Known issue: Scratch Live 1.9.0 may not unlock locked .wl.mp3 files

ChrisD 4:03 AM 25 May 2009
There is a bug in Scratch Live 1.9.0 (build number 19035) that effects your ability to unlock locked Whitelabel.net mp3 files (files with the ".wl.mp3" file extension).

When Scratch Live firsts detects the presence of a locked ".wl.mp3" file you are presented with an email and password box along with an "Unlock" button. Entering your email address and password then clicking the "Unlock" should unlock the locked file.

The bug:
After entering your email address and password clicking the "Unlock" button has no effect

The workaround:
Enter your email address and password but, rather than clicking the "Unlock" button, make sure the cursor is placed in the password field and click the 'Enter/Return' key.

UPDATE:
This bug has been fixed in Scratch Live 1.9.1. Scratch Live 1.9.1 is a free upgrade for all Scratch Live users and is available here serato.com and here scratchlive.net

Hello,

I had this error and did the instructions above butt now I get "Your email address is incorrect." I tried several times making sure it's the correct account and just logged in here with the same credentials so I know the address is correct.

Any sugestions?
ChrisD 11:20 PM 25 May 2009
If you're getting a "Your email address is incorrect" message then you have an issue unrelated to the one described above.

I suggest that you make a Help request and have the support team step through the unlocking process.

You can do that on scratchlive.net or serato.com (you can use your same login and password):

serato.com
scratchlive.net

Will do. Thanks!

dave 2:17 AM 3 June 2009
Dollar - plug in your Rane hardware and they play at high quality 320k.
Dj RLow 10:26 PM 12 June 2009
awesome just unlocked 30 files!
kid rockstar 8:27 PM 20 June 2009
I DONT UNDER STAND HOW TO UNLOK THE SONGS ????
dj_shem 3:54 PM 23 June 2009
Serto Itch wont play these files?!?!?! why not?! does anyone know how to enable them on ITCH Thanks
ChrisD 1:05 AM 24 June 2009
dj_shem, ITCH doesn't currently support Whitelabel.net files.

But we're working on it...
ChrisD 1:24 AM 24 June 2009
kid rockstar,

If you have any locked tracks in your Scratch Live library you will automatically see an email address and password box appear above your track list. If you enter the same email address and password as you use here on the whitelabel.net website the tracks will unlock.
DJ RuDe 1:17 AM 15 July 2009
I'm getting the same thing as cooquist. It's saying the "Your email address is incorrect". I'm obviously currently logged in here with the same address & password.

Any ideas?


Thanks
ChrisD 5:10 AM 15 July 2009
DJ RuDe,

First of all I would try downloading the track again and replacing the file.

If that doesn't work then your problem is more likely to be related to Scratch Live rather than the Whitelabel files themselves and I suggest you start a Scratch Live Help Request so that the Rane and Serato support teams can help you.

You can that here: scratchlive.net
Or here: serato.com
jon_ccc 2:53 AM 31 July 2009
im gettin the same problem... wont unlock with my login & password. whats goin on?!
ChrisD 3:22 AM 31 July 2009
jon_ccc, assuming you've read my first post in this thread I suggest you start Help Request so that support teams can help you as it's more likely the problem lies with Scratch Live or ITCH rather than the Whitelabel audio files themselves.

You can do that here: serato.com
Mobilem 2:17 AM 28 August 2009
I have Scratch Live 1.9.1. I have a similar issue with unlocking files. The usual message is that 48 files were successfully unlocked then all is good, sometimes though it says 47 files successfully unlocked and sometimes only 1 file successfully unlocked. Why the difference?
ChrisD 2:41 AM 28 August 2009
Mobilem, I suggest you make a Help Request as your problem is more likely a Scratch Live issue rather than the Whitelabel files.

You can do that here: serato.com
Donny G. 2:54 PM 31 August 2009
My files just dont register with serato period.. they come up as .wl files and never play i dont even get an option to unlock... what am i doing wrong?
ChrisD 10:23 PM 1 September 2009
Donny G, you should start a Help Request to work through your issues.

You can do that here: serato.com
Dee-Jay Real 4:12 AM 11 September 2009
I Don't Why is so difficult to search for Artist name or Song title on white label,Search, Could i be doin something wrong?
C-Nyl 3:25 AM 15 October 2009
I put my email and password in and hit the enter key and it still says incorrect email address. For the locked tracks that wont unlock, I have deleted them and redownloded and they still are locked. I am using 1.9.1 (19136). So what is the bug fix for that? Its not a major issue for me, but I would like to get it resolved...
ChrisD 4:04 AM 15 October 2009
C-Nyl, what track(s) are you having problems with?

The only one I can remember right now is Fabolous- Lullaby. Most of the other ones I deleted cause I doubt if they get any air play unless I do another mixx tape and need an instrumental for something.
ChrisD 8:52 PM 18 October 2009
Fabolous - "Lullaby" shouldn't be locked at all.

I suggest you delete the current file and download the track again: www.whitelabel.net
C-Nyl 3:23 AM 19 October 2009
I deleted it twice and redownloaded it, and it is still locked.
C-Nyl 3:33 AM 19 October 2009

Fabolous- "Lullaby" is good now...

