Relocate missing files in Serato DJ.

No. Vibes is a library prep and organization tool, not a performance mixer. Relocating missing files within Serato is a Serato-native task and must be done inside Serato DJ. Vibes is useful before or after that process, for capturing your library state and keeping your organizational work independent of file paths.

Yes. Serato writes cue points, loops, and beat grids into the file's own metadata tags, and its documentation states they are not lost if the file is moved or renamed. A successful relink reconnects the library entry to that audio, so your crates and prep work come back with it. Adding the file again as a fresh entry is the riskier route, because the new entry starts outside every crate you had built.

Files go missing when you move, rename, or delete them outside of Serato, for example by reorganizing folders in Finder or Windows Explorer. Serato records the exact file path when a track is added, and if that path changes, it can no longer find the file. Moving files through Serato's own Files panel avoids this problem.

Serato's documented route is manual. Sort your library by the status column so the missing tracks group together, select them in the All crate, and press Control + Delete (Command + Delete on Mac) to remove them from the library. Doing the same inside a single crate only takes them out of that crate. Try relocating first: a removed entry loses the crate and playlist membership you built around it.
