it seems everytime i restart VDJpro there is some information missing from many of my tracks. sometimes its something from the comments section. today i had to rescan the BPM for a ton of tracks. usually when i start up i reload my itunes playlist and then the newer stuff i have added ill have to scan for BPMs etc. i found it really weird that a ton of my tracks were missing this information. does anyone know why this might happen and how it can be avoided. its really a pain. thanks.

Please check the permissions on your VirtualDJ folder are set correctly:
* Go to the /users/YOURNAME/Documents folder and right-click (CMD+click) on the VirtualDJ folder (Or /users/YOURNAME/Library/VirtualDJ if you have VirtualDJ v7.0.3 or above.)
* Choose Get Info from the pop-up menu.
* In the bottom right corner of the Get Info dialog, click on the pad-lock icon and unlock it (You will be prompted for your user password.)
* Then just above that to the left is the Permissions list. Make sure that your user account has Read/Write permissions set.
* Just below the Permissions box there is a button with a gear graphic on it - Click on it and choose the 'Apply to all included' items.
* Once changed, close the Get Info dialogue box to apply the changes.
NOTE: If you use external drives, you will also need to do the above for each external drive, if you have any.
NOTE: If your external drive is PC NTFS formatted, then VirtualDJ will not be able to write to it and save your database information. The drive must either be natively formatted for Mac use only, or if you wish to also use it on a PC, it must be formatted FAT32. Mac can't write to PC NTFS formatted drives.
