Loading Error - large Windows library

  • Device model: Lenovo P14s (AMD Ryzen Pro 7, 64GB RAM)
  • Version of operating system: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
  • Version of djay 5.3
  • Hardware/controllers used: not relevant

New installation of Djay 5.3 on Windows 11 (also tested with Windows 10, same error)
I have around 45,000 tracks in my music folder.
Djay also seems to read them in. But when I try to look for tracks in the local music category, I get this error after a very long time:

The other categories (artist, album and genre) work:

Hi @MichaFalki, thanks for the details about your setup and the screenshots.

  1. How exactly did you import your music files into djay?
  2. What file format(s) are your songs?
  3. Where are the files stored (ex. Internal SSD, external USB drive, Cloud storage service, etc.)?

Thanks!

Hi @Slak_Jaw,
thanks for your reply!
My music is located in the system SSD in my user directory under c:\users\micha\music
Djay did the import automatically.
Most of the tracks are .mp3. However, I assume that this has nothing to do with it, as it worked with the last versions of DJay.
Here is an overview of the files in the music directory:

Another thing I’ve noticed is that I’ve always had my music in a different directory. Not in the user directory. But I haven’t found a way to import the tracks under DJay Windows.
That’s why I tried to import them into a local playlist by dragging them from Explorer. That worked at first. But after about 5000 tracks DJay crashes without an error. I have tested this several times. Always the same behavior.

After it didn’t work, I copied all my music into the user directory \users\micha\music.
And I deleted the DJay database beforehand to ensure a clean start.

I assume that the two problems are related. It seems that the amount of tracks is causing DJay to overflow.

Thanks for the additional info @MichaFalki. This is very helpful and I’ve passed it onto our engineering team for further review. I’ll get back to you soon!

Hi again @MichaFalki, our team would like to review you crash report for clues. Can you please share you djay User ID and email in a DM to me so we can properly locate them? Thanks!

Hi Slak_Jaw,
where can I find the user ID?
And unfortunately I don’t have a crash report or I don’t know where I could find one.

Hi @MichaFalki, on Windows, you can find your User ID by opening the djay Settings at the top left of the screen and selecting “My djay”. Once we have your User ID we can retrieve your crash reports from our automated reporting system - there’s no need for you to find and send them.

Hmmm

I have not yet registered the version. That was for testing…
I guess that didn’t work either.
