certainly nuking all the database files resolves the issue but you are left with prepping XXgb of music into playlists, cue points and such like… i have done this twice now. its painful… and a marriage ruiner.
i have resorted to using the networked capability to share the engine data to the Sc6000s… this provides access the the playlists created in engine and does not require a usb export… issue is network can be unstable, wifi issues slightly laggy… its a work around but not great for anyone that cant sit there with a laptop next to them.
i was looking to install a 2nd version of engine on the same host machine, in order to provide some flexibility in creating new playlists on an engine software that exports correctly… gradually i could get another instance working… but i have not found a way to have two engine installs.
also looking at lexicon… although why we have to pay another sub for different software is a butter pill to swallow to over come this issue which has been around since day dot
Can you create a video of your workflow and then show us what is missing afterwards so we can fully understand what is going on… that way we can help you out.
Aside from the odd existing track reloading with a newer ‘date added’, i have have no issues updating and exporting my music from laptop to internal SSD on the Prime 2.
Have you refreshed your database on the 2.0 update? there was a full DB change when the firmware moved from 1.6 to 2.0. Is your desktop app and firmware running on the latest versions?
A video or at least screen capture of your process will be helpful.
Firstly there is a Library cleanup you can run to clean your collection up.
You also need to note that new playlists aren’t automatically sent across on export, you have to tick the box to enable them.
This is a test playlist ive created. Right at the bottom
When I go into Sync Manager you can see it isnt ticked by default, I have to tick the box to export it.
And finally you need to hit ‘Yes’ on this next popup.
Also be mindful that you should always ‘Sync to Engine DJ’ BEFORE doing any of the above if you have made changes on your device that you want to save back to the desktop app.
"The issue was related to a corrupt database2 folder found within your Mac’s Music Folder. This sadly will need to be deleted and you will need to re-import your music into the Engine Library collection first and then make your playlists.
Once done then enable these in the SYNC Manager and these will transfer across fine your relevant drives. "
In other words you should find database folder and delete it or just move in another place, then reopen engine and to make a new playlist, it will sync with your usb(
Ok Guys. Created playlists in Engine Dj desktop, Use the sync manager to export it to an SD card. When I open the SD on my Numark Mixstream Pro playlists are not available, just the songs. What do I do wrong (I’ve red some earlier similar threads, but no really easy solution.
(I did an export from rekordbox and than the playlists created in rekordbox are visible).
