What file format is the HD that you keep your music on?

NTFS

same thing here it takes me nearly 20 to 30 mins to load my entire libary and i recently redid my crates because i though i had to many crates but its the same problem even with less crates (windows 10 ntfs music internal storage)

You may have a corrupted database. You may want to try rebuilding the Serato database.

I got the same problem on a windows 10 computer
sometimes every time on startup

Hi there,
We greatly appreciate your patience on this.
We're now aware of a bug in SDJ, which seems to be caused by a combination of

Certain id3 tag values, on
Certain file types.

At the moment the best workaround is to rebuild your Database file, which should make SDJ usable until the next time you need to rebuild this.

Please let me know how you get on.

Kind Regards,

here is the link how to rebuild the database v2 file

support.serato.com

BUT AFTER YOU THIS COPY THIS FILE TO YOUR SERATO BACKUP FOLDER!
I COPY THIS FILE AND THE SUBCRATES FOLDER TO THE SERATO BACKUP FOLDER

THAN I MAKE A BACKUP FOR THE SERATO DJ OR SERATO DJ BACKUP FOLDER. I COPY THHE SERATO BACKUP FOLDER TO THE MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER;

THAN WHEN U STARTUP SERATO AND YOU SEE ITS START READING TAGS EXIT SERATO
GO TO SERATO DJ BACKUP FOLDER COPY THE DATABASE V2 FILE AND PASTE IT IN THE SERATO FOLDER OVERWRITING THE ONE IN THE SERATO FOLDER.

NORMALLY IF U START SERATO AGAIN IT WILL WORK AGAIN NORMAL.

SO NOW EVERYTHING I ADD NEW MUSIC I MANUALLY MAKE A BACKUP...FIRST A BACKUP FROM THE BACKUP FOLDER (TO ALWAYS HAVE A DATABASE FILE THAT WORKS°THAN A BACKUP SERATO TO THE BACKUP FOLDER...
ITS MORE WORK BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO WORK NOW ...

AND DONT FORGET TO MAKE A CRATE THAT CONTAINS ALL YOUR MUSIC!

i already have this problem since february...
i sent more than a dozen emails... deleting all corrupt files and doing all the steps etc they told me to do
that was the last mail from serato help

or you can rebuild your database v2 file everytime it happens but than u must not forget to make a crate that contains all your music.

it will read all your tags again, so it takes longer...
you dont need to analyze again, auto gain etc is storred with the audio file ive noticed other wise more time to load for 24000 songs 10 hours

and if your audio filles are most in m4a format i've noticed that the serato dj pro 32 version loads analyses files way faster than the 64 bit version (TRY FOR YOURSELF YOU WILL SEE)
(and has no dropouts when listening to long audio mixes when you scroll through them)
