XDJ 1000 iTunes m4a

Hello, I have searched everywhere and cannot find an answer.

I recently bought 2 XDJ 1000's to use with Traktor. It works great.

I am having a problem using them with my music on USB drives. I am having a problem specifically with m4a files. These are songs that are purchased and downloaded from Promo Only.

A few details about my gear:

XDJ's are updated to the latest firmware

MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.4

iTunes version 11.4

I drag and drop on my usb drive, eject from my computer plug it into the XDJ. It will play everything except my Promo Only music.

What am I doing wrong here?

M4A might not work as it's a wrapper for a codec. Try converting them.

Aren't these somehow DRM protected?

They are watermarked, but not DRM. They play in iTunes and Traktor with no problem, but when I put them on to a USB drive and plug it directly into the player, they won't play.

1 thing i should have stated in my original post.... my m4a files are 1411 kbps where as the rest of my mp3's are 320 kbps.

I decided I want to revisit this issue. Does anyone know if there is or is going to be an update to play these file types?

If I were to convert these files, how would I go about doing this? Here is what I would like to do if possible...

Put a certain playlist of songs on my USB drive and only convert the USB drive, not my entire collection. When I add songs, I just convert those as well. What software would I use? Either free or paid software doesn't bother me I just want something that works properly and can accomplish what I want to do.

Firmware updates are mainly reserved for issue fixes and to ensure software compatibility. There are currently no plans to add new features to existing products.

...and so the NXS2 had to be "fixed" with the new matching feature.... ;-D

Ver.1.40 Update
[NEW]

MATCHING: New feature that displays related tracks based on rekordbox information.

@Marek > The CDJ-2000NXS2 is a current-line product whereas the XDJ-1000 is now a discontinued model. As @Mark indicated, new features will not be added to discontinued products, but fixes will (see the R1 firmware update released last week; it corrected a long-standing bug).
