How to deactivate Device Library Plus and revert back to old library

I have the same problem. the export to device library plus takes way longer. i clicked 'no' but it still made it. it's so annoying.

Yes please, how does one disable device library plus? My export times have severely increased when clearly everyone wants them to be faster.

There is absolutely no reason in the world to use this new library format, except if you have to play on Opus Quad, since the library is incompatible with all other Pioneer products.

PS: I hope nobody in the world buys this opus quad, this incompatible library situation is scandalous!

I have also the same problem!! It is really annoying that they changed the Rekordbox library-setup completely for just one device. Also, all of a sudden it's no longer possible to add/export tracks manually to playlists on an USBdrive...

Same, need help asap

Same here!

Going back to 6.8.0 is the only thing that solved export problems for me. Download it here https://rekordbox.com/en/support/faq/v6/#faq-q600141

PS: was using a 256GB USB that always froze at 48% so maybe there is a problem with devices over 128GB on 6.8.1. Works fine on 6.8.0.

I suspect this change sent my exporting times over the moon, man oh MAN this program is NEVER something you should update unless you have time to do some real troubleshooting with your equipment.

Reverting to 6.8.0 as DaVOLD here said seem to have fixed it.

Can someone please enlighten me as to WHY i need this extra library?

Same exact problem here, thankfully downgrading to version 6.8.0 solved the issue:

I will be avoiding the new, seemingly unnecessary Device Library Plus!

Once sync manager is fixed this should export properly, there is definitely a bug when using sync manager vs just right clicking and exporting a playlist

for guys that want the Plus library its even worse cause now time is added to the export regardless

4 tests I did with the same 300 track playlist, formatting the drive between tests

tests 1,2 and 3 were doing a right click on the playlist and exporting to drive, test 4 was using sync manager

1. 6.8.0 Device Library PLUS only - export time 2 minutes, 5 seconds

2. 6.8.0 Device Library only (no plus library) - export time 3 minutes

3. 6.8.1 - both libraries forced - export time 3 minutes 25 seconds

4. 6.8.1 using sync manager - export time 5 minutes

so I will stick with 6.8.0, device library plus since it is the fastest export time for the OQ that I use until they fix these issues

Same here!!!

Unreal. I clicked No to disable Device Library Plus, Rekordbox created it anyway, the sync is slower, AND when it wrote my library to my USB all the new playlists created with 6.8.2 are empty in previous Device Library and so can't be read on my decks while the same playlists have the correct content for Device Library Plus but none of my gear can read that format.

How the !@##$ does this get past QA?

Yeah same thing here. Export times are way longer, Rekordbox seems to be way slower in general, and my CDJs have now said my USB needs reformatting - which has never happened before. Going to have to revert to 6.8.0. Does anyone know if this means I'll need to re-analyze all my tracks if I revert? 

@Dolemite It will not have to re-analyze. I went back to 6.8.0 and it has been going well.

Same here, sync time is much longer since this new library we don't need was activated.

I understand that the new library might be an improvement internally, but if the sync time is longer, in practice is it's not good for the users. Are there any plans to make it faster?

I will downgrade Rekordbox version too for now.
