- WAV/AIFF Issues:
All players up to and including CDJ-3000 may have issues playing some WAV files which should otherwise be supported. The issue may be more prevalent on outdated (pre-2022) firmware. As always keep your firmware up to date to get the most out of your Pioneer DJ equipment!

tl;dr…
“I always had issues with Pioneer CDJ's not playing some regular wav files (even on the new CDJ-3000!!) and I know lots of people who've had the same experience. It baffled me why I can't play a 48kHz/24-bit file on a player that clearly supports it.”
…
“The actual issue with these WAV files and CDJ's is due to a (often hidden) property embedded into the wav's metadata called WAV_EXTENSIBLE. It's meant to add support for things like multi-channel audio, speaker mappings, etc. It is also used in common wav files, like the hi-res tracks downloaded from Bandcamp- and this is the source of the issue. CDJ's read these files and go 'nope,' despite otherwise being compatible.”"
