Hi,
Sorry to be such a noob on this issue, but until recently have always spun on 1210's. I have been given a couple of Cdj1000 mk2's by a friend upgrading and was told that they are not mp3 compatible. I have tried several CD-R'S full of mp3's and everyone of them have played fine!
This I am not moaning about, but am getting no track info on the CDJ, no matter where i input this. Do I have to save these tunes into a different format to get this (and if so what), or do I have to stop being so pedantic and write a track list to check manually (surely not this is the digital age or so i am being forcefully told) =).
Thanks for any help you can give this digital dinosaur.
* Bring back the 1210's, Traktor's should be found in a field*

Well, your friend wasn't lying to you -- the CDs you put in there would not work. I'm guessing you burned them as audio CDs and simply didn't include the CD-TEXT information on the burn. Go back and double-check it, I'm certain that if you were to put in a data CD that the unit would not read it.
i am also curious on this , i have a cdj 800 mk1 - this plays mp3 audio cds . it also lists bpm etc fine . these are cds burned through windows media player burned as audio cds at the lowest speed . will these cds play on a 1000 mk2 ?
MP3s 'burned as audio CDs' are not MP3s, Windows Media Player etc will convert them for you to standard Audio CDs. CDJ-1000MK2 and CDJ-800MK1 cannot read MP3 files, if you want the track title etc you need to use CD-TEXT as Pulse has pointed out.
