    Thank you all again so much has for your help and advice. Very much appreciated indeed. I am starting to get the drift of it, still struggling with iTunes a little, particularly it’s integration with VDJ8, Windows 7. Would anybody know how I remove the movies, and other folders I don’t need from my browser column on vdj? The play lists I’ve worked out, simply delete the ones I don’t use and add ones I do. I almost like it…. An apple product lol. I cant seem to find out how to get rid of the other clutter.

    Thanks Bob, very helpful tips there. I have 4 back ups, I’ve lost hard drives before now, and I don’t wish to repeat the agony….

    A warm welcome, I found this site invaluable when I came back to DJ’ing, I’m sure you will to.

    This topic is progressing nicely, thanks for all of your input and further questions. iTunes is a bit daunting to us oldies especially when you have old, possibly bad habits of folders.

    I had a mess round last night with the devil’s own software and went to bed none the wiser, however the posts by Bob and Vintage have helped me understand a bit more. I guess tagging the tracks properly is essential for this system to work? Beatunes has sorted some of the mess out, but it’s starting to look like I may have to do most of them manually to set the genre to something I can relate to. I’d like the correct release year in all the tracks too. 1300 tracks x 2 mins per track editing = 40 – 50 hours….

    Thank you DJ Vintage! Whilst you were typing your very encouraging reply, I just watched a video by Phil Morse about beatunes, which is now sorting my collection out. Also downloading itunes as I type. What’s the worst that can happen right? Eeek. My last experience of iTunes many years ago was memorable let’s say, and I haven’t touched it since.
    I like the idea of keeping a mass of tracks on a separate hdd. I have 2 gigs this weekend with the stripped down collection, and no content unlimited currently within VDJ since Grooveshark went down, so that will be a comfort knowing I can access the 10k+ of music if I need to. I’d really like a max of 1000 in my core library, as you will know yourself I didn’t even carry 1000 physical records about back in the day, and I knew each and every one of them. I’d feel good if that were the case again now.

    Only a month on and they are saying it was due for release yesterday but because of an extension of content, this has been delayed by a day or so. Hopefully very soon indeed then 🙂 More details on their website if you are interested.
