Topic: CDJ Export Codec
Is there a way to transcode unsupported formats (depending on compatibility mode) to mp3 instead of aac when using CDJ export?

I think if you set cdjExportCompatibility to CDJ400
 
I thought also, but unfortunately it still exports in aac in this mode, so I wondered if there was a hidden setting :(
 
Checked, and on cdj400 it should only export mp3

Edit: looks like there was indeed a bug causing it to still select aac, will be fixed
 
Thanks! :)
 
Conversion to mp3 is working in last early access (b8950), but the waveform is not exported.

More precision:

When exporting a playlist that contains, let's say, FLAC files:
- if export compatibility is set to CDJ2000, then FLAC files are transcoded as aac flies, and their waveform is exported and shown correctly (both in VirtualDJ CDJ view and Rekordbox),
- if export compatibility is set to CDJ400, then FLAC files are transcoded as MP3 but their waveform is not exported: it does not appear in VirtualDJ CDJ view nor in Rekordbox (files can be played though).

I think cdj400 does not support waveform...am i mistaken? (i had a pair like more than 10 years ago..)
 
CDJ400 doesn't support any library either (it does not support anything except reading from a FAT32 USB), the compatibility option is just to ensure files can be read by the device, it will still build a DeviceLibrary/OneLibrary that later devices can be read. The waveforms of the files that are already MP3 are exported, it's just the ones of the transcoded files that are not.
