In this tutorial MixMasterG explains why some WAV files wont load on certain CDJ types, even if those same tracks load perfectly fine in Rekordbox.

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱:
00:00 the problem demonstrated
01:03 welcome
01:38 not a MP3 Vs WAV debate
02:00 The 3 reasons why WAV files don't load on CDJ
03:30 What is the Sample Rate and Bitdepth of my WAV files?
04:16 Find the WAV compatibility of a given CDJ in its manual (freely downloadable online)
05:19 Take away: a WAV track that loads on a CDJ3000 may not load on older CDJs
05:33 creating a new WAV file that will always load (16bit/44.1Khz) This fixes all issues but comes at a price
05:50 download the donation ware XLD here sourceforge.net/projects/xld
06:10 Re-encoding audio files makes it loose all playlist entries, analsysis data, cues loops etc!
07:08 keep track metadata when re-encoding the audio file youtu.be/mVGBsjxvfYc
07:31 Fixing none CDJ loading WAV files using the Rekordbox Collection Tool (no re-encoding involved, no loss of data)
09:52 For safety: export to a fresh formatted USB, exporting to the same USB does not always update defective files with repaired WAVs
