with differing statuses.
• Scratch Live has detected some
corruption in the MP3 le. If possible,
re-encode the MP3.

iTunes library.
• The track has been imported from the
iTunes library, and Scratch Live has
detected some corruption in the MP3
le. Solution: If possible, re-encode the MP3.

the le has been renamed or moved.
• Tracks that are read-only have a
locked icon.
MORE INFO ON CORRUPT FILES
If you have a corrupt le in your library, hover
your mouse over the status icon for information
on what type of corruption was found. SEE
“CORRUPT FILE DESCRIPTIONS AND DIAGNOSES”
ON PAGE 45.
SCRATCH LIVE BACKUP
Scratch Live stores your library database and
crates information in the Scratch Live folder
on your hard disk. This folder is created on
a drive when les are added to Scratch Live.
A copy of each Scratch Live folder called
ScratchLIVEBackup is created next to the folder
it is backing up. This folder is created when
exiting Scratch Live. You will be prompted to
backup your Scratch Live library on exit if there
is no backup for a drive or if the last backup is
more than 1 week old.
Backup will only keep ONE level backup at
a time; each time backup runs it overwrites the
previous backup.
Note: Make sure you back up your music
separately. This backup function only backs
up the Scratch Live folder, not your music files.
DELETING CRATES AND TRACKS
To delete tracks from your Scratch Live library,
select the track and use the keyboard shortcut
ctrl-delete. (Make sure you have the protect
library option unchecked in the setup menu.)
Deleting a track when you are in the All...
playlist removes it from your library and any
crates that the track may be in.
Deleting a track inside a crate removes it from
that crate but the le will remain in your All...
playlist.
Deleting a track from a subcrate will remove it
from the subcrate and the main crate but not the
All... playlist.
Deleted crates are sent to the recycle bin/
trash.
To delete any les from your library and your
hard drive (sending them to the recycle bin) use
the shortcut ctrl-shift-delete.
If you are using iTunes playlists, your les
cannot be deleted this way. You will need to
delete them from within iTunes.
