Mixvibes Dj Community old forum

Hi all, I have Cross DJ on my Android Tablet. My tablet external SD slot is expandable up to 128GB Sd Card but I have over 250GB of music. I DJ a lot of weddings and I need to have all my music with me. I have connected an external hd to my tablet via OTG cable. When I unplug my external Hd from my tablet, then later plug it back in, Cross DJ doesn't recognize all the songs that are on my HD and I have to rescan all the files which can take hours. Is there something I'm missing? Or a fix for this? I would love to scan the files, and plug and go when necessary.

Thanks in advance!

might want to give some info on the tablet and the harddrive ,, with so many variations ,,info might help in getting a solution or a reason this isnt possible,,

This is how it works. Cross uses the Android mediabase as source. If you add/remove tracks Android will update the mediabase. This includes tracks at any media that is added/removed.

Having a separate Cross database will be hard as this takes a lot of space.

Also be aware that playlists are maintained by the mediabase.

In this setup you best use a powered usb hub. Else your hdd will drain your battery and you'll have to disconnect to charge your tab. Also the tab needs a lot of power due to screen and cpu activity.

My personal thought is that you shouldn't try to get the same result from a tab as from a PC. I use a small set of tracks at my tab (3k) also at lower quality (256mp3 vs Flac).

This EXACTLY what I thought someone would say... Thank you for the insight. I don't believe the make and model of the tablet would make a difference but I am using a Samsung Galaxy View Tab with a portable HD so I get your point about the battery etc.. My PC software crashes too often (I use Native Instruments Traktor) but they seem to be falling backwards lately. Maybe I'll give MixVibes a shot on the PC.

Thanks again for the info guys, have a great day!

you will enjoy the PC version
