Cannot Find Songs from External HD

Post by SkippyDJ »

Hello. I have an external HD hooked up to my Macbook. When I start up KJams it only loads 2500 songs when I have over 50,000 stored on the HD. What do I need to do to access the rest of my library. Thanks.

did you previously have kJams showing all the songs?
it may be that you just need to rebuild your library from scratch:

Hey Dave. I tried to rebuild the library but it still only loads 2500 songs when there are well over 50k on the HD. When I try to add to library after I rebuild it says can't add songs that reside in the KJams music folder. I just want to reference my HD and keep KJams in my applications stored on my Mac. I recently had to reformat my HD for use on both PC and Mac so I used the format XFAT rather than 32. I had a backup so I didn't loose any music. Thanks for your time.

kjams will only automatically load the songs that are in the "kJams Music" folder
the rest that reside somewhere else (like on the external) have to be re-added manually
