Your question:

Hi

I generally use the software on my desktop PC running Windows, but have also just installed it on my laptop, also Windows
I’m using the same Pro log in, I also access the software through iOS

I’ve made a small playlist on my desktop PC and added a couple of cue points to tracks to see if they transfer to the other Windows device, via my laptop but despite being on the same platform (Windows) it doesn’t seem to transfer the cue points or playlist over to my laptop device, is this normal?

I get Windows to iOS maybe an issue but would think Windows to Windows on the same log in it would transfer to both devices?

Cheers

Where does djay Pro store cue points and other metadata?

Before doing this, I highly recommend that you make a backup of your Master djay Media Library database on an external drive or cloud service. Please note that the file name for this database on iOS and macOS is different than on Windows so this doesn’t really work from Windows to iOS.

Also, there are extreme restrictions imposed by iOS on how djay can work with these files. Having said that, it basically involves 3 steps: Transfer the djay media library database file to the other device. Transfer the audio files to the other device (e.g. via i…

Hi @djqueenvic, first of all, please note that this is not an officially supported workflow by Algoriddim. This is just what I personally use. So please proceed at your own risk. Make sure you close djay on both devices first. I make regular backups of my Master djay Media Library database to an external drive and to my iCloud drive. This way if I make a mistake or something happens to my device, I can still recover my database. I also use the Files App and make a Master djay Media Library fo…

I hope that helps!

A lot of reading here, thanks @Slak_Jaw

Sorry, I did search but came up with different results to the above

Does this transfer playlists and cue points or just playlists?

Thanks as always

You’re welcome @Cuzer. As outlined in the info above, the djay Media Library database contains playlists, history, queue, as well as all per-song metadata like cue points and loop regions.
