Denon DJ just announced a firmware update to its SC5000 Prime flagship media player. Now at version 1.0.3, the update gives the SC5000 Prime the ability to use thumb drives and SD cards containing music prepared using Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox software. The SC5000 Prime automatically converts hot cues, saved loops, and playlists so you can access all of them when spinning on an SC5000 Prime. That means you can turn up to a club with your USB sticks as you normally would, plug them into the SC5000 Prime and you’re off to the races.

• Now, while rekordbox is perfect for people that have Pioneer controllers, the compatibility isn't the same if you are using a controller for a different brand. In fact, I would argue that Serato is a little bit better when it comes to being compatible with a wider array of controllers. Pioneer CDJ-3000 Vs Denon SC6000: Main Pros & Cons.
• The Denon DJ SC6000 PRIME media player is now available at Guitar Center. Based on the innovative SC5000 PRIME media player, the SC6000 is boasts a 10.1″ touchscreen and Wi-Fi music streaming. Featuring a large 8.5″ jog wheel and performance pads, this professional-grade DJ media player is ready to take on the main stage at any event.

ENGINE PRIME is Denon DJ's powerful Music Analysis and Management software that helps you organize, categorize and import your music, either fully integrated from Rekordbox, iTunes, Serato and NI Traktor collections (including hot cues and loop info) or via drag 'n drop from existing music folders. Hi, ist it possible to use the Denon MC 6000 MKII with rekordbox. I used to use this controller as my backup. I tried it my self but without success. The SC6000 is dual-layer capable, playing two separate tracks simultaneously. Its jog-wheel has an increased 8.5' 'hands-on,' platter surface area for track cue, pitch and scratch manipulation. Add new rubber button, subtly lit and tactile feel trigger pads for more.

This is an important development because it means that Denon DJ has essentially made Rekordbox-prepared USB drives “cross platform” (at least as far as Pioneer DJ and Denon DJ Prime gear go). Club DJs who have spun with Rekordbox-prepared music on USB sticks and CDJs for years can now potentially get that same experience on an SC5000 Prime set-up without having to re-export their music using the Engine Prime laptop software.
