Have you played the complete song and ejected it from the deck and it still won't turn green?

We change the way it works in the 1.9.0 version. It takes longer which ensures that you are actually playing the track instead of previewing a track but deciding not to play it / put it in the mix.

Yes I have played the complete song, I would do a set and then go to play another set and it's not keeping track of my history so that I would be able to see what was played earlier in the nite. but when I plug in to a friends laptop and do a set it tracks everything in the history on there laptop. is there something wrong with my history folder??? I have tried reinstalling the program and using 1.9.1 and still the same result.....

We might make a new one.

How much room do you have on your HD?

Are you using an external HD?

Have you analyzed all of the files?

Do little things like cues and loops save?

I have 160g drive on the laptop and 4 gigs of ram

I use a 500 gig external drive which holds all my music and i'm oly using about 320gigs at the moment on that.

all of the files have been analyzed and the the hot cues and loops work fine.

I have read other posting is there something wrong with the memory folder or serato memory??????

I would try renaming the history.databse file inside the history folder which is in your internal HD in the ScratchLIVE folder.

Name it "history.databseold"

Do that with the program closed. After which, open it and play some songs, see if they turn green.

It's not officially supported yet. We are doing everything we can to make that happen ASAP.
