Syncing Lexicon to VirtualDJ
VirtualDJ Settings
VirtualDJ automatically reads your music files' ID3 tags. If they don't match what Lexicon synced to VirtualDJ, you may be seeing things change when a track is loaded or analyzed in VirtualDJ.
To prevent that, you should turn off these settings:
Playlists
Your normal playlists can be found under Lists & Advice ➡ Playlists.
If you had previously imported from Virtual Folders (which serve the same purpose as playlists), you will not find them there anymore after a sync from Lexicon. Playlists are always sent to Lists & Advice.
Smartlists
Smartlists are converted to VirtualDJs equivalent called Filter Folders. You will find these under Filters in the VirtualDJ menu on the left.
If you want your smartlists to be in the same tree as your normal playlists, you can enable the Move smartlists option. When enabled, Lexicon will not create any Filter Folders anymore but instead turn all your smartlists into normal playlists in VirtualDJ.
Beatgrids
VirtualDJ can use a fluid beatgrid (a beatgrid that follows tempo changes). If you enable Don't touch my grids in the sync options, Lexicon leaves the beatgrids that already exist in VirtualDJ untouched, including fluid beatgrids. Without this option, the beatgrid from Lexicon replaces the one in VirtualDJ.
Cues
Cues are always written from Lexicon. If you added or changed cues in VirtualDJ, import from VirtualDJ first (with the Merge option enabled) so those cues are in Lexicon before you sync back.
Colors
Track colors are synced to VirtualDJ. VirtualDJ has fewer colors than Lexicon, so some Lexicon colors (like orange, lime, teal and violet) have no direct match. With Change to nearest color enabled in the sync options, those tracks get the closest VirtualDJ color. Without it, they get no color.
Ignore Folder (for Karaoke files and more)
You can create a playlist folder in VirtualDJ with the special name "Lexicon Ignore". This folder will not be removed when performing a full sync from Lexicon to VirtualDJ. This folder is useful if you want to keep non-audio files in VirtualDJ since Lexicon does not allow non-audio files in the library. Normally, anything not in Lexicon will be removed in VirtualDJ on full sync. The exception is this ignore folder.
One use-case for the ignore folder is karaoke zip files.
The folder should look like this:
