Import from Virtual DJ then Export Back to Virtual DJ?
Hey there,
Just signed up for Mixo "Gold" and going slowly so I don't mess anything up! So far, so good.
A couple observations, then some questions!
I've imported a bunch of playlists from VDJ into Mixo and have done some basic cleanup of Metadata, Fixed a bunch of file names, just general "cleanup" type stuff.
Some of the files did NOT import successfully from VDJ (They showed up in Mixo, inside the original VDJ playlist, but the file could not be found). These files play just fine in VDJ. Why are some files being ignored even though I can see them in Mixo, but can't play them? (these are MP3s in most cases, so I don't think it's a file problem)
Now that I've done some cleanup...I want to bring those changes BACK into VDJ. But I already have the same playlists in VDJ (because I exported from VDJ in the first place).
So, when I hit the "export" button, it places an XML file into a directory, and then places the playlists in a subfolder a bunch of .m3u files.
My questions:
Why aren't some files able to be found upon import into Mixo when I import the playlists from VDJ?
After I export the new xml file and new playlists, the directions say I should REPLACE my database.xml with the newly generated one. Will that update my VDJ library with all the changes I just made in Mixo (renaming files, etc).
And in my "native" VDJ directory, the folder called "MyLists" are all named "*.vdjfolder" not "*.m3u". If I drop the .m3u files into the same folder as the ".vdjfolder" files, am I going to see duplicates of the playlists? I believe VDJ has switched to the "vdjfolder" and moved away from the ".m3u" structure for playlists.
I'm not in a position to test some of this in fear making some major work for myself if this screws up my playlist structure.
See screenshots for my "native" VDJ folder and then the playlist folder that Mixo creates, which is comprised of .m3u playlist format. Hope this makes sense! Lots of questions as a new user.
