Hello everybody. I need some help in understanding what is happening. Before diving in I want to preemptively state that I have deleted and re-downloaded/installed Engine prime to fix the problem. It hasn’t worked. Hoping to get some answers.
I buy my music on Beatport, move the tracks to a custom folder on my Mac named “Beatport Music” and take tracks from that folder and drop it into my engine library. Days later I’ll boot up my Mac to download more tracks to add to my USB, BUT a lot of my tracks will become red. Stating that the file has become corrupt. I then have to go back to my folder, re-drop the tracks and delete the “corrupt” track? How can I get this to stop? This isn’t a problem on my ‘09 MacBook running El Capitan, but is a problem on my ‘19 iMac running Catalina. PLEASE HELP!!!
None. I don’t use external hard drives and like I said I move all my music into the custom created folder, then drag and drop them into Engine Prime. I use the sync to USB feature but that’s about it. Other than that I don’t do anything with the original file once it’s been dropped.
I came across this issue too and this would happened if you name your folder or playlist a different names when taking your music from your iTunes or Beatport music. Make sure the name of your music folder match the name on the folder in witch your are dropping your music into. Red music means that you’re missing the music file because the name of the file DON’T MATCH. Make sure you names files match.
