USB & CDJ-2000
Hey guys,
I'm spinning at a club here in New York City and lately I've gotten my hands on a lot of new music. As it is, it is not worth it for me to keep burning CD's, so I've decided to go the USB route. i wanted to know, however, if there was a particular or favorite USB for the Pioneer CDJ-2000? If there is a type of USB stick -- a brand, if you will -- that is known for working really, well with these decks -- I want it. Can anyone please offer any solid sticks that are good in quality, durable and trust-worthy?
Also, as I no longer own my decks, I never really cared about going into USB mode. If I remember correctly, all I have to do is click the USB-button and I'm there, right? Would it be better if my Pioneer-dedicated USB drives don't have any folders within them, just audio files? I really don't want to give myself problems when I go up to spin; unfortunately, burning all the new tunes I have to CD's is not an option.

I can suggest the one I have been using. http://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Flash-256-bit-encryption-PSF32GBTUSB/dp/B003D8V8KM. Very smooth reliable transfer and delivery. It was recommended as one in a list by Pulse I believe. I keep adding WAV files to this it is a bit over half full now and performs great.
Just don't get a cheap one if you don't want to have issues with speed I would say and reliability. This little stick I recommended is solid little tank. Don't buy it without buying a keychain USB sleeve or something - you don't want to loose the cap but above all so you don't loose or damage it.
I use this one.. http://www.corsair.com/usb-drive/flash-survivor-usb-drives/cmfsra64gbgt2.html
I never had problems. Patriot I hear is also good, but to be honest I have never used them.
As movingzachb said above if you want a good performance usb stick don't cheap "out"
I have a 32GB SanDisk that has worked well for me. Whatever you buy - budget for 2. Always worth having a backup.
See my flash-drive thread.
