is it necessary? i mean, i can do it. mp3's on cdj 800 mk2 works horrible - player have problems with reading tracks (error e-8 something) and it is SLOW. cdj need anout 6-7 second to recognize the track.

You'll get a similar poor loading speed if you don't analyze and export using Rekordbox, and the BPM won't show up til 15-30 secs into a track.

i dont't care about BPM counting, seriously. it's not so important. i'm worried about tracksearching and reading errors. meh. i put m songs on Cd (mp3 and cd audio) and usb drive for sure.
If you analyse using Rekordbox then burn to CD does that make any difference?
If it does, does it make any difference on 800s/1000s?
Waveforms certainly help a lot for track searching. Rekordbox does not work with 800s/1000s, and only works for USB sticks and SD cards AFAIK.

i'm usualy mixing in TTs, because pair of badass turntables + Serato/Traktor or Cross is MUCH cheaper than CDJs. even cheapest cdjs (350) are more expensive than (for example) pair of tt500 or even technics with secondhand Serato sl2. i don't know how to use Rekordbox, the only CDJ's i were using are 800s and 1000s. i'm not using hot cues, slip mode, quantize - just basic functions. so, when i put my songs on usb stick that will work?
With Rekordbox you just drag your music into the main window, wait for it to process, then right click what you want and press Export.
You can also compile playlists within Rekordbox.
Otherwise you can just copy MP3 files within folders to the USB stick if you aren't interested in waveforms/BPMs/playlists/cuepoints.

I downloaded Rekordbox. it doens't work
. at first windows shows me "unable to find Wlanapi.dll" when i click ok, rekordbox wants license key. what shoul i do?
You have to register with pioneer and then you will be emailed a rekordbox license key - go to this link http://rekordbox.com/download/licensekey.php?lang=en
Also its a good idea to use rekordbox to manage your library for CDJs (900 and up) IMO so you can get the bpm and everything for your tracks - even though you probably wont need it!
