Hi everyone, I can no longer move songs or change their position in the playlist. I use Windows 11, have a 64GB Intel i7, 2TB SSD, and ENGINE DJ 5.0. I even tried downgrading from version 5.0 to version 4.3.4, but nothing changed. Does anyone have any suggestions for solving this problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
Did you sort by the # (number) column? If it’s sorted by another column you can’t reorder tracks in a playlist.
And if you’re talking about adding new songs into a playlist, is it a regular playlist or a smartlist?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the list is sorted by number #. This issue occurs with existing playlists; if I create a new playlist, the problem doesn’t happen. I have two PCs running Engine DJ 5.0 on Windows: if I create a playlist on one PC, it cannot be edited on the other, but if I create a new playlist and copy the files over, I am able to move the files around, and the same applies in reverse.
Are you copying over the host database files between PCs?
Try rightclicking on the engine dj app, select run as administrator, check if that works. If that´s the case, then it´s a security setting in win 11. There´s a few ways to work around this. Issue is not tied to engine dj as per se, but task managment in win 11 after a few security patches.
I’ve had this problem for a long time, on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. The cause is an old backup hard drive formatted as NTFS and connected via USB. When it’s plugged in, I can’t add anything by copying and pasting or create new folders. I have to unplug it.
I found a solution for myself: I ran a Windows memory diagnostic, and after doing that, Engine DJ 5.1.0 on Windows 11 started working without issues (for the time being). Fingers crossed.
This is extremely vague and not very helpful for people who may be facing similar issues. Can you detail exactly what you mean by a “Windows Memory Diagnostic”? What diagnostic tool did you use and which memory did it test?
I ran the Windows procedure without any third-party software: just go to the search bar, type “Windows Memory Diagnostic,” and run it. It took 4 hours, but in the end, I resolved the malfunction issue with Engine DJ 5.1.0
Than you. I’ve not used windows heavily for well over a decade and a half, so I totally forgot this was a thing. Seems like it tests a system’s RAM.
That said, the memory diagnostic tool doesn’t actually fix anything, so I can’t see how running that tool did anything to resolve your issue other than reporting that a memory module is defective and you replacing it yourself.
Running the Windows Diagnostic Tool does absolutely nothing to improve or affect the system’s performance. In fact, it is not actually a very good memory tester. If you think there may be memory issues then use memtest86. Though running it also has no effect one way or the other on system performance.
I’m not a Windows expert, but it solved the problem that was preventing me from using Engine.
