encryption for music drive

hello dear team 

i have a macbookpro  setup with the 2nd drive which replace the cd.

I use that for my music collection

As per manual i have formatted the 2nd drive in fat 32 with the  option master boot to work smoothly with rekordbox 

Now im trying to encrypt the drive but the system say that cannot be encrypted because need to be on guid formatted 

what are other option to do the encryption

 

thanks

More to the point, rekordbox doesn't play well with drives mounted in the optical bay based on the mounting technique. Hopefully in future this will be resolved, our engineers are aware of that issue.

You don't need fat32 in a MacBook Pro if you mounted it in the optibay. I don't think OS X will encrypt a fat32 drive anyway.

Why are you trying to encrypt it anyhow? If it's only your music collection, that seems a bit of an extreme measure.

i hade the drive formatted in osx jouraled but since i reformatted in fat 32 rekordbox seem a bit faster on the database management side,the software doesn't crash as often it used to be

Well yes it just my music collection which is my work, but trust me that is not extreme measure, extreme would be not to have it online at all

in term of software i can understand rekordbox will not work with encrypted file because does his own manipulation of file, but that i reckon is something that could be fixed in the next future upgrade.

For the main time i found a solution ,which is instead to encrypt the all drive, i will only create an encrypted folder where i will move my own collection 

I didnt tested it yet but i recon it should work 

please share your thought
