go to
programfiles/virtualdj
and open Virtual Dj database.xml
in text editor
you should see songs are like this
<Song FileName="DJ N'Erick feat. DJ Style - Satisfaction.mp3" FileSize="5572230" TagDate="511180255">
<Infos SongLength="15357312" Date="511180254" />
<BPM Bpm="18634" Phase="5077" />
<FAME IsScanned="1" Flag="7" Volume="6108" />
<Automix MixType="3" TempoStart="1346732" TempoEnd="13868780" CutStart="154176" CutEnd="14605024" FadeStart="26112" FadeEnd="14776320" />
</Song>
look for any songs which do not have the
</song> tag and add it
this can some times not be added some times if vdj doesnt close correctly
and this causes the database to currupt

all the songs look the same it's just that there's not many of them at all, and even that song there isn't showing up as analysed when i actually turn virtual dj on. thanks again for helping by the way

USe this:
http://www.xmlvalidation.com/
You need to find the Virtual DJ Database.xml file in the installation directory and use the "or upload it" and click validate. If there are any glaring errors, it should find it.
Don't know how well it works because I malformed my xml intentionally in things that could go wrong and it didnt detect any of them. Only problem is better xml validators will give you alot of error which wont make sense unless you understand the xml standard properly and dtd validations. This is the only one i found quickly that checks syntax only if no dtd is specified.

my database is corrupted, all code is correct i checked it and brought to several xml websites all is in order. if i shut down vdj it says saving database however it does not. once it is shut down i delete the database, vdj will not make a new database even if i make comments cues or anything for it to save. i have uninstalled vdj and installed it again and nothing seems to work. installing vdj on my computer is the only way to make the database file come back. i am using vdj 3.1.4 with a hercules djc on windows vista please help someone im at a loss ...........if someone is willing to look at the freashly installed code of the database file i could post it up here just to make sure it is perfect and not corrupt (the code is untouched from the installiation)

I also am getting this error. I followed all the steps listed and using MK2. ran it in the validate xml file web site listed and it finds no errors. but I still get this error. is it safe to delete out all the songs? or how do I extract just the data base file out of the exe and just copy the new one in?

Hi, I was getting this message also when starting Virtual DJ software,
I located the virtual database.xml file as mentioned previously, copied it and save to desktop then deleted the original in the virtual dj folder.
When I restarted the application no error message.
I played a few songs, then shut it down. Usual saving database message displayed itself.
I then checked in the virtual dj folder and a new virtual database.xml file was created.. ;)
Restarted the application and the bpm details were saved for the songs I played.
Happy days...
Hope this helps.
