I use V42 and am very pleased with it. I am interested in upgrading to V5. However, as it is the middle of a busy (finally!) wedding season, I have some hesitation. If I understand correctly, V42 will not get overwritten and still run. How about existing playlists? Can those be imported/read into V5? Thanks for great product and looking forward to V9/karaoke

The full version of V5, will auto import your library and playlists from a V4 version (if exists) -- the trial version doesn't do that.
V5 also has an option on the file menu for importing both V4 and M3U playlists

New skin time
For those who like the brushed aluminum look, I bring you the DJ-1100 skin (notice I stopped attempting to come up with cool names)
This is pretty high contrast, and should work well indoors or out -- 1280 x 800, and you can find it on the downloads page, in the widescreen section...

RockIt Man,
When installing V5, it pulled in my playlists from V4. I thought I remember reading that the new playlist editor allowed sort and save functionality, but it doesn't appear to be working that way. Am I missing something?

Works fine here...?
The import just copies the files, since they are identical -- perhaps they were marked read-only or something...

I figured it out. Fat-finger on a copy from V4 folder to V5 folder.
Here's another one for you....
At the bottom of the Playlist Viewer, where it lists the name of the Playlists, how many items, and how many are selected, in V4, it also had total playlist time. I'm not seeing the total time in V5. It's appearing in the deck que's, but not anywhere else, such as the 'My Library', 'Most Played', 'Recently Added', etc....
(This particular skin is a V4 skin and I just copied and pasted it over from the V4 folder.)
Did you remove it?

Yes and no
Yes, by default it is off in V5, even if you use a V4 skin. I would not recommend putting it back in, as it was the single biggest slowdown when displaying lists, and would run CPU way up, potentially causing audio skips on long lists (like your library).
If you want it, and are willing to live with that, then you put the following in the "s-tracklist" field in the skin file:
time="1"
Thanks.....but, I hardly ever view my entire library...use my playlist folders predominantly. Btw, how does it get removed when copying a V4 skin over to V5?
After adding it back in and testing, I see no real large jump in CPU. Even my largest playlists, only jumps up to about 23%. Heck, I might even give V5 a run for the money this weekend.
V4 did not have that field available in the skin. If Rockit doesn't see the field time="x", it defaults to off.

It makes a huge difference in large lists. I usually test with lists from 5-50,000 tracks, since many do not use playlists at all, except to run an occasional dinner set. Rockit has to cycle through the entire list twice with it on -- once for display, then another to add up all the times, and do the math and formatting.
Trust me -- my debugger program (along with a bunch of customers with huge lists of 100k plus), yelled at me for having that function in there...
I trust ya dude. I'm just one of the odd-balls who happens to use RockIt as intended with smaller playlists.
Just started digging around a little bit - is the Denon HD-2500 included in this? I think I remember reading somewhere that you might be working with Jon Tuck on doing that?
Yes, there's a 2500 mapper in V5
Thanks, Rick. I've had RockIt on my radar since I started my endeavor of converting my library to mp3 and building a digital system, from nearly a year ago.
Hey Rick...
Anyway to make the wave form stay on or remember the last one I choose? I like the bars!

Geez, yer making me work hard today Randy... Had you looked at the DJ-900 skin, which has the waveform as its default, you would have figured it out already :yomoon:
But, since I'm doing all yer work for you today, just put value="1" at the end of the viewpeak lines in the skin.
BTW, still waiting for that beer......... :yosleep: :yoWave:
:yoarmyman:
It was returned to sender....something about some sort of turf war going on in your area and they wouldn't deliver.
