CDJ 1000mk3 SD Cards

CDJ 1000mk3 SD Cards

Hey everyone, I just ordered my first pair of CDJ 1000mk3s and was wondering if the SD cards can store music? I know they save hotcues and wave data, but I’ve read conflicting answers online that say they can or can’t hold music. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Music can’t be stored on them, unfortunately. The 350, 400, 850, 900, and 2000 are the CDJs that can play music from USB.

Nope no music can be stored on them. Kind of a downside as i NEVER use the SD cards but if they stored music i would..

Thanks for the responses :slight_smile:

Can SD cards hold waveforms?!

Any recommendations on specific SD cards? I picked up 2 SD (not SDHC) cards from best buy and kept getting the “UNFORMAT” warning on the mk3 and am going to return them.

Can you not format them in the cdj?

I’ve read the MK3 manual several times over and can’t find out how to do it on the CDJ. Maybe I’m missing something obvious in the print. Do you know how to format the SD card?

You can format it in your computer?

Pure speculation but it might be possible they would have trouble with larger sd cards. I used 512mb ones when i had mine and I know my DB4 has issues with any usb drive over 4gb… It is just holding cue points s find small cheap ones?

I think I was wrong about being able to format the card with the cdj. I can check for you when I get back home next week.
I remember accidentally formatting a card in my pc once and I downloaded a tool some where to format them. I just had a quick look on Google but couldn’t find it

No need for a tool. You can right click it and format it in windows or format it in the disk utility in mac. Probably want to format it FAT32 if I had to guess.

I vaguely remember that the memory cards didn’t work after a normal format. Don’t really remember why as I’ve used the same memory cards for the last 5 or so years. I can check next week if no one else gets to

So guys can you recommend me a sd card for cdj-2000s?
