You would be guessing right.

Huey, actually that's wrong.
If you are subscribed as a premium member. ALL audio files are from Grooveshark. The green tick inicates that the files are of good quality as they are supplied by the record label themselves.
Hope that helps.

I think what you are asking is that your Netsearch cache is saved to F: - by default. This is not possible.
As suggested though you can copy them to your USB drive and then use them on another machine.

you can mount a usb drive to that folder it will trick the app into storing it on your usb drive.

You can then copy or move the files to any folder or drive of choice. However, the re-authorization of the files still must be done on a regular basis without regard to where the files are located.
So, for example; I keep a copy of my cached files on an external drive and before I leave to do a gig, I reauthorize my local Cache folder then copy the files to my external drive folder. That way I know they are good for that night.

@djqwikcut, I'm certain there's freeware or shareware out there that can perform real time shadow copies of files/folders. That way as a new file is created or changed you can make a copy of it to your thumb drive.
At work I developed a system that needed to trigger events when a new file was created so I use software called "WatchDirectory". It's not free but it supports all windows "file" events such as new, change, delete and then triggers and event/process.
For yourself, this would be when a file is created (New download) or changed (renewed in cache) you could copy the file to your thumb drive.
You would then a simple windows script or batch file on the desktop of your other machine that would copy the files from the thumb drive to the cache folder - I'm sure you could play from your library while the copy is ongoing...
Cheers,
Roy

Not to knock it but this seems like a hassle by having to reauthorize files etc... This reminds me of Microsoft's WMA that didn't do well at all do to it's DRM (Digital Rights Management). I honestly believe it's better to be on some online record pools where you have subscriptions and can search them then download and KEEP the file you request. If you're online anyway so why not do it that way? 8thwonder/VideoToolz is great and that's just one of the many out there. It sounds like NetSearch might have a broader search base though as it resembles the TouchTunes Juke Box system a little bit in how it operates. I'll watch the forums and see how people like it before I commit myself. Although, I hate hooking my DJ laptop to the internet as that is asking to receive a virus at a GIG. Say that happens then what do you do? I've seen it happen to others and it wasn't pretty. I might get one of the clubs I work in to purchase it as their pc is stationary so no need to reauthorize files. Any thoughts? It is a feature you can use or not use regardless the software is still great. Thanks Atmoix for making a great piece a software which you are always trying hard to improve upon.

Not much of a hassle given the low monthly price

Yes, but someone could get a month's subscription, download thousands of songs then unsubscribe. That's not good business.

Me too, but since I've just left my gig I probably won't ever DJ again

Just use the connection for Netsearch and keep off the web. XP Sp3 onwards has a decent enough firewall anyway, and you can install AVG free which would be a decent enough barrier.

You need to reauthorise every 30 days whether the PC is stationary or not.

WHen do you do DURING an EVENT.. lets say you are using the online service and have CACHED a few songs... now the laptop goes down and you want to switch to backup.. NOW, I am on the new laptop and the event is going on .. I now need the songs in my cache. WHAT do I do? I cant copy DURING an ewent.. of course I can re-download them again..
Everyone keeps saying to copy them BUT during an event that isnt practical...

As I think farhanashraf :so if i really dont use netsearch, its kinda pointless to upgrade from 6.0.8 to 6.1?

speaking of netsearch.. HOW does the song suggestion thing work?? It suggested to me some songs during the event? is that computer generated or is someone typing that in?

Only if you are in that big of a bind then you didn't prepare well enough to do your event. Sorry, to sound blunt like that - but it is the reality of what you are asking -- and even more so since you already answered your own dilemma ...
djqwikcut wrote :

But, then again; I don't have problems copying files on my systems when running VirtualDJ at a gig ... so for me, I would make a copy of the files IF I downloaded one during a gig.

And again - as given to the originator of that mantra - if you think that just because of 1 feature you should not upgrade to the LATEST version then that is your choice ... but before you make a comment or submit a ticket on a problem with the older version you chose to run - then you need to update to the latest version before doing so.

The song suggestions is not part of NetSearch - it is part of the Music Groups feature from VirtualDJ and it is automated based on the contributions provided to those groups. Looking at the highest percentage of when a particular title was play after the currently playing title.

use an iPod like I do populated with a playlist for that venue, on standby from my mixing board to deal with this when or if it happens.
This is part of preparation, cus yah neveh noh....

Right. I wouldn't have updated to 6.1 if I wasn't interested in the new netsearch capabilities.
