I've tried two ways of loading my library. BTW, all my music is on an external drive.
My music file path is F:/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

1st method of library install, was with the check mark in the show iTunes Library under SETUP.... It took over 40 minutes, but worked once with the Xone DX USB (Hardware) disconnected. Once the hardware/USB was connected to the PC the ITCH app crashes.

I then deleted any files from my internal hard drive under the folder music that either had _Serato_, _Serato Backup_, or _Scratchlive_, etc as well as from my external drive to start from the beginning.

2nd method of library install was to drag and drop all my folders from my music file path of F:/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music into the left most column of the screen below ALL so that I would have crates and files as they show on my external hard drive.

I get the same problem after I connect my hardware.

Why are Serato or Scratchlive files being created in my MUSIC folder on the internal and onto the external drive? Is this causing a conflict??

Hi DJJames801,

Can you please let me know if your memory is getting maxed out in task manager when ITCH crashes or if the CPU is spiking?

Can you also let me know your complete computer specs?

Cheers,

Sam.

Hi Samuel S,

Please close this. I will get back to you if what I found being a RAM issues doesn't resolve this.

PC has 4 GB of Ram, and it is getting maxed out. Going to buy 8GB @ Best Buy to see if this solves it. I forgot to mention that when it crashed it said,
"OUT OF MEMORY"...

Thanks,
James
