Move Engine DJ Library To A Bigger Harddrive

Moving music with EDJ is always a risk. But you can proceed like this:

  1. Close Engine DJ
  2. Move your music wherever you want, trying to at least keep the file paths intact, i.e. move the entire “Music” folder in a single block, don’t move or mix the various folders that contain your tracks.
  3. If you do as I wrote above, you could also restore everything as it was originally if something doesn’t work.
  4. Make a backup copy of your Engine database: you can find it in \Music\Engine Library\Database2
  5. Now open Engine DJ: you will see all your tracks in red, as it can no longer find them.
  6. From your collection, highlight all the tracks, then right-click on them and select “Auto relocate All”.
  7. It will take some time but Engine DJ should find all your lost tracks.
  8. If that doesn’t work, you can always restore everything to how it originally was by using your backup copies of the Engine database and restoring your music folder exactly where it originally was.
