- Shazam integration.
- The GeniusDJ folder.
- CloudList, with collaborative lists.
For your library
Where this series begins. The builds after 8.1 brought fixes that still sound familiar:
- Fixes loading the database when a drive is connected after VirtualDJ starts.
- Fixes handling a corrupt database.
- Fixes removing a favourite folder whose original folder no longer exists.
A favourite folder pointing at a folder that’s gone is one of the things VDJTools repairs, along with songs in the database, playlists, history and virtual folders.
