Hi,
A couple of months ago I took on the arduous task of moving my master database to an external HDD, as I would be travelling and needed to be able to work from my laptop instead of my desktop pc.
Long story short, everything got messed up and now in the same playlist, my files apparently are on 3 different locations.
Now I believe one of the reasons things got messed ups is because Rekordbox recognizes my external HDD as a device. Why is that a problem? Because if I want to update the playlists on my external HDD (which also has the master database on it), and then I want to export those playlists to a USB stick that I can use to play with in the club, I first have to import the playlists from the external HDD to my laptop/pc, and then export that playlist to my USB sticks.
Why is that a problem? Because the file locations get changed and my music gets lost.
What do I want? I want a really simple solution and I really hope it is already there but I simply have not found it.
1) I want to be able to use my external HDD as my Master Database, as well as the place with all my music collection as well as the place where I have all my playlists
2) I want to be able to export the playlists that I create on the external HDD, without any problems, to a USB stick that I can use to play with in the club.
What is the best way to go about this? Is this even possible? If not, what would you advice me to do?
