I exported tracks and playlists from rekordbox ver. 7 to a USB storage device, but when I connect the device into the CDJ-3000X, I cannot browse the tracks or playlists. The device works fine on other players.

The CDJ-3000X can browse tracks and playlists on a USB storage device only if OneLibrary (formerly Device Library Plus) has been exported to that device.
Follow the steps below to export OneLibrary.

Note: If you are using XDJ-AZ, OPUS-QUAD, or OMNIS-DUO, export OneLibrary using the same procedure as for the CDJ-3000X.

OneLibrary Export Procedure

Update rekordbox ver. 7 to the latest version
In rekordbox, go to [Help] menu > [rekordbox update manager] to perform the update.
Launch rekordbox and connect a USB storage device into your PC/Mac
In the Media Browser, go to [Devices] > your USB storage device name, right-click [OneLibrary], and select [Convert from Device Library].

This operation exports a OneLibrary with the same content as the existing Device Library to the USB storage device.

After that, you will be able to browse tracks and playlists on the CDJ-3000X just as you can on other players.

From then on, whenever you export tracks or playlists to a USB storage device, the files will be automatically added to both the existing Device Library and the OneLibrary.

Caution: If you convert when OneLibrary already exists on the USB storage device, it will be overwritten. As a result, any playlists or playback histories stored only in OneLibrary will be lost.
For more details, please refer to the "USB Export Guide".

The volume sometimes drops suddenly when I’m playing iTunes music files on rekordbox.
