FiLe management
Located in the les pane are two buttons, rescan
ID3 tags and relocate lost les. Use these tools
for ongoing le and library management.

Click this button to force Scratch Live to re-read
all le tags. Alternatively, you can drag and drop
les, folders, or drives onto the rescan id3 tags
button from the les pane. This will only scan the
les that you drag and drop, resulting in much
faster processing.

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 
 option unchecked in the Library tab of
the Setup screen.
• Deleting a track when you are in the “ ”
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
“ ” playlist.
• Deleting a track from a subcrate will remove it
from the subcrate and the main crate but not
the “ ” playlist.
• Crates that are deleted are sent to the recycle
bin/trash.

Scratch Live gives you the ability to copy and
move les, folders and crates between drives or
to a new location on the same drive.
To copy or move your les and/or folders,
open the Files panel and select, drag and drop
them in the desired new location. Scratch Live
will then prompt you with the following options:
: Select this to make a copy of the selected
les and folders in the new location. Your Scratch
Live library will now contain entries for both the
originals and copies.
: Select this to move the selected les and/
or folders to the new location. Your Scratch Live
library and crates will now reference the les in
their new location.

your Scratch Live library and replace them with

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.
