Use larger pixel or good resolution pics that u may find. If the pixel of the selected image is small n u tried to resize it to larger, it will not werk as it been stretch and as known anything u take from web is only 72dpi. So the good way is to find a pics that is larger so when u resized it to small, the image will not look blurry or better yet scan it;)

My bad, as earlier i said that u could scan it..sorry. I only use this feature when it was first implemented n i know that u could take the pics from web. Did not use the album art now. N ur question is not stupid either;)
U could find a better resolution pic around the web n attached it. In VDJ, go to the selected track, click to file info, see the cover box, click on it n ur mac should be online for it to automatically search for a pic. then click on any of the options to attached it to the track, and u're done;)
Regards.

any more help with this?
it seems shit that a free program like itunes has incredible looking (an automatic album art) even a seperate pop up box for it too, yet i have paid about £160 for virtual DJ where it just looks like fuzzy crap.

One thing you could do is make sure that your files have artist and song titles typed appropriately (e.g. Bob Sinclair, not bOb SyncLairR). Odd formatting often occurs with downloaded files, so editing the ID3 and file names could help you get more, possibly better results (you may have already done this, though.).
Keep in mind that the goal of VDJ is not to display album artwork, but to focus on loading, playing, and scratching music and video files as quickly as possible. Higher quality images contain more pixel data, and thus, when loaded, would consume more of your CPU and RAM resources. I would assume that album artwork was not a main goal of the VDJ's original objective. Also, do you select songs via the album artwork? If so, you may want to consider sorting the songs by BPM and using the text-based part of the interface.
Good luck,

I personally find cover flow more of a novelty. If you have 12 tracks all from the same album you're more or less stuck with the same image for every song. It's neat and all to have the cover flow but I find it just slows down the searching process. I know a lot of DJ's often remember tracks more easily with the visual of an album cover (especially the old school vinyl guys) but I think the best way is to train your brain to think of songs by title rather than visually, I think you'll find it better in the long run.

yeah i agree its not exactly main priority etc, no i don't want it for search at all, but whatever i am playing its just nice to see the album artwork up there somewhere, i remmber some cheap freebie mac software had the album art automatically appear over the spinning vinyl as the track played, or a seperate box somewhere that just showed the artwork for whatever track is playing (might be nice to sometimes outpout that to screen in club too)

Hi, I attached a screenhshot (see below).
Virtual DJ seems to generate covers for tracks that don't have a cover. But the text there is really crappy.
Why is the text so crappy? Can this be changed? I'd like to have the font in higher resolution / font size.

In my experience, to get Virtual DJ to show the iTunes artwork, you have to go to the track in iTunes, bring up its information (right click), got to the artwork tab and copy & paste the artwork back in. Its my understanding that when iTunes downloads the artwork from the store or if you download the song its self from the store, the artwork is there but its not attached to the ID3 tag. Copying and pasting the artwork back in seems to correct this and means that Virtual DJ can display it.
I noticed this when I realised that any artwork I'd added myself would show, but any artwork downloaded from the store or that came with the song bought from the store wasn't showing.
The 600x600 artwork from iTunes always displays quite nicely under VDJ. I've found that artwork thats a lot bigger in both size and DPI can cause a brief pause whilst loading it when you do a search.
Hope this helps!

I've been spinning since the 80's (old school vinyl guy). Old dog don't want no new tricks just solid performance from my VDJ. I know we are in a digital age even though the parts are made from analog components (smile). in short just make it work.

Hi, i am harsh choksi. Well i am here to share you what i have learn upto from this powerful dj software regarding the"art of mixing and recording" using vdj. For kind imformation i want to tell you that i am not a proffesional dj. Remixing is just passion of mine. So, here we go.
We have two desk telling you about two desk vdj skin mean to say for beginner's one. We have two song on this two desk and crossfader but it's to note that before you move from one song to another. You must keep bpm at same rate doing so both song play at same tempo. Note that waveform of each song must sync or lap with each other.
After it allow your crossfade to move from one song to another and feel smoothness of beat.
Record it your own mix clicking record button, create file and record it. Try it may this found helful
Plz, do'nt forget to feedback me on my mail ******@*********
