i recently used a friends hardrive whilst DJing using my virtual dj software. so this added all of his tunes to my existing database. The problem is it has doubled up loads of tunes that are no longer on there as i have now given it back to him. So now when i search a tune it comes up with maybe 3 different versions but only one works.
if it was just a couple of tunes i would delete them individually but we are talking about maybe 10,000 track names that do not exist.
i was thinking it wold be bet to erase the data base and then open up up virtual dj again as normal and carry on with the existing tunes in my itunes.
failing any ideas I was going to remove and re instal virtual dj, which seems a bit drastic!
I did try the bit where it clears any files that do not exist but it didnt seem to work.
Thanks in advance

Tried that, but it makes no difference at all, all the track titles are still there!!

The fact that you don't have that external drive anymore, might not work as per message above.
But there should a way to do this in a more scientific way, and that i don't know, maybe some will help...
Otherwise highlight the tracks that receives error message when loading or the ones you know it's not there anymore then right click then remove from search database.

I am also wondering how to erase the entire data base and start new. where are these files located?

I would say delete the xml file from your hard drive. Then right click on the drive in VDJ and select Add to search DB. Should be as good as new.

Do not do this unless you want to re-analyze your music.....

Similar problem for me. One of my hard drives crashed so I can't delete the XML file on the drive and there are too many songs indexed to manually use the right-click "remove from database" option. I'm stuck. Nothing in the User Manual about it.

did you happen to right click on your mates drive and add it to search database, if so do the opposite and delete or remove from search database, you will see a list of drives in the tree to the left of your browser select the one not used anymore.
hope it helps.

Found a fix for clearing the database entirely, even if you no longer have the previously indexed drive.
WARNING: This will clear the ENTIRE database and you will have to reindex, BPMs and all.
In the search window, type one letter of the alphabet at a time, starting with the letter "A", then SELECT ALL on every result, right-click and choose "remove from database." Do this with every letter of the alphabet and you will have a clean slate to start with.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you were right Tony. I erased everything by letter and I added again all the folder to database and all the operation took only 5 minutes. great! Thanks!
