Hey everyone, I thought there was a post on this before but after searching the forums I Couldn't seem to locate it. Last night I right clicked on my external hard drive and clicked Re-Analyze Bpm from within VDJ. Let it run overnight and then some. about 12 hours later it finished. All my BPM's were there! sweeeeeeet. Closed VDJ restarted my computer, and about 9/10 of them BPM's were gone, noooooooooo. Is there a way to recover them? Does anyone know why this might have happened? I don't want to wait another 12 hours for all my BPMS on 72 gigs of music if i don't have to. Thanks for your help as always! Peace

I suggest getting a tag editing program like tagscanner or mp3tag or whatever and start entering the BPM's into the actual file tags. That way, eventually you won't be completely dependent on the VDJ database and teh BPM information will always be with the file and readable by VDJ.
I know it sounds liek a lot of work, but if you let VDJ scan for BPM's again, then you could start entering in the tags and eventually, someday, you'll have all the info entered.
Good Luck

There's no reason why you would loose the BPM's - unless the external hard drive was plugged in to a different USB port and was given a different drive letter.
Were the ones that didn't change on your local drive?
As with controllers, it's important that the external drive is plugged in to the same USB port, or go in to the Computer Management (right click on My Computer and select "Manage"). Choose "Disk Management" from the left menu and then right-click on the drive and choose "Change Driver Letter and Paths" and follow the simple dialog that pops up.
Now whenever you plug in that drive, Windows should assign it the same drive letter each time you connect it.
Finally, always plug in your regular drives before plugging in temporary/thumb drives as they may get assigned your drives letter and screw up the original mappings.
Hope this helps,

After using VDJ for a long time, I have noticed that unless you mark a song with something like a cue point, VDJ will not store the BPM information for the song when you shut it down and then restart. I would love to see it store the tags when doing bulk BPM analyses as I would rather have the VDJ engine do it then MixMiester or other tools.
