Rekordbox + CDJ question
Posted on: 17.10.2013 by Augustine Mitzen
right, i'm going to have a gig tomorrow and i'd like to play some tunes off an USB stick, and i'm not sure on how this is going to work

after i export the rekordbox prepped tracks to the USB stick, will the cdj read only the files in the RB folder/from the RB library? i have some more music on the stick, but i'd like the CDJ to ignore them and only use the RB files.

edit: obviously i can backup the files and delete them from the stick, but i don't really want to do that

The player should default to the RB prepped tracks when you plug the stick in. However if you navigate 'up' a tier on the folder tree I believe it shows the RB stuff as a folder called 'Pioneer', then all of your other music will be in other folders.

I did this with my CDJ900s as I had all my music on a large 320Gb external hard drive- Rekordbox put all of the prepped tracks into a folder caller "Pioneer" and left all of my other music folders on there available to play simply by navigating to them on the player.

I havn't had CDJs for nearly a year now but I remembered thats how it works because the "Pioneer" folder still shows up when I navigate to the usb drive root directory when plugged into my SC2900s!
