Cache mainly Transferring to new computer
I am trying to transfer to a new computer from old. I have followed instructions but having issues with the cache. My old computer had virtual dj in the User/micha/Documents/Virtualdj/cache but my new computer has User/LocalAdmin/AppData/local/Virtualdj
I transferred music to same folder from Old computer to New (no problems)
I transferred Karaoke to Same Drive as Old comptuer (No problem)
I followed instructions and finally found my "hidden" AppData folder, where my data, mappers, Playlist etc are located
My New computer is not finding my cache which I placed in the same folder as Old computer.

I know this is a lot and I've tried my best to follow the tutorials. I believe a lot of my issues are because I was using an older version of VDJ on old computer (which saved everthing in Documents folder and now it's the new version.
I'm willing to uninstall VDJ if necessary.
I made a current backup restore and thought it had worked well till I tried to play a cache song.
(PS , is there any way I can get a fresh list of my cached songs? )

Thanks in advance for all your help. Your support is the reason I stress to other DJs to purchase this software.

now over 600 views and not one post.
I'm just wanting my show backup computer to be like my current show computer in case of damage or failure. I would like to be able to install Virtual dj in the Documents/ Virtual dj folder but it's no longer there. Could I possibly install an older version that would install it in the Old Location : Documents/ Virtualdj ? Thanks for any help in this matter.

I just recently did this. I used an external HD copied all my songs over from inside the VDJ program. This kept all my play counts. I then zipped the VDJ folder and copied it to the new one and I only took from this my playlists, history and m3u files. Kept a few other files but not much. Whether this is right or wrong it worked for me. New laptop running perfect.
 
I also copied my stems too. Wasn't sure this would work but it did. New computer is a beast was gonna just do realtime stems but decided to keep pre computing them.
 
Without guarantee:
I seem to recall that during the initial installation, you could manually change the default installation path—either `C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\VirtualDJ` or `C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\VirtualDJ`—
to `...Documents\VirtualDJ`.
That way, everything would remain just as it was before!

(Option 2: After installation, via the Windows Registry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VirtualDJ
Modify the HomeFolder string.)
