![]() Of course if you are a Mac user there is no problem as all of them support HFS+ file format which does not have an upper limit (or it is unlikely for you to reach it in the near future). I realised a few months ago (by first trying and then googling) that all Pioneer new CDJ models (CDJ-2000, CDJ-900, CDJ-850 and CDJ-350) do not support NTFS or exFAT, the only practical file formats for Windows user. Indeed, having fast USB drives have another huge advantage: Saving time when exporting songs from Rekordbox.Īs shown in this video, transferring 199 MP3s takes 2 minutes with the Corsair GTX 3.0 drive whereas it takes 12 minutes with a standard PNY USB 3.0.I am a bit surprised how little discussion there has been about this issue. I do recommend paying the extra bucks for the flash drives recommended by Pioneer. They are indeed more expensive than regular ones but that’s because they are very fast! They have been tested by the manufacturer and are certified to work. Otherwise, Pioneer personally recommends two USB flash drives: If you are looking for one that is great for value, I recommend the Sandisk Cruzer Flair. One brand that is often quoted by users for working great is “Sandisk”. If none of the above solutions work, that means you need a new USB stick. USB sticks recommended for Rekordbox and Pioneer CDJs. Therefore, it is always better to stick with something formatted in FAT32.īelow is an image showing how to check if your USB is in FAT32: FAT16 is an old system used for small storage devices. HFS+ is also fine but won’t be recognized by Windows. While ExFAT can be used by Rekordbox, it is not compatible with Pioneer players. It is recommended to use FAT32 as much as possible because it will be recognized by Windows, Mac, and CDJs. The USB stick is not in FAT32Īnother reason Rekordbox doesn’t recognize a USB device is its file system. If it’s not, that means you may have a formatting problem. So first, check if your USB stick is showing in export mode. The only way to have an external drive working as a source is to store your music and Rekordbox database on that device ( more on that here). That stick won’t show up in performance mode as a source afterward.īecause of that, you cannot share exported USB sticks between friends to share your library. For instance, if you previously used the export mode to put files on a USB stick. In some cases, a USB storing device won’t show up in performance mode. You are using performance mode and not export mode There are several reasons for Rekordbox not recognizing a USB drive: 1. Reasons for Rekordbox not detecting USB stick or portable hard drive ![]()
