the following is not directed at any one person :-)
just general info.
you can also open the .xml file and using Find/Replace change the drive letter in the database.
though technically, the drive letter should not affect VDJ from recongnizing the song..
I use an external hard drive between my rackmount computer and my desktop..
the ext is listed as drive F: on the rackmount, and Drive H: on my desktop.
The songs are "seen" by both computers equally well..
now if I change the filename or path.. poof! that information is gone. :-(
so any moveing of files, HAS to be done by VDJ

The drive letter doesn't matter to the VirtualDJ database on the external drive.
The only problem you may get is if you have playlists that have songs from the external drive in them. These will not work if the drive letter is incorrect.
