I think there’s a few different things available. I use wav patcher https://www.reddit.com/r/Rekordbox/s/a1CeeFr6UM

is there a difference between wav and aiff? why would you go with wav over aiff? is it just preference?

Sorry meant to say, I use Audacity. Free and great.

Someone correct me if I’m off the mark here - Apple developed the aiff format, it’s kinda tied to the apple ecosystem to an extent, no difference in quality between the two. FLAC is just a really good lossless compressed size file format, should arguably be the standard.

Does anyone have experience of changing the play button on a cdj 2000? I’ve seen YouTube videos that make it look ok. But I’ve also seen YouTube videos that make plastering look easy. And it ain’t! So a word from the wise would be appreciated.

I had my play/cue buttons replaced on a Pioneer XDJ R1 controller by an official Pioneer repair service after checking out the alternatives you are considering here (and checking with clubs and other owners of dj gear) . They all said the same : have it properly done, so I thought I’d rather invest a bit more than messing up my device.

Fair enough! I can barely change my socks, so this adventure may be beyond my skill set. Cheers for the advice.

Does this create a new file or edit the existing one?

Looking for a method that doesn’t create a duplicate

In audacity it would create a new file in a different format. What you’re describing is a batch command where you dump a bunch of files in a folder and the software opens and saves in a different format. ffmpeg is apparently worth a look for this type of batch processing.

Strange one this… It’ll be good to find out why this didn’t quite work…

For anyone looking for FLAC versions of pop tunes I’ve been buying from https://uk.7digital.com/ for a few years, seems to be some distro setup, usually cheaper than Beatport etc
