rekordbox can not create the analysis file in the folder you specified in the preferences
So i've just bought a new PC, and am in the process of shifting all my music etc. over from my old (desktop) PC to the new one.
As per all the advice, I backed up my Rekordbox file using the 'File --> Library --> Backup Library' function on my old computer. I've then 'restored' that library on my new PC.
Everything going OK so far... I had to relocate most of my tunes, due to a slightly different filepath on my new PC, but that was sorted quickly.
The only issue i'm now having, is that I keep getting the above error message every time I try to load a track into the Rekordbox player, or try to use the 'analyse track' function.
I'm assuming the problem lies in that the "PIONEER" folder where analysis files are saved / created doesn't exist (it seems to have imported the filepath from my old PC). Thing is, I can't see how I can change this so that it looks at the right folder on my new PC.
Grateful for any advice.

Same issue here. My analysis folder in preferences points to a different user account, but cant figure out how to change it; Found solutions for mac, nothing for windows.

I've emailed pioneer directly about this. They're going to provide details on how to fix.
I'll post up their reply. :-)

With rekordbox closed...
- Open the Explorer
- Click View and tick the Hidden Files under Show/Hide
- Navigate to: C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox and open the file rekordbox3.settings (if it asks you which application to use, select the Notepad)
- Find the line: VALUE name="pioneerDirectory"
Make sure the value in that line is the same as the location you found the file -- please note that the backslashes SHOULD BE forward-slashes! Example, mine is shown as
<VALUE name="pioneerDirectory" val="C:/Users/Pulse/AppData/Roaming/Pioneer/rekordbox">
Save the change, load rekordbox and see if it complains again.
