No.. SSL can house as many files as you throw at it.. although the more music and crates you add to SSL the slower your system might become.

Is the missing music coming up pink or is it just not there?

If its pink try using the 'relocate lost files' feature --> serato.com

If its simply not showing up then just re-import it.

There are not pink they just are not there and when I add all of my music into the libarary the databasev2 file get corrupted

How are you determining that the database is getting corrupt?

Serato crashes while trying to load in the libarary and when that happened before I fixed it by creating a new databasev2

I'm guessing you have MP4 files your trying to import.
Try NOT importing any video files.

Most of the mp4s are there and already work but I will do the mp3 first

Cool.. let us know. If the issues only occur when importing video files I'll refer you to the VSL pros at Serato.

It's not the videos it still crashes

Is it crashing when importing one audio file?

If so, if you import the file from your internal drive does it still crash?

The internal works and the old external stuff works its just trying to add the rest of the hdd when it crashes

If you just import one new file does it crash?

Is that the crash report from a crash that occurred when importing one of your new files?

No this is from when Serato was just starting and loading in the library

If you import one new file from your external do you still experience this crash?

It crashes on start up I never get the chance to import a new file

Ok..

Open your external.
Rename the entire _Serato_ folder by adding a number 1 to the end of it.
Create a new folder on the root of your external and name it _Serato_.
Open the _Serato_1 folder, copy your Subcrates folder, and paste it into the newly created
_Serato_ folder.
Now open SSL.

Any luck?

no luck still crashed

It works without my hdd connected

How is your external drive formatted?

1. Ctrl+click on your external hard drive icon that is sitting on your desktop.
2. Choose 'Get Info'.
3. Look under 'Format' to see the format of your drive.

Mac OS Extended Journaled

Try reverting to an older version of SSL.
Maybe 2.0.
All can be found here --> serato.com

Once installed, open SSL without your external plugged in, go to Setup, and make sure your in fact using 2.0.

Then try plugging in your external drive.

Does it mount?

2.0 was more stable than 2.3 but it still crashes eventually.

What are you doing when 2.0 crashes?

Ok well 2.0 magically works now .... Tho it crashes when I close it

Crashing when closing is usually due to a corrupt databaseV2 file.
Try rebuilding it again.

Can I change it back to 2.3.3 now ??? because I need it to work with a sl4 sl3 and a 68

OK will report back when done

Give it a shot. 2.1.1 and higher will work with the SL3 and Sixty Eight.
2.2.2 or higher is what you need for the SL4.

Ok

2.0 still crashes but takes alot longer before it crashes. I have to DJ tonight so im going to run without the HDD and then I will try to get this to work again on sunday

How did running without the external go?

Went great club was packed until close. However I had to severely restrict my setlist which was saddening.

Ok.. so there is something on the external, or the external itself, causing an issue.

Do you have access to a PC computer?
If so, I would like to check to see if there are any hidden folders on the drive.

Plug into a PC and do this:

1. Click on the 'Start' menu.
2. Click on the 'Control Panel'.
3. Make sure your in 'Classic' view (if your not in Classic view you will see a link on the left of the browser that says 'Switch to Classic View').
4. Click on 'Folder Options'.
5. Click on the 'View' tab.
6. Check the 'show hidden files and folders' option.

Now open your external on the PC and you'll be able to see any hidden files on your external. If you have any they will look grayed out.

If you see any hidden ScratchLIVE or Serato folders please copy them to the desktop of the PC and delete them from your external.

Once done, plug the drive back into your Mac and do this again:

Open your external.
Rename the entire _Serato_ folder by adding a number 1 to the end of it.
Create a new folder on the root of your external and name it _Serato_.
Open the _Serato_1 folder, copy your Subcrates folder, and paste it into the newly created
_Serato_ folder.
Now open SSL.

Test.
Let me know how you get along.

Ok will do

The Hdd is formatted to the mac and is not visible on my pc

Ok.. then there won't be any hidden folders on it.
If doing this doesn't help:

Open your external.
Rename the entire _Serato_ folder by adding a number 1 to the end of it.
Create a new folder on the root of your external and name it _Serato_.
Open the _Serato_1 folder, copy your Subcrates folder, and paste it into the newly created
_Serato_ folder.

Than the issue is either corrupt files on the drive or the drive itself.
With that said, I would either try moving all your files to a different drive and/or reformat your current drive.

I know I have corrupt files but I can't find them if Serato won't load tell me.

If the current version your using isn't working then try reverting to other versions.
