The other issue that is tough for me is I have thousands of songs in my library that already have cue points assigned in Algoriddim Djay Pro. Of course they do not show up in Serato DJPro. Are there any utilities out there to convert the Algoriddim Djay Pro cue point meta data into Serato Cue points? After that, your downloaded Spotify songs have been uploaded to Serato DJ software. If you wish to import all of your music, just drag your whole music folder onto this icon. This will import any compatible file contained in this master folder from your hard drive into the Serato DJ Pro Library.

Algoriddim's djay is a name that is best known for the rather excellent iOS app, which has gone from strength-to-strength, even winning an Apple Design Award in 2011, but this software has actually been around since 2006 when it was first released for OSX.

The ethos behind djay has always been to make a DJing platform that is fun to use and very easy to learn, as well as being easy on the pocket. It has been marketed towards casual mixers and the 'mix curious', but that is about to change.

The latest incarnation of djay, djay Pro, is clearly aimed at taking this software out of the amateur leagues and into the majors, which means taking on the big boys like Serato and Traktor.

Algoriddim are making the bold claim that djay Pro is a complete toolkit for performing DJs, but does this software have what it takes to make it in the cutthroat world of professional DJing?

The biggest game changer that djay Pro has on offer is without doubt the fact that it has Spotify integration, something that is going to be of huge interest to DJs both new and old.

Not only does this mean DJs have access to over 20 million tracks but thanks to the slick job Algoriddim have done, all of these tracks have BPM and key information already entered. A slight fly in the ointment is that the audio quality is not fantastic, as tracks streamed from Spotify are encoded at 96 kHz using the Ogg Vorbis format.

While acceptable for parties and possibly bar gigs, it just won't cut the mustard on the kind of soundsystems found at big clubs.

Another nifty trick up djay Pro's sleeve is the Echonest powered recommendation feature, which suggests which tracks should be played next choosing from tracks stored on user's computers, as well as from Spotify's library. It also works very well with iTunes, with all of the relevant data associated with tracks displayed within djay Pro.

Best of all, there is no need to import the tracks from iTunes — it works seamlessly from the moment djay Pro is first opened.

When it comes to the business of mixing, DJs can choose from either the traditional two decks and a mixer layout, which djay is famous for, or a waveform view which supports up to four decks.

Djay Pro also has the bases covered when it comes to effects, with a decent selection available from the get-go, and more advanced effects available as a paid upgrade. A generous amount of loop controls are also on offer including Bounce, which is similar to Serato's Slip Mode.

Manual looping and pad looping assigns loop length and filtering to an X-Y pad control. Three cue points can be assigned per track, and there is also a sampler section available, which has 12 sample slots on offer.

Djay Pro has kept all of the best features of the original djay software and added an awful lot of very cool new features, some of which are groundbreaking enough to potentially ensure that DJs will flock to this software and ignore other titles completely.

However there are some features missing in djay Pro that are standard for Traktor and Serato, such as DVS vinyl support, which means the old skool are more likely to stick with what they have, while the newcomers eat up djay Pro and all it has to offer them.

Overall djay Pro is a great piece of software that manages to pack in a lot of very slick features while keeping the price very low. This software is very easy to use and could be the perfect way for users to take their first steps into the world of DJing, especially given the huge music library on offer from Spotify.

• did you also move your music files? sounds to me you only copied your playlists but not the files.

  Hmm that sounds very strange because here is what I just did:
  Old MacBook had Files in Music folder and all playlists in iTunes. I use Serato.

  1. Copy all Music from old MacBook to new (non-restored) MacBook’s Music folder via normal copy
  2. Export Library from old iTunes as xml file
  3. Import xml file into new iTunes -> works
  4. Copy old Serato DB to folder on new MacBook

  Works perfectly, even all my cue points etc. are there since I copied the Serato DB over…
  I cannot find what you did do differently?
  Oh and I just checked in djay Pro it also works fine. I have no VDJ installed at this time.

  To import a library, simply open up iTunes whilst holding down the right key (Option for Mac, Shift for Windows) and then click “Choose Library”. That should work.

  Nah in the File menu in iTunes there is an import library function.

  Export your Library with the Export Library function as in above screenshot.

  Then You click on “import Playlist” and then select the whole Library.xml
  It then will take ages (took around 5min for my huge playlists) to import them and iTunes will seem that it will have crashed… just leave it be.
  Then all your playlists will be there… Virtual dj database location mac free.

  Will the files play through iTunes?

  If they do, and it still doesn’t work in VDJ, close it, go to “Documents” -> “Virtual DJ” and try changing “database.xml” to another file name (e.g. “database2.xml) and the same for “settings.xml” and then re-launching VDJ.

  That should reset the database and the settings, letting you view everything as if it is a new install of VDJ. Then see if it works.

  bob6397

  Have you set the iTunes database file path in VDJ?

  If you haven’t, try going to Settings -> Options (Make sure “Show advanced options is ticked top right) -> Browser as shown below. Check the File path actually points to your iTunes library.
