XDJ-RX set up idiots guide please!!!

…OK – getting somewhere.

I’ve given up on the idea of streaming the music from Rekordbox wirelessly via my NAS drive (unless you think it’s worth pursuing?)

I can easily upload stuff to flash drives – I guess I’ll just need to buy a few to keep everything fresh.

Next question is about tagging…I’ve created loads of useful tags on Rekordbox but my XDJ-RX doesn’t seem to read them. When I press the ‘tag list’ button I get no returns – yet I can clearly see the tags have been embedded in the tracks as comments.

Any idea how I can drill down through my tracks using tags via the controller?

Thanks for coming back!

Hehe – yes I realise how ridiculous this sounds…but the tags were added in Rekordbox using ‘tags’ but when they appear on the XDJRX they don’t seem to appear as such (but I can still see them if I click ‘info’ under comments).

Ah well – I’m sure it’s a matter of time before I get to the bottom of this one.

Yes I tried that but it doesn’t seem to be reading the laptop – just says ‘no connection’.

I’m not too bothered about this though as it was never my intention to use as a controller – I just wondered if it would be possible to use my NAS drive to stream files wirelessly instead of the flash drive.

I’ve now bought a fancy 500gig flash drive so all good. 😉

My issue now is this:

I’ve spent a lot of time adding tags to all my music in order to give me the option to drill down into sub genres, track elements, keys etc.

I’m still getting used to the features of the XDJ-RX so I may be doing something wrong here…

The logical way to view similar tagged tracks would be to press the ‘tag list’ button while playing the master track. Unfortunately, when I do this I get a blank screen.

My tags are embedded in the tracks because I can view them when I click ‘info’ (they seem to sit in the comments section).

Any idea how to copy these across so I can view them correctly and search with them?

THANKS!
