Rekordbox doesn't detect 2nd USB stick.
I'm running Rekordbox on a 2011 MBP i5. The problem is when i am exporting playlists to my USB sticks, the 2nd stick is not detected. I have to quit Rekordbox and make the system recognise the 2nd stick, then Rekordbox will detect it.
I tried it the other way round (export to other stick first) with the same results. The second stick is always undetected. I can just keep re-plugging the 2nd stick until it is detected but this has caused the USB database to corrupt (meaning the stick does not read properly in a player). Also it is strange because when i quit Rekordbox it takes a few re-plugs of the second stick before even the system will recognise it. Away from Rekordbox, the system detects both sticks with no problem.
I can work around it by restarting Rekordbox for each export but obviously, the software was not designed that way.

I am using the disk utility in OSX 10.8.5 to format in FAT.
I have noticed an odd behaviour which is that, while Rekordbox 3 is running, any USB sticks that are plugged in only show in Rekordbox (usually the USB stick will show on the desktop).

Yes, my sticks are formatted that way. One partition, master boot record, formatted in FAT.
I really believe the problem is with Rekordbox 3. As i stated previously, i can get round this problem by restarting Rekordbox between each export.
Also, Rekordbox 3 is the only software i know, that completely takes over control of the USB stick (when i plug it in, Rekordbox detects it but the system does not). I do not recall this happening in previous Rekordbox versions and it definitely doesn't happen with Cross and Traktor.
