Engine DJ Options

Source drive

This is the same option as Target drive on the Sync tab, see this manual page.

When you import from your computer, Lexicon uses the Engine DJ library that Engine DJ itself uses. If there is more than one Engine library on your computer, for example on Windows when your Music folder was moved to OneDrive or Documents, Lexicon picks the one that Engine DJ changed most recently. To choose the library yourself, set enginedjLibraryFolder in the Advanced Overrides of the Lexicon settings to your Engine Library folder.

Tracks in a playlist that also has sub-playlists

In Engine DJ a playlist can hold tracks of its own next to its sub-playlists. Lexicon does not allow tracks directly in a folder, so those tracks are imported into a playlist called _FolderTracks inside that folder. When you sync back to Engine DJ, the tracks in _FolderTracks go back into the parent playlist itself.

Extra: Missing playlists?

This is a troubleshooting option if you notice that not all your playlists are getting imported. With this option enabled, Lexicon also imports playlists that Engine DJ has deleted or moved to a different drive.

Engine DJ keeps a hidden copy of the playlists of every USB drive you plug into it, including old and deleted ones. Lexicon does not import those unless you enable this option, so leave it off if you don't miss any playlists.
