Are you using an external HD? If so, what format is it?

If you click re-scan ID3 tags - do the BPMs show backup? If you load a song to a deck do the BPMs now show?

umm im using internal, and mp3

when i load tracks they show bpm but they don't show in the library

If you click on Re-scan ID3 tags do the BPMs show after its done rescanning?

how do you go about rescanning? just analyzing them again, or clickin in the bpm field of the track, if its any of those i tried both and it won't save

Click on the Files button and in the bottom left of the Files window click on Rescan ID3 tags.

I also noticed that serato doesn't do backup when i close it, like it used to do. I'm not sure if thats a new feature of 1.91

Close down SSL.
Go to the Music/ScratchLIVE folder and give the DatabaseV2 file a dif. name.
The open the ScratchLIVE program.
Let it scan all tags.
The BPMs should show.
Close SSL and re open it to see if the BPMs stayed.

ScratchLIVE will ask you to backup once your library is over 2 weeks old.

so that doesn't work either renaming the database, only made my regular scrtach live crates disappear

alright so i believe i fixed it, i converted my id3 tags on itunes and everything is saving,

do u know why that might of been a problem?
also which version of id3 tags is the most recommended i converted to 1.2

2.3ID3V is the most compatible. Maybe the ID3 tags were just too full or a wierd version. Glad you got it fixed tho.
