Manual checklist

Folder structure

·PIONEER/ folder at the root of the USB
·Pioneer/rekordbox/export.pdb present
·Pioneer/USBANLZ/ with .DAT and .EXT files
·CDJ-3000X and OPUS-QUAD: exportLibrary.db required

Format (FAT32 / exFAT / HFS+)

·FAT32: works on everything, 4GB per-file limit
·exFAT: modern players (CDJ-3000, NXS2, XDJ-RX3…)
·HFS+: Pioneer players that read Mac OS Extended
·NTFS: not read by any Pioneer player

Partition scheme (not detectable here)

·MBR (Master Boot Record): compatible with CDJs
·GUID/GPT: can stop the CDJ from mounting the drive
·Mac: Disk Utility → Info → Partition Map = Master Boot Record
·Win: Disk Management → right-click → Properties

Audio quality

·FLAC/ALAC: only CDJ-3000 and newer players
·MP3 320kbps: universal
·WAV/AIFF 44.1kHz: recommended for professional gigs
·Names without : * ? < > | ; to avoid export failures

Most common CDJ / XDJ errors

·E-8302: corrupted database. Delete export.pdb and re-export in Rekordbox.

·E-8306: export.pdb error. Delete the file and re-export.
