Anyone have any idea..

how I have managed to lose more than four years' worth of cue points, beatgrids and loops with the new version of rekordbox?

Last night I discovered than none of my old information is stored and that some of the tracks are also linking to other files completely.

Is this something to do with me now having synced folders from itunes, rekordbox and the devices? During the week last week I went for a major re-organisation of my folder/playlist system then updated the relevant devices. It must have something to do with this, but I can't work out what I did wrong.

I did not have this problem at a few other gigs in the last couple of weeks, and I am pretty sure I had already linked/synced the folders then.

It's really pretty far from ideal to say the least. I guess all that work has gone?

Many thanks for any tips.

It could well be your database was damaged during the update (or prior). If you haven't opened / closed rekordbox more than once, you may be able to recover them if it's just a new thing...

Open the following location:

Win 7/8: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox

OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox

Rename datafile.edb to datafile.edb.old

Rename datafile.backup.edb to datafile.edb (removing .backup)

See if that helps.

Hi Pulse,

Thanks for the advice, but that didn't help as I can't even find the file you are referring to. Pretty annoyed about the whole thing to be honest, years worth of work gone. I've also had some serious issues with my iTunes playlists since updating rekordbox as well; they are all empty now and Apple couldn't work out why it had happened. Personally, I'm convinced it has something to do with the syncing function and the fact I have an external drive for itunes shared between two machines. Unfortunately, I'm no computer expert to try and solve it all and I just have to start again. Should have stuck with 1210s, a pen & a pad by the look of it.

Best.

Just to top it off, I've just opened rekordbox and it can't find any of the 25k tracks that were loaded into it now either. Nor am I able to change the itunes library file so that it now knows where they are...great fun this.
