UPGRADING to Version 5
When upgrading VirtualDJ from prior versions, the default application path stays the same and
the application configuration, plug-in, skins, database files, and support files are copied to
appropriate location listed above.
Also, if possible; you should have your COMPLETE gig ready setup completely connected
before launching version 5 for the first time. This will give VirtualDJ the ability to build the
appropriate database files using the information from the previous version database files.
What are the database files and what do they contain?
The Core VirtualDJ Database is titled - VirtualDJ Database v5.xml
The VirtualDJ Database system segments the database to each drive attached to the system.
Each additional database file will be found on the ROOT of that drive and is titled – VirtualDJ
Local Database.xml
What is stored in the database files?
¾ Path to the file
¾ Analyzed data about the tracks
¾ ID3 tag Display Information
