Create Virtual Folder
A virtual folder is a special folder that exists only in the VirtualDJ database. They allow you to organise your music library without moving the actual songs on your hard disk or creating duplicate files.
A song can be added to multiple filter folders (E.g: 80's and Party), but there will only be one actual file on your hard disk, saving disk space.
To create a virtual folder:
IMPORTANT: When removing songs from your playlist or sidelist, make sure that you don't drag them back to the main song list window if you currently have virtual folder selected. If you do this, then the song will be added to the virtual folder, which may result in unwanted or inappropriate songs in the virtual folder. Please see: Songs keep appearing in my virtual folders that shouldn't be there, e.g: There are rock songs in my R'n'B folder
