Have you tried turning your computer off and on again?

i tried everything, i think its a engine software bug. Many other users are in the same situation.

DENON ITS URGENT THAT YOU FIX THIS

Some questions to help you troubleshoot:

  1. Which exact version of Engine DJ are you running?
  2. What operating system are you using? (Windows or macOS, and which version of that?)
  3. Where are you trying to drag the tracks from? (Main view, connected drive, explorer/finder)
  4. Where exactly are you dropping the tracks to in Engine DJ? (To the name of an existing playlist in the collection tree on the left? To the main track list area where the tracks of the playlist should appear after you’ve selected it?)
  5. Would you mind sharing a quick screen recording of the process?

I wanted to upload a few more, but unfortunatly. The thing is:

The songs are in fact ON the usb drive, but nowhere in a playlist??

Then also: When i try to remove the same playlist….. nothing!

Moin @DJ_Nijs ,

Can you see in the folder “Collection” some tracks?

If not: Tick the USB-Stick. (Shown is drive C).

Can you see any files on the USB?

if not: is it formatted as EXfat or Fat32?

If you can see your tracks as files on the USB, tick them with the mouse and move them to playlist. Or mark the tracks on the USB and fill them in in to the playlist by copy and paste.

Check if the tracks are shown in the playlist. If you can see them there, pls. have a look in to “Collection”, they should be visable there as well. Sometimes it is extremly difficult to see them there, as the date of issue is 01.01.1970 ! The date will be improved after resetting ENGINE DJ.

The procedure is a little bit tricky, but it works and no guarantee

AYOR, so make a backup of your files before you start this way ….

Good luck and brgds from HAM BeatMaster

@BeatMaster see other 2 screenshots above. The songs are as files on usb drive (somewhere)

  • formatted in Fat32
  • if I go to ‘collection’ nothing to see??

I don’t understand what you mean by the issue of 01.01.1970 ??

But all in all, I don’t understand why I have this problem now. From the beginning with all others versions before 4.3 it was never a problem.

I could easily drag and drop / copy and paste from one drive to another without any problems creating a playlist

Moin @DJ_Nijs ,

thanks for your reply.

If you make “copy and paste” from USB to Engine DJ, in the field “Date Created” and “Date Added” appears the “01.01.1970”. So it was impossible to search for new tracks via the date criterion. e.g. you will look up “07.10.2025”. The program won’t find any new track under this date, as it is erroneously stored under “01.01.1970”. If you start ENGINE DJ again the date was improved to the proper date.

Be happy, never been encountered with this issue.

e.g. given from today (somewhere in the deep of my files I documented this issue, but I didn’t find it yet)

If the problem you described occurs since 4.3, phps. you should make a roll back to an earlier version and test, if the problem will be in an earlier version as well.

Good luck and brgds BeatMaster

thanks for the options. But I’ve already tried on an earlier version.

Then enigine can not read anything, saying: this was made in a newer version of engine dj. please update

So I am going to accept what it is and maybe find a solution someday :upside_down_face:

Moin @DJ_Nijs ,

I feel sorry for you that there is no way to solve your problem. So best will be, to send a service request to the DENON staff.

Good luck and enjoy the weekend

Yeah, same here I’ve run into that too. It’s frustrating since the old drag-and-drop workflow was so much faster. Now I also have to import everything into the library first before building playlists. Really hoping they fix or bring that feature back soon.
