How do you ensure that the entire track order you had on rekordbox playlist on your laptop, will show up in the exact same order when you plug in your usb on a new hardware? Thanks for the awesome videos.

Nice tutorial!!! That is the progress of exporting playlists created with songs in your COMPUTER to the DRIVE.
What If I copy the songs from COMPUTER to the DRIVE first, then create playlists in RKB (DEVICE > New playlist), then drag the songs from DRIVE into the New playlist? Is it worked? Thank you so much!!!

Perfect explanation my friend, you da man!

So you need to have the music on your usb. Just dragging and dropping it in there. But not only this, you also need to export via rekordbox. Am I right? Lets say I have a folder on my usb with all my techno songs ánd a folder pioneer after exporting which contains a playlist with all the analysed techno songs. Because if I only export a playlist and I have no physical songs on my usb, it will not work..

Hey, thanks! On my own laptop it works buttt I ve worked on my friends laptop for a while in her rekordbox and wanted to export my songs ( with cues) ... didn t work! :/ I tried it through just clicking not synchronizing bc i m scared it will erase my 200 other songs on my dj usb... Can you help me out? Thanks!

Excellent tutorial Dexter.
I have a pioneer xdj rx, and a lot of times while playing, one or both of my connected usb drives give me a "track not analyzed message" Or sometimes "file is missing"
When I get the "track not analyzed" message the track will still play but will not show any rekordbox info / wav form on the display.
This happens after playing for a couple of hours and it happens to random tracks. When I connect the usb drives to rekordbox and click on "show missing files" the files are not missing and don't seem to be corrupted. (My tracks are all bought from sites like beatport and traxsource in mp3 320mbps format) When inserting the usb drive to my xdj rx again the tracks that had errors before play without a problem. I have updated both my xdj rx and rekordbox to the latest versions.
The usb drives I use are two identical, metal, kingston 128gb data travelers 3.0 with about 59gb used.
I never have any of these problems when I plug the usb drives into a pioneer cdj 2000 nexus player. Do you know how this can be solved? Or what the problem could be?
Your help is appreciated.

I feel like I’ve tried everything in this video, has something changed? I can’t get my playlist or my waves to show up

[flatertjes]

Bedankt voor je tutorials!!
Ik ben net begonnen met Rekordbox icm cdi 2000 (2 dagen)
er staat lig Muziek op de usb...
al ben ik niet tevreden over de kwaliteit van mijn mp3's
bij jou op rekordbox zie ik dat de waves gekleurd zijn en bij mij zijn ze blauw
heeft dat met geluidskwaliteit te maken?
