Serato Dj Intro allows me to create crates, however every time I exit Serato and open it again, the information in the crates has changed (ie. If I create a new crate and populate it with songs, if I close and restart the program, the crate will be empty) . Some crates remain saved, but some force me to always re-do which has become very frustrating.

Also, every time I exit the program, it freezes and states that the program is "Not Responding", making me 'force' shutdown the program . This may have to do with the crate information not saving.

My music is drawn from an external hardrive. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Patrick,

Firstly the external HD may not have the read write permissions active on your HD. Make sure you run as administrator. This will most likely be your issue, unless on exiting it not saving which could also be the problem.

Firstly see if this helps and then let me know the status and we can further investigate.

Dave,
Thanks for your reply. The problem was with my external. I basically did trial and error to narrow down the problem (read some other posts that helped). My external was ancient and I think there was an issue with reading/writing capabilities. I got a new one and everything is now working clean! Serato Intro is already proving so much better than Virtual DJ.

Thanks again for your input tho.

Great, I thought that would be the issue. I'll close this thread for now. Enjoy :)
