DENONHD2500 - drag and drop
anyone know if it is possible to Drag and Drop files straight onto the internal HDD in the HD2500?
i don't want to be sitting for hours clicking "add folder to database" etc.

lets get a little formality out the way :
PLEASE NOTE : THIS IS NOT A WAY OF FILE TRANSFER RECOMMENDED BY DENON - I CAN ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR HD2500 BY USING THE METHOD I DESCRIBE - if in doubt don't do it
Connect your Denon HD2500 in the standard way, and get up to the point where it suggests you open the software but DO NOT open up denon DJ manager software,
first navigate to your Denon HD in windows explorer.
naavigate to "contents folder"
find the files/folders you want to copy onto your denon HD,
Drag and drop them into the "contents" folder on your denon HDD
wait for files to transfer
then open Denon DJ manager
select your DN2500 in the software and hit "update database"
continue with denon instructions to remove HD2500.
when you turn on your hd2500 you'll find your files have magically appeared.

yip thats the way i do it grahame with no probs at all, can't see it damaging the hd2500 as in pc mode it is only seen as an hd and the denon software is just updating the database file on there after analising your tracks.
Have you put a larger drive in there or just using the 40gb one?

Incorrect Tom. You really should check before making these statements.
Just find the Denon HDD on the PC you are transferring from and drag and drop/copy and paste and then re-do your database.
I've always done it this way without problems.

It's a good job us numpties just unplug the drive from the Cortex and connect it straight to the PC. I like simple.

And plugging a laptop into a Denon is complicated?
