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.

Have you Analyzed all your files and deleted all the corrupt ones?

yup all file are analyzed and no corrupt files. any other ideas? currently saving for a new mac book pro but until that point i've got a two year old mac book running osx 10.4.11 which should be enough right?

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).

mac book

processor 2.16 Ghz intel core 2 duo

memory 1 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

iv got the usb set at 15 the audio cache set at 30 and the screen updates at 30

i use the internal hd and its got 97 gigs used and 60 odd free

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?

i went through and deleted found a dozen or so corrupt files hopefully that sorts it out. cheers

It should def. help.

it's still shutting down randomly for no apparent reason. i'v verified the disk and gotten rid of everything thats unnecessary but it's still giving me grief

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.

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.

o.k. now its saying it can't find any of the files

Then you did not follow my instructions correctly.

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