It depends on what tracks ou reanalysed... If they were on the C: drive, then only that database would have been amended.
I stand by what I say as my weekly update process is as follows:
Rip CD/Download tracks to master library on PC
Sync external HDD with master library
Fire up VDJ on PC and scan for new media on the HDD
Analyse new tracks on HDD (via filter folder)
When I then connect my HDD to my gig laptop all the analysed tracks pop up ready to play.
That fact you mention v5 & v6 leads me to what could be the cause of your problem. VDJ won't mix database versions. v5 databases are usually upadted to v6 on first run.
Check to see if any of your extenral drive tracks can be found by searching the DB. Don't navigate the external drive as this process in itself will update the database.

If you want another way to get the default VDJ path (other drives are considered like external HD), you can read the following key in the Windows registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VirtualDJ\HomeFolder
for example, mine is "C:\Users\Domicile\Documents\VirtualDJ"
so I have C:\Users\Domicile\Documents\VirtualDJ\VirtualDJ Database v6.xml
but all my songs are on another partition/HD:
E:\VirtualDJ Local Database v6.xml
The first one is almost empty (except the temporary read on c: => If VDJ can't write on the local partition/HD, it will write in this file) whereas the second one have all the data

Ok I have just found the issue:
You overwrite the defined msXMLPath
If (File.Exists(msXMLPath)=False) Then msXMLPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) & "\VirtualDJ\VirtualDJ Database v6.xml"
And in the Loop :
"For iLoop = 0 To (nodMedia.ChildNodes.Count - 1)"
it catches an exception in
nodChild.Attributes("XXXXXXX").Value
You have to test if the field exists first
sAlbum = nodChild.Attributes("Album").Value crashed becaus :
<Display Author="Antonio Vivaldi" Title="Vremena Goda Zima (Fresh Deal Remix)" Genre="Dance" Year="2009" Color="12002531" Cover="2210" Tag="1" />

Hi JamesWRose,
i'm so new with virtual dj (i didnt know before) but im watching its so powerfull!
i have a problem, im writing and application to select mp3 from my pc in my PDA and then.. the program should add the songs i select to virtualdj.. but im really lose.
I use VB Net (2008).. but all i see here is about C (i forgot the few C i learned few years ago.).
I see that your application should have "the instruction" im looking for.. to add songs to virtual dj from your own application.
Its possible to have the source code ??
Tx and sorry for my english. i hope you can help me. see you

No, this application works on playlists offline, so doesnt communicate with VDJ.

It probably won't since the DB structure and even the file locations changed.

Good point. I haven't used VDJ for a while and I missed versions 5 through 7, had forgotten how it used to be set up.
I'd really like to see this same option on version 8.x. Can I pay someone to make the plugin?

Luckily the autor of the tool uploaded the source code too.
I will have a look and try to rewrite it to be v8 compatible.
However, I can not say if it will work or when it will be available.

I just uploaded a ported v8 version of the DJPatterns tool. If you are lucky it will be available to the public in the next few days.

I'm not seeing this available anywhere yet. Am I looking in the wrong place?
