CDJ 2000 playing previous CD

As a professional DJ I have been using the premium 1000/2000 series for a long time now.

However, since the introduction of the 2000 series, I notice some very strange behavior when using CD's on these devices. The following is present on all firmware versions and on the CDJ2000 and CDJ2000 Nexus. It also happens on me at least once in each set.

I use a lot of CD-R's all containing one track each.

The scenario is as follows:

  • Put in Disk 1 with track 1 on it. CDJ 2000 loads the disk, displays "Track 1" on the screen and Track 1 can be played
  • Eject Disk 1 and put in Disk 2 with track 2 on it.
  • CDJ2000 displays "Track 2" on the screen, however, the sound coming out of the player is still Track 1 !!!

It seems the sound of the first track is still in some memory buffer which causes the wrong track to play.

Ejecting Disk 2 again and putting Disk 2 back in, still causes the track from the first Disk to play. Only solution is to power cycle the CDJ2000.

This might sound unbelievable, but I have shown this to DJ-colleagues in real life and they were astonished.

i think i know why this is happening. each time a disc gets burnt, it generates some kind of checksum ID to identify it based on the properties of the track. because you're only burning single discs, the chances of these IDs being the same is much greater than a disc with multiple tracks so the player thinks the new disc is actually the old one and is playing the track from the onboard cache.

it's the same principle as sometimes happens by opening a Prince cd into iTunes and the track listing comes up as a Madonna album from the database it looks up from. that's my guess anyway. you should be able to test it by noting which cds this happens to and it should be something you can repeat if my theory is correct.

it sounds like the firmware needs to be tweaked to dump the cache when a disc is ejected, which is effectively what you're doing by powering off/on the deck.

I wonder if pressing the eject button twice would be a solution.