Fabolous- "Stay" is locked. Deleted and redownloded, it is still locked.
ChrisD 4:51 AM 19 October 2009
I just downloaded "Stay" and it was definitely not locked for me.

Make sure that you remove the track from your Scratch Live or ITCH library, then delete the file, then add the new file to your library.

I did that three times already. Still locked...
ChrisD 10:11 PM 19 October 2009
C-Nyl, could you please provide me with a link to the release detail page where you are downloading "Stay" from.

I am downloding it from whitelabel. net under downloads; Fabolous; Stay...
C-Nyl 4:35 AM 23 October 2009
Another problem I am having is; if I take my hard drive to one of my hommies spots to dj, when I try to access my music files through their serato, all of my music is locked on their system. What is the cause of that?
ChrisD 4:52 AM 23 October 2009
That behavior is by design. You'll have to enter your email address and password on any Scratch Live system that is accessing your locked files.

If the owner of the computer has any locked files of their own, they'll need to restart Scratch Live and put in their email address and password to re-unlock their files.
C-Nyl 5:39 AM 23 October 2009
Yeah, but entering my email address and password does nothing at all... And vise versa...
ChrisD 9:48 PM 26 October 2009
C-Nyl, your issues are more related to Scratch Live rather than the Whitelabel files themselves.

For that reason I suggest you start a Help Request and have the Rane and Serato support teams help you.

I tried leaving the cursor in the box with the password and hitting the enter key and it does the same thing as clicking unlock, tells me that my email and password is incorrect.

As far as the help request, I am not to worried about my files being locked when i try to use them on another system. I have just about all the songs on my ipod. So I f I need to hook up to someone elses system I will just have to hook up my ipod and go from there... But it is a problem with the the software.
C-Nyl 4:44 AM 9 March 2011
Ok, I see the locked file thing is still in effect and when you put your email and password in it still does nothing outside if saying your email and password is incorrect. Is this problem going to be fixed?

Already did that and I have the latest version of Scratch Live 2.2.
ChrisD 9:09 PM 9 March 2011
What Release is causing you problems?
DJ SKYWALKER 4:42 PM 10 March 2011
this is quite annoying!! ive done all that is listed here ive downloaded the newest version of SL, ive re-downloaded the tracks and now they say they're corrupt.

one is "baby by you" - 50 cent

and 3 off the new travis barker album

carry it
dont fuck with me
i play drums

all 3 of these came up locked ...then corrupt
ChrisD 9:12 PM 10 March 2011
The Travis Barker tracks have been re-encoded and should no longer be locked. Delete the current files, download them again and you should be good to go.

As for "Baby By You". I can't find that on Whitelabel.net. Are you sure it's a Whitelabel track?
allanxpoe729 3:39 AM 11 March 2011
i think dj sky walker meant have a baby by me
Ivan velez 11:26 AM 19 May 2011
I am having this issue in both Scratch live and itch. I've just downloaded the Lady Gaga born this way special edition but once files are in itch or SL it asks for my email address and password that I use in the whitelable website but it tells me my email address is incorrect.

Same thing is happening to me
ChrisD 10:17 PM 19 May 2011
Ivan velez, The U.

Sorry, but Interscope removed the Lady Gaga release from Whitelabel.net. They may add it back later but for the time being those tracks are unusable.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
Ivan velez 3:20 AM 20 May 2011
Chris D,

Thanks for your response. I'll wait and check back later.

noting is changed !!!
still 10 tracks locked ... with wrong email !!!
dave 9:59 PM 22 May 2011
Sorted now gevola, please download those tracks again.
Blaster 1:31 PM 19 July 2011
Are you relocating the downloaded files to another folder or external hard drive?
That seemed to be the issue for me.
Second time around, I downloaded and moved to external and it still said they were locked and I had the wrong email/password...
So I deleted, then moved them BACK into auto import folder on my mac and left them there.
Now they work fine and I don't get locked message anymore.
djcause 8:00 AM 22 August 2011
Just got the game new album but saying that my email is incorrect. Have the latest scratch software and i have entered my email 10 times and not working
ChrisD 11:36 PM 22 August 2011
Hi djcause.

Those tracks were locked by mistake. Remove them from your library, download the tracks again, replace the files and add them back to your library. You should be good to go.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
djcause 1:38 AM 23 August 2011
problem solved thanks chris
DiscoBlake 6:40 PM 29 August 2011

I'm still having the same problem with LMFAO "All Night Long"
ChrisD 3:08 AM 9 September 2011
Do you mean "All Night Long (featuring Lisa)" from this Release whitelabel.net ?

This track is not locked for me.

So remove the track from your library, delete the file, download it again and add the new file back into your library.

I get the same with Itch 2.2 put in password and told wrong email and password did I do something wrong?
TheRealDJGotti 10:39 PM 6 May 2013
I recieved a message from you earlier but i cant seem to find it. I was wondering why my hyperlinks and my input was deleted although everyone else who was in the conversation wasn't? They gave their feedback and i gave mine. Why so bias?
