Rekordbox 6 re-analysing tracks after updating wave data

Previously used RB 5.8.5. - PC.

So i installed RB6, and attempted to update all the wave analysis data as prompted. This appeared to freeze part way through one of my playlists so i waited patiently and then quit RB, now when i restart RB6 it wants to fully re-analyse most of the tracks in that playlist again (not update the wave data). This is a huge pain as i noticed it was changing BPMs that were manually edited, some were .1bpm off and stuff (there are 993 tracks in this playlist, about 800 are being re-analysed!).

So i uninstalled RB6 and hoped that would allow me to start the entire process from scratch but when i re-install it skips the original import process and keeps wanting to re-analyse those tracks again.

When i re-open RB5, everything is fine (thank god) and nothing re-analyses.

I just want to start the entire RB6 install/convert process from scratch but it appears something keeps making these tracks re-analyse. Any ideas? Is there a RB6 DB file i can delete which is causing this to happen?

I do want to update to RB6, but frankly the analysis data i have in RB5 is more important right now, id rather not re-edit 800 or some tracks again! Cheers, MR

I'm having issues with RB6 as well. It analysed all the tracks and than puts a "?" in the first column and then it analyse the track AGAIN when you upload the track to a deck (the ? disappears after) before you can play it. It's a real pain as you can hear the music glitched if you are djing at the same time. I don't feel like manually uploading 16,000 tracks (using Analyze Track doesn't get rig of the "question mark"). And than loosing all the BPM edits I made...this is a real pain!

I'm reverting back to RB5 as well.

@Red > The only time it would need to analyse is if you hadn't done so since version 5.4; after that there was an update requiring re-analysis anyhow.

@Miss KosmiK > You need to add the analysis data to those new tracks; it's not re-analyzing them.

It makes me analyze when I first opened RB6 and again when I load each track for the first time. I didn't mind doing it once...but twice and manually seams a little odd.

And what about the question mark in the left column the the cue icon and rekordbox icon. What does it mean?
