Moving Playlist between computers.

[wackey]

I need to get a playlist with all of my cue points from my laptop to another persons laptop, i have looked at using most of the export options but the most luck i had was copying the playlist over and all of the cue points being duplicated. What is the standard procedure when doing this?
Thanks.

There aren't standards on export/import of DJ related info.

You can use the recordbox option as this includes the cue points.

Be aware that you need the exact same track files to have the ability to use your cue points.

Cross DJ bundle export will help you with this all

So i have managed to get it to work sort of.
Exported DJ Bundle and imported to other PC.
Then exported the .rekordbox file and the
Imported that in but the issue being that all of my cue points have been doubled instead of.

1) 33 2) 22 3) 44

its looks like.

1) 33 2) 33 3)22 4) 22 5) 44 6) 44

Any ideas?

Will you install Cross to the other laptop?
If yes then you have to:
- Copy to the other laptop your collection file (this includes pls and cue points).
- Your Peak files folder (the folder that Cross create the files when analyzing tracks). From Cross's preferences user the "General" tab and fix your "Analysis File Location".

Be sure that collection (all your music tracks) follows the same drive letter (c,d or whatever) and folder as your laptop.

The problem is that you can not make "relocate" to the whole collection of tracks.
I have done this many times and all my playlists, cues, loops etc are there.

The problem is that you can not make "relocate" to the whole collection of tracks.

Yes you can.
Both via the menu as in the right click menu after selecting all tracks.
If you select one track to replace in the missing tracks menu Cross ask if it should try to solve the other missing tracks selected.
All tracks with same change in folder structure will be found and modified.

Yes but the problem is that you have to relocate every single folder one by one. So relocating a whole big music collection is really painful with this tool.

There must be something else you have as Cross will do all, not just one folder.
I think I once noticed something like you mentioned caused by difference in path names caused by capitals.

[sfronti]

As far as I know Cross can not relocate a whole collection unless all tracks are in the same folder.

Wackey, try this and I don't think you'll have any problem.

I just gave it a try..
4621 in one run. All located in various sub/sub/.. folders (artist/album/cd#/..)

As I'm sure you have good reason to have the experience, I must admit that I have developed the habit years ago to strip all odd characters from the path and filenames when I add new music/vid. So only plain (US) alphabet 26-characters and no accents or such.
This also avoids issues with copying files/folders using various tools.
