everytime I open scratch live it keeps on reading my tags and evrytime I close and open it again it does the same the same thing. I tried to rename the file file like I saw on a previous discussion and It still doing the same thing.

Hey DjAbsolute,

Are all your files analyzed?
If you let it scan all the way through does it still do it again next time you open it?

Let me know and i'm sure we can sort this issue.

it reads the tags then when try to analyze files it only anyalyzes a few few files and it finishes.
It scans the files everytime I open the program

Yeah you may have a a corrupt database, follow this link:

serato.com

Once you've done this, re-open Scratch Live, reanalyze your files, it should hopeful only do it again once.

Let me know how you go.

Dave W

i have alot of red lettered files on the ALL crate and not all music is listed there, does that have anything to do with it?

Have you re-created Database yet?

When you have then you can drag all you music folder onto 'relocated lost files', this should sort that out :)

Let me know how you go.
Dave W

I re created the database and open scratch live as per the instructions on the link, it's re reading the tags again, its that normal?

yes that is normal. :) let me know how it goes

what do i do next?

o.k how does it look? any issues with it yet? screen shot?

re opened it still read the tags when i start the program

what do i do now?

Hey Djabsolute72,

O.k lets try a little test. Go into your music folder> Rename your _Serato_ folder to say _Serato_1. Re-open Scratch Live. At this point Scratch Live will re-create a new _Serato_ folder. Next we should drag some song files into the new fresh looking Scratch Live library in Scratch LIve. Scan Tags and then close and re-open. See if it still does it.

Let know how you go
Dave W

renamed it the file to serato 1, re opened scratch live it still opened the old data base and still had the same crates and it still reading tags.

oh my bad rename to _seratoOld_

i now have 3 different serato folders serato, serato 1 and serato backup. Which one?

Whats the next step?

o.k, don't worry about that. Serato is the new one. Serato 1 is your original one and backup is it's backup.

Lets go back into Serato program. Open up some song files and scan them. Then close program and re-open. Let me know if it re-scans new files again.

what do you mean by open up some songs and scan them?

While in Scratch LIve go to button 'Files' click this. Then find your music folder using the file directory with that drop down. Pick a folder or some music Files from your Hard drive and drag them onto 'All' in crates menu on the left. They should be added to your new Serato Database (library).

Then close program. Re-open Scratch Live and see if the problem continues :)

Let me know
Regards
Dave W

the problem continued but the songs that are present in the library on top of the list (all crate)

Explain further please? I'm not sure what you mean.
Dave W

the tags continued to read when i close and open the program again but the songs that i placed in the all crate are on the very top of the all crate list

what should i do?

also when i open the program and it starts to read the tags i can stop the reading of the tags only by clicking on the rescan id3 tags button and then i can actually start to analyze the files from the very beggining( the only thing it skip in the count)

can someone help me please?

I am still having the same problem!!

Hey Absolute,

How long are we talking here? 20 seconds or like 5 minutes? Scanning Database is normal, how big is your library?
Are you running all your music off your internal hard drive or off an external?
