I know you guys are getting tired of my questions, that pretty clear as no one answers any of my posts anymore, so hopefully I will get a response to this one....I'm sorry for being a hassle to everyone. I'm just trying to learn as much as i possible can.....I'm storing all my files on multiple drives in case of a crash , but when I copy my files over to another drive I noticed that the cue points are not carried over as well...how can I also get my cue points copied over? now i notice on the drive there is a folder from vdj and in it is a database folder but the cue points are not carried over.

I put this on the DB page also:
Nothing is saved to the actual mp3 file in VDJ, so you need the database file ( you can verify this by looking at your mp3 files change dates in explorer/finder)
Then looking at the database file in a text editor a song entry looks something like this (this one has a cue point in there):
<Song FilePath="C:\Users\klaus\Dropbox\move\Rock\Fight for your right.MP3" FileSize="3319978" Flag="8192">
<Tags Author="Ukendt" Title="Fight for your right" Flag="1" />

As you can see the path to the file is in there, so you only get the file info back in VDJ8 when you put the file (and the database file) back in the place you copied it from. So it won't work if you copy it to an external drive and play the file from there - but only in a backup/restore scenario

@ss2274. Make sure that you get the same drive letter.
