What are the database files and what do they contain?
There are 2 database files used by VirtualDJ. One is the CORE file that is created and maintained in
the documents folder location of the respective platforms on the internal drive. The other is the
SUPPORTING file(s) that are created on the respective additional drives (internal or external) in the
‗Root‘ directory of the drives.
The Core database is titled - VirtualDJ Database v#.xml
The Supporting database(s) are titled – VirtualDJ Local Database v#.xml
# - this symbol in the file name represents the version number of VirtualDJ that created the file.
How it works …
For versatility and flexibility, VirtualDJ‘s database system segments the database to each drive
attached to the system.
The data stored in the database files …
Relative path to the file stored on the drive (Relative to the assigned drive letter/mount id)
VirtualDJ‘s analyzed data about the tracks – song length, bpm, key, etc.
Imported ID3, MP4, and MOV Tag Information
Automix information
The ‗split‘ database design provide users of external hard drives the ability to COLD or HOT SWAP
drives between single and/or multiple systems. This allows for multiple DJs of a club, venue or
mobile setup to utilize a single VirtualDJ installation and not have different logins in order to maintain
separate databases unique to each DJ. The DJ can just walk in, plug in the external device and
begin playing.
First time opening VirtualDJ when upgrading …
With the ‗split‘ database files and depending on the size of the previous database, the FIRST
LAUNCH of VirtualDJ may act like it has stopped at the application‘s splash screen. Please have
patience and look for activity on the hard drive(s). VirtualDJ is reading the prior version database and
splitting the various entries across the respective hard drives of the system.
If you continue to have questions or need more information to continue your setup, please refer to
the Audio Setup guide and/or User Guide for more information.
