it just friezes up for no apparent reason and quits, which is awesome mid set.

i thought it might be collapsing under the pressure of searching my itunes library so i deleted itunes and transfered all my mp3's to serato but it's still doing it.

there doesn't appear to be any obvious reason for it doing it. everything else is always off on my laptop when running serato.

What are your computer specs? Also - are you running Video SL or just Audio?

Are you using an external HD? How full are your drives (internal and external).

Everything looks fine. I believe it is corrupt files within your library causing this. Are you sure you have analyzed all files and deleted ALL the corrupt ones?

Did you make sure to delete ALL the corrupt files? Even if they are just sitting there and not being played - this could cause the crashes.
whoopie fuckin goldberg 2:59 AM - 24 November, 2009
yeah all the corrupt files were permanantly deleted

TRY THIS:

Close down SSL.
Go to the Internal HDs Music folder. Give all these ScratchLIVE folders a diff name (ANY NAME)

Open the SSL program.
It should be empty.
Make one crate and drag one song into it - then close down SSL.

Go to the internal HDs Music folder and go into the ScratchLIVE folder you renamed. Go into the Subcrates folder - highlight everything and copy it.

Go to the NEW ScratchLIVE folder that was created and go into the Subcrates folder in there. Delete the one crate that is in there and paste the rest you copied.

Open SSL - let it scan tags and see if this fixes the issue.

Then you did not follow my instructions correctly.

Please retrace your steps and make sure you did not skip anything.
