Device Library Is Corrupted
Yesterday, running RB 5.4.3, my battery drained and my macbook pro powered off without sleep mode or proper shut down. Now I get the notification above when I start RB. Everything seems to be working fine except this error. I think the error refers to my external HD (Lacie Rugged SSD 512GB) that carries all my tracks.
What can I do to get this sorted/repaired?
I checked many threads and can't find an answer that helps.

If your external drive is the source of the master database, then no, unfortunately our engineers are unable to recover / repair a corrupted database. You'd have to try and recover from an export device instead. Sorry!
Tell me you haven't opened/closed rekordbox more than 3 times and I may have a solution for you.
Yep, opened it many times since :(
:-O holy! This means that as long as I'll be using RB, I will get this notification? my god.. So are you guys working on a scan and repair utility?
Try this one thing... create a backup of the library (File > Library > Backup Library), then if the process is successful, restore the backup (File > Library > Restore Library). I believe it should restore to the external drive, but if it restores internally, that's fine -- it may just work to repair it in that process, but I can't say with 100% certainty.

Hello Pioneer, since I've Installed the RB 6.0, and because it was taking forever showing a message about "Lyrics"(in red color), I've decided to come back to RB 5.8.5 and Uninstall 6.0.
After that, everytime I run RB it shows "Device Library is corrupted. Do you want to delete the device library?".
So I've tried to create backup and then restore it. Same thing, it keeps showing the message. But the good thing is that it is still syncronizing the USB fine.
How could I get rid of this message?
