Problems Syncing/Importing Music to External Drive?

Hello, I’m new here and I have a question.

I own an SC Live 4 and have been having recurring problems with Engine DJ when trying to sync/import music and playlists to an external drive.

Sometimes the files transfer normally, but other times the transfer stops, fails, or doesn’t complete correctly. I’ve also had situations where the music appears to be transferring but the expected playlist/files don’t end up on the drive as expected.

I initially thought the problem might be my external drive, so I tried a different name-brand USB drive, freshly formatted as exFAT. It worked correctly at first, including being recognized and playing properly on the SC Live 4, but I eventually experienced transfer problems again.

Is anyone else currently having problems syncing, importing, or transferring music from Engine DJ Desktop to an external drive?

I’m mainly trying to determine whether this is something specific to my setup or whether other Engine DJ users are experiencing similar behavior.

Thanks for any information or experiences you can share.

Hi @PatahnU-287 ,

every here ‘n’ then a problem like yours appears. E.g.:

Feature Suggestiont: Activity Log During Copying / Processing - Engine DJ Software / Engine DJ (Mac & PC) - Engine DJ Community or

Engine DJ 5.0.0 — Sync Manager does not create playlist folder structure on USB / SD drives (works on SSD) - Engine DJ Software / Engine DJ (Mac & PC) - Engine DJ Community

I’m currently still using EDj Desktop ( 5.0.0 ) on Windows 11 with my Prime4+ ( 5.0.4 ) and haven’t encountered any problems.

What is your OS and what are your version numbers?

Without these info is quiet hard to give you any advice…

Regards

windows 11 pro/EDJ 5.1.0…i just updated it saturday…

Hey @PatahnU-287 ,

does this thread relate to your current problems?

Bug for EDJ 5.1.0: when inserting USB it overwrites the playlists - Engine DJ Software / Engine DJ (Mac & PC) - Engine DJ Community

If you’re creating new playlist you have to remember to tick them in sync manager before syncing across. New playlists arent automatically added to the performance drive.
