Rekordbox BPM auto roundoff and drifting problem

Hello hope everyone is good, I have a major problem and hopefully someone can help me with.. So for the longest time I've been using recordbox 3.3 (older version) to analyze and arrange my folders and tracks.. what I didn't like is that on a lot of tracks they were never round it off.. For example if it was advertised at 100BPM, it after being analyzed it would show is 100.7BPM so then I would manually have to change the BPM to 100.. So this past week I downloaded the latest version of rekord box 4.3.0 had all my tracks reanalyzed and didn't realize it put all my tracks back to where they were before BPM wise.. so now I have to go back and gimmick the BPM again if that makes any sense.. is there a feature or a way that the BPM is automatically rounded off? I also noticed that after re-analyzing all of my tracks in the latest version of record box , MAJOR DRIFTING while I was DJ Ing this past weekend! I never had that problem before till I reanalyzed all of my tracks in the latest version of record box.. So my question is there a difference in the way tracks are analyzed in the older version of record box versus the newer version?? Also can someone help me figure out as to why I am experiencing a drifting problem while Djing all of a sudden?? I'm using currently using a pair of cdj2000nxs with my USB.. thank you all in advance your help is greatly appreciated

I'm having the same issue but I am utilizing the xdj-r1.

One thing I've read but yet to try is to analyze my music in a different platform then exporting back into rekordbox. You just have to make sure to save or lock the ID3 tags so that rekordbox wont re-analyze. 

I've had great beatgrid analysis with virtual dj and Djay for mac. It wont beatgrid perfect on the first try but as long you mark the first down beat the rest will be perfect. No need to play through the track to fix the entire song. 

BPM stays the same as well. No drifting. Ill attempt this later today and let you know of the outcome. 

Cross your fingers

Thanks Gilbert! I appreciate it buddy! Any help on this matter would help st this point.. I've been reading through some of the topics on here, and Pulse mentions something about a "secret folder" I was thinking maybe perhaps that could be it? Pulse could you help me out on this? Would it possibly do the trick if I deleted everything from my USB's and reapplied everything all over again? Your help is greatly appreciated

I have the same issue. I tend to format and reogranise my laptop a lot so often I do a rescan of my completely reformed library and in the later itterations of the software I experienced the drifting as well. Also, the quantising often doesn't 'snap' the grid onto the other grid. Strange thing is that this mostly happens when DJing with my controller and not with 'prepared' USB-sticks on CDJ's.
