User Guide

In order to simplify browsing and provide better and robust file management capability, VirtualDJ

provides three (3) methods for the user to organize the database.

On the left panel’s border are three (3) folder options

Create Favorite Folder (monitored folder)

– pick a folder from the drive to always display in the browser

Create Virtual Folder (unmonitored folders)

– create a folder for manually populating with specific files

Create Filter Folder (monitored folder)

– create a folder based on a filter string that is run every time the folder is selected

Right clicking on any of these folders provides access to various operations. For Favorite folders

options include Add or Remove contents of favorite to Search DB, and BPM Analyze options. Filter

folders contain an option for accessing the filter dialog for changing the filter string. Virtual folders have

a Rename option. All folders have options for moving the order of the folders up and down in the tree

and for removing or deleting the folder.

You may want to define a collection of directories which are most frequently used – for example, “Hits

of 2006” or “My Music.” The best solution is using the Favorite Folders. Think of Favorite Folders as

Shortcuts to a folder in the operating system.

To setup a Favorite Folder, browse the Desktop navigation item from the File System/Folder Structure

panel to the desired folder location. Click and highlight the desired folder, then click the yellow favorite

folder icon .

The directory selected will be added to the end of the list, on the same level as the “Desktop” folder. To

remove a favorite folder reference, select it and click the icon again.

The same actions can be taken by right-clicking on the desired folder and choosing “Set as favorite”

from the menu. And, to remove a favorite folder simply right-click on the favorite and choose “Remove

from favorite”.

Virtual folders also aid in quick access to tracks. A virtual folder holds a collection of shortcuts to tracks.

Create a virtual folder by clicking on the red VirtualFolder icon and giving the new folder a title.

Now browse the database or run various searches looking for tracks that are being grouped together.

Drag and drop the tracks into the new VirtualFolder and next time you want to play these tracks refer to

the virtual folder.
