Tema: Transferring Database from Computer 2 Computer

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I recently purchased a laptop on which I installed VDJ 4.3. It is running Vista Home Premium. I took a copy of the VDJ database from my main gig computer and placed it in my new laptop. I created a username that is identical to the one on my gig computer, so that i can use this database (I did this successfully once before). I renamed the existing databases on the new computer so that vdj can read only the transferred database. With me so far? (lol)

The problem? When I run VDJ, I get a "corrupted database" error message. After VDJ opens, none of the BPM information is listed. I selected a few songs and hit "analyze", but the only results were the length of the songs. No BPM info after analyzing. If i load a song on one of the decks, then the bpm info will show up. Am I missing out on something? I want to be able to transfer all of the BPM info from my gig computer onto my new laptop. Which is the best way to do this? Thanks.

By the way...My gig computer is running XP MCE.

XP & Vista store the infomation in different places, so you can't copy and paste into the same folders, although its not hard to do once you know how.

(C:) > Users > (your username) > AppData > Local > VirtualStore > Program Files > VirtualDJ

Is the location of the folders, copy them into here and it should work.

When you transfer your old database, erase your account name from file name, just leave "Virtual DJ database.xml" and put it in VDJ folder, and leave only one inside. It will automatically generate new database with your account name on Vista. If it remains corrupted, use this tool to repair it:

Alf, If I erase the account name from the file, will the BPM information still be transferred?

You are allowed to have VDJ on two computers, so I would leave it on both until after your files are transfered, then delete it from the old PC. I hope this helps. T

I definitely plan on removing it from my old laptop. I gave it to my daughter. Anyway, Gary...I did not see a VirtualDJ folder in that path that you mentioned. Could it be because I did not install it in the default location? VDJ is on my D:/, not my C:/.

Not sure where it will go if you don't install it in the default directory, vista seems to have its own rules with this kind of thing.

I'll have a look and get back

Yes, everything will be preserved.

Well, I figured it out, using DJ Alf's info. Vista does seem to use the same directory, but the username needs to be removed from the filename. All my BPM info is there. Awesome. Thanks to all who responded.
