How can i use a usb on rekordbox performance, without having to import all the songs?

With my controller (DDJ - RX) i cant read anything in rekordbox of any usb, unless i go to export mode, where i cannot use my controller? 

This is really anoying as i dont want to download all my songs to my laptop when i go to play.. Is there a way to fix this or bypass neading to download all my songs on to my neally full laptop :?

This ability is already being considered for a future update - the problem is/was in the design of the database and the inability to load multiple databases.

Thanks for your feedback.

Using rekordbox dj (performance mode) currently relies on having the music in your collection, not from an export device - that database is designed for a player (like a CDJ or XDJ).

How did you get the music on that USB drive in the first place?

Not sure if this is what Marinus is referring to but it would be super handy to be able to plug someone else's thumbdrive of rekordbox exported tracks into your laptop and run them through performance mode so you can go back to back with each other using a controller setup / dvs setup etc
