Iam realy starting to like this program. But I have a strange problem. Some songs wont load. Why is that? I tried scaning the song and it wont do that either.
I know the song is just fine because it play's in winamp and others. It don't matter about the bit rate either. 128 160 192.... it dont matter (I started a long time ago and I have alot at 128. One day I will re rip them to 192CBR)
This is not a good thing. I would hate to be at a dance and the "special" request wont load.
I'm playing around with 4.0
I do notice something strange. All the songs that wont play all have a #38 in the title, even though #38 is not in the title. Just Virual is reading it that way.
I also notice that it is all the songs that have "&" in the title.
Virtual is reading it like this ---- C & C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat.mp3
Is there a fix for this? I have alot of songs that have "&" in the title.
Thanks in advance

have you tried renaming the offending tracks? It may be a filesystem error, rather than a VDJ problem

Yes they are all .mp3 and I made the rips myself. Just won't play in Virtual. I been trying a bunch of software over the last few days and I really like this one the best (so far), And they all play fine.
I tried changing the file name (not the tag) and the song loaded and played fine.
I would think that this is a bug. If I stay with Virual I will have to rename all files that have "&" to "and". Pain in the butt but what do you do.

have you tried lowering the proformance tab?

Windows uses the & character to select keyboard hotkeys (like in the start menu where programs has the P underlined) so if you have the ampersand in the filename this can confuse programs.
This is more a problem with Microsoft than a fault of Atomix, I think. It is a pain, I agree, but if you have software such as Tag&Rename, this will automatically replace or remove characters that will cause these difficulties.
Hope you decide to stick with VirtualDJ.
