Hi there. Having a little issue here.
Mac Sequoia user. VDJ 2025. Fresh install.
Recently moved all my MP3s to my 'Music' folder from my 'Downloads' folder on my Mac.
I did this using VDJ's 'File Operations > Move to...' feature which worked fine until I opened VDJ again.
Now all those 1300+ items appear in their itunes playlists but VDJ still thinks they are in the 'Downloads' folder so won't give me analysed tracks.
If I relocate the files it works until I navigate away and back to this playlist. Very strange. It just won't update the tags properly?
I have tried doing a find and replace on the database.xml and this didn't find any wrong addresses.
I can send the whole itunes playlist to a VDJ List and it works fine.
My browser is not set to read only.
Anyone had this kind of behaviour before?
I don't really want to have to manually rebuild all my playlists inside VDJ. The itunes playlists are convenient as they auto update when I add things to the 'Music' app. Not sure how that's still working after all these years but hey.

Not sure why iTunes is involved here, but moving songs works fine on my end within VirtualDJ.
If you moved a song in VirtualDJ and the song is still playable from the iTunes playlists, it's most likely that you are accessing two different songs with the same name (iTunes should show the song as unlocatable as it isn't in thethe expected position).
VirtualDJ shouldn't go back to the old position, unless you are accessing a different file, or there was an issue when trying to update the database.xml on the drive you were doing the move from/to (and the entire operation should fail without updating anything in VirtualDJ's database).
Maybe check the permissions of af all VirtualDJ folders on all drives involved?
Just my opinion - the longer you stay with organizing playlists inside iTunes, the more restricted you will be - iTunes' organizations features are not comparable to VirtualDJ's feature set. If you want to migrate things later to some other software, there are tools for that - you could even write your own if you know what you are doing.
