Hi Algoriddim Team

I have started to use an external storage device to keep all my tracks/playlists on djay pro, as I had been saving tracks for a set on my iPad internal storage and then remove after the set and then with a new set repeat the process. This was due to the iPad only have 32 GB of storage.

I am keen to have all my tracks available on my iPad via external drive, so I always have tracks ready to use.

I have imported the files using the linked file option and then added to an all music playlist. A number of my tracks show as 0.00 length, but will still play on either the USB or SD card. At this moment in time, I have approximately 5000 files. Not sure if this is relevant, but I use Platinum Notes and run my tracks through here before I use them in my mixes.

Have reanalyzed all tracks again and still no change. I find the playlist length helpful when preparing a set for my Mixcloud mixes and would be useful if I could get a resolution.

Is there something I am doing incorrectly? Is there anything else you would advise I try?

Many thanks,
Matt

I would first check that the files aren’t corrupted.
Basicly if the file is corrupted, the calculation of the length, importing tags etc might be incorrect.

Some apps are better handling issues, trying to “fix” the problem without causing issues to user.

Thanks dj_romy_fl, files aren’t corrupted as far as I know, and all tracks work fine otherwise. Is there a way I can double check for corrupted files, that you would recommend?

Thanks,
Matt
