This is common problem. Sometimes the iTunes playlists are not shown.
If you get 'Error' when trying to load a song onto a deck, then it most cases this means that the entry for the song in your VirtualDJ database is no-longer valid.This is usually caused by either moving, renaming or deleting the song outside of VirtualDJ, so the entry in its database no-longer points to a valid file.
- Topic: Itunes Playlists not showing up - Page: 1 PennDJ PRO Infinity Member since 2012 I am no longer seeing my Itunes playlists in Virtual DJ Pro7 I had tried to move my Itunes Library to an external HD which worked fine for Itunes, but Virtual DJ was unable to find the playlists.
- At the heart djay Pro is an innovative DJ Software with a modern user interface that provides flexible layers of functionality alongside a powerful music library into a single window interface.
Why?
Because VirtualDJ uses the file 'Itunes Music Library.xml'.
If the user changes the home folder of iTunes, then (for some unknown reason) it renames the library to 'iTunes Library.xml'. VirtualDJ can't recognize this library.
To fix follow this steps:
For Pro Full Users
- Make a backup of the file iTunes Library.itl (stored on the home folder of iTunes).
- Ensure that iTunes is closed, then rename the file ITunes Library.itl to iTunes Music Library.itl
- Now it's the time to select the correct database:
- If you are using Windows, hold down the SHIFT key and open iTunes. Then click on 'Choose Library' and select the file: iTunes Music Library.itl
- If you are using the Mac, hold down the OPTION key and open iTunes. Then click on 'Choose Library' and select the file:
iTunes Music Library.itl
- If you are using Windows, hold down the SHIFT key and open iTunes. Then click on 'Choose Library' and select the file: iTunes Music Library.itl
- Close iTunes. The file 'iTunes Music Library.xml' will be generated automatically and VirtualDJ will recognize the playlist.
- If not, use the Registry Tool and check that the home folder of iTunes is correct and it's selected what you chose in the previous steps, as shown in the image below.
For LE (Limited Edition) Users
For LE users, the path for the iTunes Library can not be changed. VirtualDJ LE will always look for the library.xml file in the default position.
To fix that ...
1. Copy the iTunes music library.itl file and paste it on to UsersMusicitunes folder
