Hello
I have my music in no specific order till now, for example I got a folders that say traxsource june 2012 , itunes store, etc because most of the time I'm in a hurry, but I would like organize my music into more specific folders in example, House Music, Mainstream Radio, 70s 80s etc, the thing is I've created some virtual folders in vdj containing some specific set selections, the question is
if I move and erase folders will virtual dj maintain the stored data like cues, tags corrections and bpm scans?
another question about the virtual folders I've created I want to keep those folders the way they are, how do I tell virtual dj to re scan for missing files or it will automatically find them?
what would be the best way to do this?
thanks in advance

if you move the files within the vdj browser by highlighting then draging and dropping by holding ctrl the track information will remain, but unfortunately your virtual folders wont update, so will just be dead links.
you could make playlists with the current virtual folders, then use the playlist fixer plugin to fix it after moving. I have never used it though so can't promise it will work.
You should also consider using filter folders, they are very powerful.

Not true. Virtual Folders will be updated as well.
In general if you re organize your Music Library using File Operations within VirtualDJ, your database, Virtual Folders and Filter folders will also be updated.
The only parts that wont be updated are the Playlists.

Ok let me see if I understood this
I was about to organize my folders using the pc explorer you know "normal way" just creating the new folders and then moving the files to them.
what you say is that I should open the virtual dj program and do all the job navigating, creating and deleting files or folders using the virtual dj browser as it was the regular pc explorer? and then all the virtual folders will automatically update?
I dont mind if playlists don't update because they only appear at my laptop so I dont use them very often, and I have my music on an external hardrive, so sometimes when I got to play to specific club where they have virtual dj I don't need to carry my laptop and wiring and controller etc etc, I just carry my hardrive and plug it to the club's Computer and start playing instantly, that's the main reason why I started creating virtual folders instead of just playlists, that's why I need this virtual folders to stay the way the are,
about the filters they might be useful if you're sure all your music is tagged correctly, (genres or even names) but sometimes I buy songs from a digital store and they come up with just a bunch of numbers and parts of the name of the song, so I have to retag this files, also
not always I have the time to sit and organize by genres, most of the time I just take a quick listen of the songs I want to play or what I have been requested to play,
the virtual folders became a powerful tool for me more than filters and playlists because of what I mentioned before about going into a club or party with just my hardrive
Thank's to all for your help in this subject
I will start trying your recomendations

one more question
it might be a new topic but it's just a simple question
is there a plugin or interface where you can hide the name of the track being played?
is very frustrating when you spend time and money getting tracks and when you are at the event you have people behind you writing the names of the songs you're playing to download them from the internet, I know this might sound a bit arrogant...but I wanted to ask anyway
thanks

Just modify the skin XML to remove the artist and title. This has been discussed before so do a forum search.
