Hello T Boogie,

I'm not sure what is going on but please try downgrading to version 2.0 --> serato.com and then try importing your files.

Let us know your findings:)

ok so just drag 2.2 to trash then install i assume

do i replace the database files wit crate info again or leave it as is?

Leave everything as is for now.

FYI.. the database file does not store any crate info but it does tell SSL what files have been imported.
The .crate files inside the Subcrate folder is what stores the crate info.

crashed..
i dragged 2.2 to trash then installed 2.0 .it still said there was a new version on my mac i installed anyway left everything else the same

Ok.. do this:

1. Completely shut down SSL.
2. Open your Macintosh HD drive.
3. Click on your 'Music' folder (you might need to click on the house icon to see your music folder).
4. Open the 'ScratchLIVE' folder.
5. Rename the 'databaseV2' file to something other than its original name. I usually rename it 'corruptdatabaseV2'.

If your using an external drive open the _ScratchLIVE_ folder on your external and rename the databaseV2 file in there as well.

6. Re-open SSL.

If done correctly you will see your tags getting re-written at the bottom of the page.

Note: Rebuilding the databaseV2 file will revert all of the 'date added' dates to today's date and will delete any files out of SSL that aren't currently in a crate or playlist.

Once done, try relocating your files by dragggin/dropping the folder(s) your music files are stored in on your external directly onto the 'relocate lost files' tab.
Don't just click the tab.

ok thanks for responding so fast also
still using 2.0 for this.wil post back after this

thats the "_serato_ " folder right ..no sccratchlive folder there

ok i ranamed folder to "corruptdatabaseV2" in both locations.opened scratchlive

miread step 5 sorry.. its going now ..told me unable to read sumthing (went too fast for me to read) but its scannin @ bottom will post back

thanks

update ...i still have a bunch of pink unfound files but alot of them are white.so half of the songs in crates r unusable.is there a way to solve this or do i have to find manually(tht would b a pain lol.i also rescanned for id3 tags with not much success. no crash though :)

If you do a search for one of these pink files in the 'all' section do you see more than one version?
One that plays and one that doesn't?

it comes up pink and white sp yea one pla one dont

i removed the numbers and names tht wer doubled from somg names it seems thats the proble i guess.maybe i screwed myself by renaming outside of ssl
