Rekordbox ios : accessing songs on USB flashdrive

Hi,
I'm the happy owner of XDJ RX, and used to connect the RX to my Rekordbox on my laptop.
I'd like now to get rid of my laptop and i migrated my librairy onto a USB flashdrive.
With old iOs Rekordbox mobile, I used to be able to access the songs by flipping on the USB icon on iOS. But now with the latest iOS version (2.0), I can't find how to do that.
Could you tell me how to do it ?
thanks in advance for your help.
Sylvain.

Technically you haven't "migrated" your library...

The RX requires an export library in order to read the contents of the USB drive. Even if that drive is your primary drive for your rekordbox library and you have the database stored on that drive, you still need to export or the RX will not read it.

As @BriChi notes, the ability to read the contents of the USB drive from an iOS device was via remotebox, and that function is only available on the R1 (and won't be available on other units).

I didn't thing the RX and Rekordbox has that feature, Right now i believe only the R1 has the feature and its not even Rekordbox mobile that does it, its called "Remotebox" where the iPhone can read the flash drive plugged into the deck

Hi,
I do understand that this is now available on Remotebox (and was probably before), but this functionnality was also available on Rekordbox iOS. Why dropping it in the version ?
It was quite nice to navigate between the iphone / ipad librairys and usb drives (exported or main).
Is there any chance to see this functionality in an upgrade of Rekordbox mobile ?

@sylvain > This feature was never available on rekordbox mobile, only remotebox, and only with the R1.

You can still browse the library of the files exported to the iOS device, but not remotely browse the USB drive.

@Pulse,
I'm really sorry but i have to tell you that you are wrong.
if you check on youtube, there are plenty of videos that show that you could access the songs on a flashdrive from Rekordbox iOS. This was available since Pioneer added the remotebox functionailty to rekordbox iOS.

please show the video because the RX does not work with Remotebox therefore the feature was not there for you to be able to see songs on the USB drive from your phone. . Remotebox is for the R1, not the RX

@sylvain > Sorry, I don't recall that feature ever being part of the rekordbox app. If you say there are "plenty" of videos, please link one or two so I can see them.

once again, this was available on Rekordbox ios, not remotebox !
and this was available for XDJ Aero (i owned one before the RX), and XDJ RX. there was a little USB icon on the bottom (see image to the right : https://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fya20.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F10%2Fd6a0c__piorekordboxsoftwareksks.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Felectronicdevicesjb.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F10%2Fpioneer-xdj-aero-examen-un-controleur.html&h=283&w=620&tbnid=dPHEYqqTSpxRnM%3A&docid=zjfJUIbAKSOphM&ei=yAP3Vf_MLoasa8-7jNAE&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=389&page=1&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=0CEcQrQMwDWoVChMI_9D4q4b3xwIVBtYaCh3PHQNK)
when you clicked on it once connected to the player, and if you had a usb flashdrive in the USB1 or 2 port, it would read the songs.
@Pulse, if you still have an iphone / ipad with the old version somewhere, i suggest you try it and you'll see by yourself.

right, its for the Aero, I have never heard of or seen this work on the RX, I could be wrong but I would think people would know this and it would be in videos if it was. there is nor documentation that it works, and if it did, awesome!

Yes, it did work with the AERO, but that was the only unit I was aware of it ever working with. Unfortunately if it has been removed as functionality with the RX, there must be a reason.

hi guys,
ok so i found a way to downgrade to the older version of Rekordbox ios on my iphone. And indeed, i have to apologize, the functionality was NOT available for the XDJ RX.
My mind must have played me... Somehow I was sure to have used it with the RX.
Sorry for the bothering !
BUT, it would be a great add on if it was available :)

@sylvain > No worries! We know there is interest in having this kind of feature but there is a lot of other work going on right now with the release of the new rekordbox.
