hi,
why has the program stopped saving my history files? it still accurately saves them in wordpad but it stopped converting them to xml files as of nov 7, 2008! in short, there is no history files after nov 7 2008 when i open 'history' within vdj. cue points and everything else are fine. but i need my history files! help!
i have tried reinstalling the program and doing a system restore (which actually didnt work on my comp). also, i dont know if this has to do with anything but i did move about 40 gigs from my harddrive to an external drive but i did that all internally through vdj. however, when i shut down my comp it said that some file had been corrupted... that was pretty much around the time it stopped saving the history.
i use windows xp on a gateway laptop
PLEASE HELP
thnks

what version are you working with?
And are you talking about the playlists? They are not XML files they are M3U files.
What do you mean by updates in wordpad? What is the name of the file you are looking at?
So can you be more specific on what you are experiencing and what you are looking at?

gladly,
i am working with 5.2.1 (the latest version)..
im not sure if id call them 'playlists', vdj calls the folder Tracklistings. these files can be found in
my documents> virtual dj> tracklisting> tracklist (notepad doc)
there are a bunch of 'mp3 audio playlist' files that are named according to date and at the very bottom there is one notepad file. they seem to correspond perfectly until nov 7.
after nov 7th there is only a txt log (in notepad) of the tracks i have played, this part works normally, BUT there is no more 'mp3 audio files' OR anything within the vdj history browser after that date. i need to figure out how to get that text from the notepad into the program again
sry bout the confusion
thnks

They are 'playlist' files.
How many files are in the folder?

Group your OLD into folders under the Playlist folder.
After moving the files - does it work again.

no.
when i move the mp3 audio playlist files to the playlist folder in my documents it just erases them from the history browser. no new entry for nov 17th when i play more music (except as a txt again)

was i supposed to move EVERYTHING into the playlist folder?

i guessing the mechanism that converts the music i play to 1) a text file and 2) a m3u file is faulty in the latter part of its functionality. im sure its more complicated then that but there has to be a simple reason why i can get accurate text recordings but no mp3 audio playlists.

SOLVED thnks alot man... i woulda never thought of that...
i just had to move EVERYTHING into my playlist folder (except the txt file... left that in my tracklisting folder). now my older history is in playlists.
then i just hit check and fix in the browser tab of vdj. it had something to do with moving that 40 gigs to the external (dont know what though)... i guess too many file paths were changed... maybe i just uncovered a bug??? lol
THANKS MAN
