How to wipe it all out and start over?

[GKL]

When I started messing around with this software, my music files were a wreck.  I generated a library with a bunch of stragglers and trash in it.   Now I have my files cleaned up and want to wipe out the trash and re-generate my library but can't figure out how to do this.   I pointed the config app to another directory and generated a library with nothing in it but the jukebox still has all the songs loaded in it.  Uninstalling did not even work.  Can someone help me out here?

Go to the c:\program files\E-Touch Jukebox folder and delete these files:

records.cvr
records.rec

and if you had videos:

videos.cvr
videos.rec

Karaoke:

karaoke.cvr
karaoke.rec

and for good measure, delete User_history.dat and Random_history.dat.

re-run the config and all should be good!

Perfect..thanks!

What I usually do is to run the uninstall first and then erase the folder C:\program file\e-touch jukebox

You can just delete the folder and re-install if you don't want to preserve anything.

You could create a batch file and run it from the options screen that will clear the database?

maybe a option in the config to delete before creating might be good

So you think generate should clear all the CVR's from genres, artists and years if selected for generation and also remove the rec and cvr being generated? This does seem to make sense, i will see how easy it is to do.

I have been wiping my .rec and .cvr files out for a while now with a batch file prior to running the config because I kept getting multiple listings in the libraries. I even did a turtorial about it.

del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\records.cvr"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\records.rec"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\videos.rec"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\videos.cvr"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\karaoke.rec"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\karaoke.cvr"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\Artists"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\Genres\*.cvr*"/Q /S >nul
del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\Years"/Q /S >nul

But this would be great to do within the config itself!

Yeah the config will now erase the CVR files in Genres, Artists and Years if you have them selected and hit generate. It doesn't do anything with regards to running an update as i believe that was already working. Anyway this will be in the next release.

Barry,

I think its great how you take comments on board, and when they make sense you seem to be eager to implement them as soon as you can.

It must take up all of your free time!
