since downloading vdj 2026 i have transported all my playlists frm a previous version into the new folder in vdj ( why its changed from my documents to app data i'll never know)
when i look in the app data folder all the lists are there, but they will not show in the left hand panel in vdj. i've made sure i havre " full control" in all folders and in have reset root folders but its still not showing. i cant even cteate new playlists? any idea?

Based on the Wiki for transferring ti a new computer, the paths that VirtualDJ checks are as follows:
How to check the path VirtualDJ uses is described on the page too.
Based on your report, I assume you are on Windows and using a version of VirtualDJ probably older than 2023 - ensure that you are actually using the correct path (in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualDJ), and that you backup + remove the contents of the old path.
Also, VirtualDJ has moved to the MyLists structure to represent all lists - one the most significant changes there is that Playlists and Virtual Folders have been merged (now just called a List Folder, and a Playlist is now a List Folder that has order/the order column), and that the entire structure is stored in a different parent folder (VirtualDJ\MyLists parent folder). If I remember correctly (anyone correct me if I'm wrong), VirtualDJ auto converts the old structure to the new one, but anything/any tool that's dependent on the old structure would need a setting set in VirtualDJ (browserShowLegacyM3UPlaylists = yes) to allow it to display the old structure for newer created List Folders with order.
With respect to this:
My guess would be that %USERPROFILE%\AppData is considered the standard location for application-specific configuration data/settings, while %USERPROFILE%\Documents is really just a general storage location for Documents.
I think a similar change, for a similar reason, was made on MacOS too.

Usually there's no need to guess paths yourself though.
Either use the built-in backup and restore functionality, or press the Cog in options to open the correct folder.
