Topic: CDJ Export Questions
On CDJ Export screen, what does the checkbox "Keep Synchronized" exactly? What is the difference with the Cue Sync and Stems sync options in the CDJ key properties?

Also, when there is an error on exporting a playlist (let's a few tracks have broken paths), the error message only shows the first file that failed despite showing a message telling multiple files have failed. This is a bit painful to track all the files that have failed. There is a similar when a playlist could not be synced, the message will only tell "A playlist failed to synchronize" when plugging the key without telling telling which one (I guess this what the "Keep synchronized" checkbox is related to but it's not clear).

'Keep synchronized' means that every time the USB stick is connected to the computer, VirtualDJ will synchronize any changes to the list or folder that was exported.
 
It does not seem to work consistently for playlists defined by filters (which are converted to normal playlists when exported). It's not blocking however, re-exporting the playlist will work. Normal playlists work well though.

Thanks a lot to the dev team, the CDJ export feature has been improved a lot over the last few weeks, hotcues and tag sync work fine which is the most important.
 
So what was changed on the CDJ with Tracks from those Playlists, and did not get synchronized with the Local Playlists ? Can you give an example ?
 
With filter based lists, the song list does not update properly. It does update though, but not with all new / removed songs, it's like the sync stops after a while (I tend to have large filter lists, I use them to sync large lists by genre or broad tags on CDJ keys). The cues and tags are synced fine though, like with normal lists.
