Apologies for the basic question, but after reading the userguide, and searching I can't find the answer.
So, after installing VDJ, and scanning my music folder for BPM, etc - I then add some new tracks. 'Recurse' reads the tags and adds them, but when I click analyse, it does the entire library again. How do I keep the library up to date without having to scan my entire database everytime?

or if you dont want to install the library plugin. just make a filter folder and call it files to be scanned & use filter isscanned=0 Displays all files in the database that have not been analyzed... its what i do....so every tyme i add new music i click on this folder & add to database all those added new files & then i analyze them

As mentioned above I would definately recommend you get the 'my library' plug in. I find it very useful.

Agreed I only use the database aspects but still find it invaluable.
It should be part of the install.

Thanks, got the MyLibrary plugin, and that does the job. I agree, I am surprised VDJ doesn't do this as standard.

Or you could have right clicked on the browser columns and select bpm and click on it and find which songs don't have a bpm yet select them and analyze them. that usually works too. That's how i do it.

I use a filter folder set up to show unscanned files. Simply click on that, highlight all the resulting files then analyse.
If there are only a few, then just playing them will do the job.

Tip:
You don't have to recurse your drives/ folders.
Just rightclick on the drive/ folder and select 'add to searchDB'.
Tip2:
Enable the option 'autoSearchDB'.
New tracks will then automatically be added to the search db if you browse to the folder.

Agree, I do not ever recurse or add anything to search db, I rip my CD's on a different laptop (because dj laptop has no optical drive) I then just move them using external hard drive and drag and drop them into music folder, they are instantly in VDJ. I have to change folder then change back and they are there.
In terms of finding unscanned songs, I just sort by bpm and they are all at the bottom.

This is what I do. I can do that on an existing folder that I added music to, and then search for * (asterisk) and sort by BPM. The tracks without BPMs will sort to bottom, either way. Easy to group select them and scan.
