Playlists Repair

< 1 min read

Playlists Repair fixes broken track references inside your VirtualDJ playlist files.

When to use it #

Use it when playlists contain missing entries after a move, rename, drive change, or a general library tidy-up.

What it repairs #

Missing track paths inside playlist files.

Key arguments #

  • /repair:playlists
  • /stage:export, /stage:autofix, /stage:validate, /stage:import
  • /scan

Example commands #

vdjtools /repair:playlists /stage:export
vdjtools /repair:playlists /stage:import

Typical workflow #

Export playlist issues, review the proposals in the workbook, validate, then import.

Safety notes #

If the breakage started with a library-wide path change, fix the database first — CrossRef or this page can then clean up whatever’s left.

Limitations #

Results here may be small or empty if the underlying path issue was already resolved by a database repair and CrossRef.

Common scenario #

Playlists fail after a tidy-up because the music exists in its new location, but the saved playlist entries still point at the old path.
