4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeUsers express significant frustration with the music aspect of the game, particularly regarding the loss of a vast number of custom-made files after a verification process. Many recommend avoiding reliance on the game's music system, especially for those with extensive personal collections, as it can lead to unintended data loss.
“After exiting pd18, I did a verification of data, not knowing that it would remove all 136,709 custom made videos/music that I use for my videos (that I kept in the samples folder); as you can imagine, I'm really upset!”
“I highly recommend ignoring it, especially if you have over 100,000 custom made files/videos and music in the sample clips folder (so that when pd18 starts, you have all your base clips handy).”
