oops i lost 3900 songs, no way to delete playlist

Post by canadiankaraoke »

I'm sure there is an easy solution. Things are fine unless i select playlist. One i do i get the oops message followed by the twirling colorful beachball of death. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!

lost songs

Post by dave »

I've noticed that when this happens it indicates that the database "Save" operation got interrupted part way thru via a crash, the result being songs added most recently are lost. My solution was to re-import the lost songs. If that playlist crashes you every time, just delete it (in the finder, before running kJams).

Sorry for the bad news. There will in the future be a backup strategy built in, which only replaces the curent database after a verified successful save, so if you get this situation again you can revert to an earlier known-good database.
