Also, if you use an external drive, the xml file will be located in the root of that drive (ex. VirtualDJ Database v6.xml) and does not need to be moved. If the files are being combined onto one drive, I'm not sure it's possible to "join" the xml files (I've never tried), but perhaps someone in the forums might know a way.

I have done it. With an text editor you have to replace the drive letter on both drives with the drive letter of the new drive. Than copy/paste the content of one .xml file into the other .xml file.
example: let's say you have 2 drives, 'E' & 'F' and you want to copy music on the new drive 'D'
in the 'VirtualDJ Local Database v6.xml' file you have this info:

on drive E :

<Song FilePath="E:\Mp3\ROSES OF RED.mp3" FileSize="3651419">
<Display Author="The Kelly Family " Title="Roses Of Red " Album="Over The Hump " Year="1995" Cover="2" Tag="1" />
<Infos SongLength="10063872" FirstSeen="511130209" FirstPlay="511130209" LastPlay="909191434" PlayCount="1" Bitrate="128" />
<BPM Bpm="26461" Phase="10435" />
<FAME IsScanned="510" Volume="4718" Key="Am" />
<Automix CutStart="63296" CutEnd="9178752" FadeStart="61440" FadeEnd="9445376" RealStart="61440" RealEnd="9986048" />
<Cue Num="0" Name="Cue 1" Pos="63110" />
</Song>

on drive F :

<Song FilePath="F:\Mp3\N-Trance - Set you free (amsterdam mix).mp3" FileSize="5542789">
<Display Author="N-Trance" Title="Set you free (amsterdam mix)" Genre="Dance" Color="14156373" Cover="2" Tag="1" />
<Infos SongLength="12221568" FirstSeen="708202015" Bitrate="160" />
<BPM Bpm="18858" Phase="11816" />
<FAME IsScanned="510" Volume="3735" Key="Fm" />
<Automix MixType="3" TempoStart="1237377" TempoEnd="10383503" CutStart="1237056" CutEnd="11627808" FadeStart="270336" FadeEnd="11890688" RealStart="24576" RealEnd="12070912" />
</Song>

You have to replace 'E' & 'F' drive letters with 'D' drive letter assuming that the new hard drive has D drive letter. Than merge the two 'VirtualDJ Local Database v6.xml' files. In the new 'VirtualDJ Local Database v6.xml' file that is located on 'D' drive you will have this info:

<Song FilePath="D:\Mp3\ROSES OF RED.mp3" FileSize="3651419">
<Display Author="The Kelly Family " Title="Roses Of Red " Album="Over The Hump " Year="1995" Cover="2" Tag="1" />
<Infos SongLength="10063872" FirstSeen="511130209" FirstPlay="511130209" LastPlay="909191434" PlayCount="1" Bitrate="128" />
<BPM Bpm="26461" Phase="10435" />
<FAME IsScanned="510" Volume="4718" Key="Am" />
<Automix CutStart="63296" CutEnd="9178752" FadeStart="61440" FadeEnd="9445376" RealStart="61440" RealEnd="9986048" />
<Cue Num="0" Name="Cue 1" Pos="63110" />
</Song>

<Song FilePath="D:\Mp3\N-Trance - Set you free (amsterdam mix).mp3" FileSize="5542789">

There is also a free program called "xml marker" that you can use to edit xml files, if you want. This is what I use to customize my skins ;)
 
Or you use a editor which has syntax highlightning like http://www.pspad.de

If you use search & replace think of using a pattern which match only to the path, like:

serach for: c:\mp3 and replace it by f:\mp3

we had a german user in the forum who replaced all c to f - So every title chande from
Call on me to Fall on me ;-))

Why does Virtual DJ rearrange my files. They're in alphabetical order on my hard drive but when i open those files in virtual dj, they're all over the place and it makes finding tracks a nightmare?

Also why does it not show track listings on some albums?
 
By default, songs are sorted by when they were last played (Songs you have already played in the current set are moved right to the bottom.) You can sort the songs by any other order by clicking on the header of a column, e.g: Artist or BPM

NOTE: Sort order is not remembered when you close VirtualDJ, but it is possible to force a default via the registry.


For files to show correctly in the VirtualDJ browser, please ensure the following:

(1) The files are tagged correctly (I.e: ID3 tags in MP3 files for Artist,Title, etc.)

(2) They are named in the industry standard format Artist - Title

E.g: ABBA - Dancing Queen.mp3

(NOTE: If the files are tagged correctly, then the file name does not matter.)
