in my computer VDJ now listed the drive as "Flash (H:)" I then (again) copied the test.mp3 file to a folder on the flash card. and guess what? looking at the card (using explorer) VDJ NOW CREATED A LOCAL DATABASE XML FILE. I tried to give a name to the flashcard (H: drive). (and the thumbdrive has two 'windows files on it, Autorun.inf & Desktop.ini) soooo. "VirtualDJ Local Database v6.xml" WAS PLACED ON THE DRIVE!! WTF? why did it place the local database on my thumbdrive but NOT the flashcard? Looking at the two, the only major difference between them (as far as windows is concerned) is one has a name and the other doesnt. XML files from it (as I have used it to move music before) and once again using VDJ I copied the "find me- test.mp3" to the thumb drive L: I then (using explorer) checked what was on it. I then connected my thumbdrive (which is named "Golfthumb L:") I deleted any. but wait! WTF? NO LOCAL DATABASE WAS CREATED! I then checked the local database on the C: drive. (this comes up as Removable Disk H:) using VDJ I copied the "find me- test.mp3" to the flash card. I then inserted an empty Flash card in my media reader. mp3 to my music hardrive (on my computer it is the F: drive) I played the song in VDJ (which scans it) and then checked the local. including a media reader that creates 4 extra drives.

I can play music from the drive, it acts normal but just cannot see the drive in the drop down on the Browser Tab in CONFIG inside VDJ. I can see the drive in the folders list, I can do EVERYTHING you suggest but it still stores the database on C. right click that folder and "add to search DB" done. right click on that folder and add it to "my favorites monitored folder" yada yada that folder should now show up in your favorite folder list. is your USB drive listed there? if so double click on it and drill down to one of your music folders on that drive. IN VDJ double click "my computer" you should see all your hard drives. I've seen it put the database on my thumbdrives) connect your "non-powered USB drive" back up to the laptop. (VDJ has no idea what kind of drive is connected. This sounds more like a windows OS issue, then a VDJ problem. Any suggestions on how to get VDJ to see a non-powered USB drive? It plays music from the drive but does not see in on the Browser tab inside VDJ config. I connected a powered USB drive to the same laptop and it see that drive and stores the database on the USB drive. New discovery just now!
