Nexus, lockups and file formats
Following on from some posts made by BriChi, I've done some testing with unanalyzed files on a FAT-32 USB stick. Master tempo was on, the pitch was not set to zero, and I've been messing around with loops and hot cues.
There were three files on the USB stick. One was a 320kbps CBR MP3 file encoded using the LAME encoder. One was a 256kbps AAC file purchased from the iTunes store. The 3rd was an AIFF file ripped from CD using iTunes.
I've been able to make the player crash when using the MP3 crash pretty quickly (with 5-10 minutes or so) when playing around. I've not (yet) been able to crash the player with the AAC or AIFF file by doing much the same thing. So, here's my big question:
Has ANYONE experienced any crashes or lock-ups when using a file type OTHER THAN MP3?
I'll re-post my original question from one of the other (closed) threads below - let's see if we can shed a bit more light on where things are going wrong, what can be done to avoid the problems in the short term, and what exactly needs fixing.
Can we please keep the rants elsewhere for now - I'm looking for answers, ideas, confirmation/debunking of theories etc, not another locked thread.

I just spent around 10 minutes using a CD and hammering on hot cues. That's usually enough to get the player to lock up when playing MP3 files, but the CD seemed to be OK.
That's not to say it will definitely be OK playing CDs - the players have other bugs too, and I doubt many people are playing CDs on them, so there's always a small possibility that you could run into a bug that nobody has found yet - but the main freezing bug we've been looking into seems to be specific to setting and using CUE points with MP3 files.
Please let us know how it goes - right now, it's as important for us to know what does work as it is to know what doesn't. If you manage to play an entire set on CDs without problems, we'd like to know.

yes, just played with some newly converted via iTunes AIFF files, within 10 minutes of playing the following happened that I made a new thread on with a video capturing it, ::: http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/22327512-nexus-now-locking-up-on-aiff-files-video-inside-of-course
