Beatport direct streaming and XDJ-AZ does not work when using Rekordbox exported data on the USB stick
Does anyone use Beatport direct streaming with their XDJ-AZ and have issues with waveforms not appearing? I have the correct Beatport subscription and the track loads fine to play....but it does not perform any analysis. The BPM and key info are both available.
On further investigation, it appears to be something to do with the memory stick and the folder structure created as part of the Rekordbox export process. On my memory stick I deleted a folder called 'Pioneer' and track analysis in Beatport worked fine. However I obviously lost Rekordbox exported data.
It seems you can't have Rekordbox exported data on the same USB stick you want to use with Beatport direct streaming. That's a fairly big restriction.

Hi Ian Warren
What subscription level do you have for Beatport and what audio quality are you using?
Bear in mind that only AAC files will be compatible with XDJ-AZ and our other players, so if you are using FLAC-quality files (Highest-Quality Lossless Audio), these will not be supported.

I have the advanced subscription which is the correct one for DJ integration and there's no option to change to FLAC unless I choose the pro subscription.
As mentioned above, wave forms appear fine when using a blank USB stick. They stop working when using a USB stick with my Rekordbox exported music on the stick.
