• Tracks and playlists can be exported to rekordbox (iOS/Android).

• When you click [Update Collection], information updated in rekordbox (iOS/Android).  Including Cue, Beat Grids, Colour, Rating and Comments can be reflected in the [Collection] in your computer.
• rekordbox supports the XDJ-AERO.
• The XDJ-AERO connected to rekordbox via wireless LAN can play the music files in rekordbox.

• Added a function to fix misaligned Beat Grid and Cue information of mp3 files that had been encoded by LAME encoder with the gapless setting and have been analyzed and adjusted by rekordbox before version 1.5.3.

As of version 1.5.4, rekordbox has disabled gapless playback of LAME-encoded mp3 files.  For details of ver. 1.5.4 please refer to the Changelog for v1.5.4 below.

v1.5.4
July 3rd, 2012

Changelog:

Version 1.5.4 is only for MEP-4000 and new rekordbox users. Version 1.5.4 disables gapless playback for MP3 files encoded with the LAME encoder on players such as the CDJ-2000. Disabling gapless playback for MP3 files encoded with the LAME encoder in Version 1.5.4 will shift existing beat grids, loops or cue points of mp3 files encoded with the LAME encoder that have been analysed and adjusted with an older version of rekordbox. The offset value depends on the sampling frequency of the file: 24ms (in the case of 48kHz), 26ms (in the case of 44.1 kHz). However, it does not alter the audio play back on the CDJ's just visually inside rekordbox, therefore you do not need to reanalyse your tracks and redefine the beat grids, loops or cue points.

Pioneer will provide a tool to automatically adjust the beat grids, loops or cue point data in a future update. We recommend that you wait.

• Music files can be copied from Collection to Explorer (Windows)/ Finder (Mac) by Drag & Drop.
• If there is a wrong data in ID3 tag, it will be ignored, and the other correct information will be displayed.
• Tab key works to move the cursor in [Information] pane.
• When importing from File menu, the last folder that was previously opened opens first.
• Fixed an issue that a short track whose BPM is analyzed as 0 caused rekordbox to crash when adjusting beat positions.
• Fixed an issue that Bit Rate of AIFF files was always shown as VBR.
• Fixed is an issue that editing Tag of ID3 v2.2 and re-reading it caused Artwork to disappear.
