Have you ever faced the issue of missing music files in Serato after using the Folder Flattener feature in the Crate Hackers desktop app? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many DJs have experienced this issue and have struggled to recover their missing files. In this tutorial, we will show you how to recover your missing files in Serato after using the Folder Flattener feature in the Crate Hackers app. We will provide a step-by-step guide that is easy to follow and will help you recover your files in no time.

Step 1: Understand the Problem

Before we jump into the solution, it's important to understand the problem. When you use the Folder Flattener feature in Crate Hackers, it creates a new folder with all your music files. However, the original folder is deleted. This means that the music files in your Serato library that were previously linked to the original folder will no longer be accessible. This is why you see missing files in Serato.

Step 2: Create a New Folder

The first step to recover your missing files is to create a new folder with the same name as the original folder. In our example, we had a folder named "Music 2". We will create a new folder named "Music 3" with the same contents as "Music 2".

Step 3: Drag the New Folder into Serato

Once you have created the new folder, drag it into the Serato software. Serato will prompt you with a message saying "Files Missing from the Following Folders". Click on the "Relocate Lost Files" button to proceed.

Step 4: Locate the Missing Files

Serato will scan the new folder and locate all the missing files. This may take some time depending on the size of your library. Once the scan is complete, Serato will display a list of missing files that it has found in the new folder.

Step 5: Relocate the Missing Files

Select all the missing files and click on the "Relocate" button. Serato will now link the missing files to the new folder.

Step 6: Verify the Files

After relocating the missing files, it's important to verify that all your files are now accessible in Serato. Browse through your library and check that all your songs are present.

Step 7: Save the Library

Once you have verified that all your files are present, it's important to save your library. Click on the "Save" button in the Serato software to save your library with the new folder.

Conclusion:

We hope this step-by-step guide has helped you recover your missing files in Serato after using the Folder Flattener feature in the Crate Hackers app. Remember, it's important to create a new folder with the same name as the original folder and drag it into Serato to locate and link the missing files. By following these steps, you can easily recover your missing files and continue playing your favorite tracks.
