Thanks! Now it's even more confusing!

AlphaTheta introduces backwards incompatibility to give you that little extra surprise when you turn up to a gig, yeaaah!

@DocScott31 Ай бұрын

So wait, you're telling me at some point I might turn up to a gig an my USBs wont work?

Hypothetically, if you practiced at home on a controller that used Device Library Plus (DLP for short) and ONLY saved the DLP library on your USB, it wouldn't work at a club that uses any standalone CDJ, including the CDJ-3000, as no CDJ is compatible with DLP. I don't know if you can save a DLP without also saving a regular Device Library though, that's still a little unclear.

@NasserAlazzawiTV Ай бұрын

@@SebastianBlixI didn’t think there was a way to only save in device library plus. My understanding was allowing DL+ just meant it would make both versions DL and DL+ so you can just dj anywhere.

Yes. Happened to me a few weks ago. I absolutely hate this company for this outragereous change. There is no good reason why new Controlers shouldn't be able to read the Standart Device Library.

It's simple, if you have a USB with your playlist, you have to convert it in the new format, but it will not work with older device, so you have to convert it in a different way, but all the change you made will be made on one or another playlist format depending on how old the gear you use, but if you got only the new format it will not be compatible with the old format and vice versa. I don't see what's confusing here. Just for comparison, Denon DJ update their software AND hardware when they release an update, just to avoid that kind of confusion ;)

@CrisTommasi Ай бұрын

It's not very clear what the advantages of using the new format would be... just the inconvenience of no longer being able to use the format used up to now and getting bored of using two if you use different devices?

@STXVIEC Ай бұрын

But whats the point? the existing database has worked on every type of controller/cdj. Why change it? you guys are really driving this brand into the ground!!

@djadamlive Ай бұрын

What is the difference between Device Library and Device Library plus? Other than one works with bew equipment ans the other works with the old

garbage after garbage, this company is lost.

@VinylVinnie Ай бұрын

What about 1 button in rekordbox to update my USB drive so its DLB and DLB+ compliant? Im not a GUI architect/engineer, but this should be possible? Why make it needlessly complicated?

Does it work with Serato?

@paydaydj2922 Ай бұрын

you should prioritise the track analysis it's so frustrating trying to import disco/funk originals..I've been pioneer since the 100's but djay pro analysis is so much better it's mental..

@bilange Ай бұрын

You can't call it a "standard" when it's in a proprietary format, you know? :)

@PlanetStephane Ай бұрын

It's not open to other brands, it's not standard.

Now would be a great time if everybody switched to denon.

What’s hilarious is how they try to tell us this new Device Library bullshit isn’t confusing LOL

Why? You wanna start a shitstorm?

@SebastianBlix Ай бұрын

Your flagship and most current media players, the CDJ-3000 are NOT compatible with Device Library Plus. Will there be an update to the CDJ-3000 to address this or will we have to wait for the CDJ-3000 replacement?

@ErickT_MX Ай бұрын

CDJ 4000 costing MORE and with worst reliability like the new AZ

If you think even bad buzz is good buzz, you gonna regret this . . .

@NineNineNineNine Ай бұрын

The thing that bothers me is why... why is this necessary? I understand wanting to move into the future with a new programming, but this literally doesn't add anything feature wise to your library. And I'm not a programmer, but by not allowing cross talk between the two formats you've completely shot yourself in the foot. Pioneer DJ has made some makes questionable decisions and I don't think any of us should be surprised at this point that the company with a monopoly on the professional DJ world will continue to do whatever they want regardless of how it affects the consumer

This is terrible, confusing as F and no sense at all.

@jayrolopez Ай бұрын

Everyone, for now, if you aren’t spinning on an Opus Quad or the XDJ-AZ you don’t need to worry about this. It’s annoying but unnecessary otherwise.

@STXVIEC Ай бұрын

I ordered an AZ. will my existing database not work ? it works on cdjs and my old xdj...

@zaraka2 Ай бұрын

This is probably the worst piece of technology ever introduced in the history of DJ tech. Completely incompatible, terrible drama when DJs show up with incompatible USB drives. I can’t comprehend how incapable the engineers at alphatheta are - the whole team should be fired for allowing this to happen.
