Adapting to today's variety of media formats, the CDJ-2000 enable playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices, and from DVDs and SD cards as well on the CDJ-2000. A USB port located on top of the turntable enables users to quickly connect an external storage device such as a Tonium PacemakerTM2 or a hard drive packed with music files, minimizing the need to bring a laptop computer to performances.
The CDJ-2000 includes rekordboxTM, Pioneer's proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ's entire music library. When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifically with the new CDJ turntables. Key elements of Pioneer's rekordbox software:
* Analyze:
* Beats Per Minute (BPM) Data - BPM / Tempo information for each song is identified and processed into rekordbox for use by the DJ in preparing and performing a set.
* Waveform Data - The waveform of each song is identified and then displayed on the bottom screen for quick data visualization and for use with the needle search function on the CDJ-2000 turntable.
Customize:
* Tag Info & Artwork - Edit and customize the file information to performance needs.
* Hot Cues, Cue Points, and Loops - Prepare and customize cues and loops as well as create and manage hot cue banks.
* Playlists - Create, edit and manage customized playlists for various performances.
* Beatgrid - Utilizing the new Quantizing feature, cue points and loops can be set perfectly on-beat. The Quantize feature ensures cue points are set accurately and automatically, correcting and synching beats during manual looping or a real-time cueing, preventing off beat mistakes.
Users can then transfer analyzed music files to their preferred storage media and play them directly from the new CDJ turntables. The software offers song information that can be viewed easily during performances on the CDJs' large displays to quickly search and access content by genre, title, BPM, etc. Also, as analyzed tracks are played through the CDJ products, the turntables automatically create and save a play history enabling users to review past performances on their PCs.
Pro DJ Link
The new turntables feature Pioneer's Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ-2000/900s to be connected via the Link Port to share a single music source, whether it is a hard drive, USB and/or SD memory card. Once linked, users have the ability to quickly find, display and choose the music file from a connected source through the CDJ's built-in display and control knobs. A quick turn of the knob lets users scroll through created files and folders and a push of the knob confirms the song choice.
Advanced Connectivity
The new turntables feature a 24-bit/48 kHz sound card and HID and MIDI control compatibility via USB port. Up to 35 controls on the surface of each player can be used to trigger other devices, such as DJ effecters and software by way of HID and/or MIDI.
The HID controls were implemented into the players for superior interfacing with software, faster communication speed over MIDI, audio/visual streaming and two-way information on displays. HID enables easy, precise and native control of DVS systems such as SeratoTM Scratch Live3, Native Instruments' Traktor4 series and MixVibes Cross5 without the need for time-coded discs.
CDJ-2000 Enhancements
* LCD panel and Graphic User Interface - The flagship CDJ-2000 features a large WQVGA 6.1-inch full-color 480 x 234 LCD panel for displaying song titles and jacket art as well as detailed track information so DJs can select songs at a glance. The wave data of each song is also illustrated on screen, showing high and low amplitude to further assist DJs.
* Needle Search - Helps DJs instantaneously get to a specific part of a song with a simple touch of the Needle Search pad. Found directly below the CDJ-2000's high resolution LCD panel, the touchpad lets the DJ "place the needle" and jump quickly to a specific part of a music track.
* Jog Dial - Adjustments for tension were enhanced from previous models allowing the DJ to further customize the feel of the jog dial from a light to heavy sensitivity. Four illuminated areas on the sides of the Jog Dial aid the DJ in finding the desired spot on the plate in dim lighting environments.
The Extras
For more accurate tempo control while mixing, each player is enhanced with increased frame increments of 0.5 frames that allow the DJ to set a cue point or loop point with more precision.
To achieve the highest sound quality, both the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 were equipped with the audio industry's highly respected Wolfson DAC processors, delivering a very transparent, accurate audio signal resulting in a highly improved signal-to-noise ratio and increased headroom.
The CDJ-2000 will be available in November 2009 with a suggested retail price of $2,150.
The CDJ-900 will be available in December 2009 with a suggested retail price of $1,600.
FUCK THAT!!! That's WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH!!!
Sick as hell!!
Direct link to traktor and serato without the need for timecode cds!
Price FTL 
CDJ 2000 will do SD Card and DVD playback, CDJ 900 will not.
pretty nice.
hah, it's sounds like the beatmathing ability of ableton built in.
So you set everything up in the software and it makes beatmatching a breeze it sounsd like.
Damn I wish I could get these!
Even I was amazed when I saw them a few months ago. Pretty cool to be able to get rid of having the laptop in front of the DJ (unless you use extra tricks in Ableton and stuff like that). Which means more face shots of the DJ, haha.
Fuck that I think I'm going back to 2 1200s.
They're catering to Bill Gates the DJ.
I like the USB linking thing. one memory stick instead of carrying your CD bag around..
ill bet this will be on many tech riders shortly lol !!
especially those traveling every single weekend non stop..
that's awesome, but no touch screen???
not many will buy because of price, most likely club owners for headliner tech.rider.
i'm still very happy with my CDJ-800 mk2s and CDJ-1000 mk3s
guess i'll just wait until they come out with CDJ-2000 mk2 or mk3 with touch screen 
Wasn't impressed... especially at that price tag. ack. good luck with this one Pioneer.
what a shitty price...
Rukes, instead of looking at a laptop 14"+ screen you're looking at a shitty low res 6.1" screen now? don't really think thats better IMO

Holyyy Woodddyyyy!!
These new CDJs are nice, both 2000 and 900!! I love how they both have bigger lcd screen, capability to browse music via USB, memory card, or even mp3 cds. Oh and that needle search looking sick, aaah aaah can't wait to get a hands-on on either one of that.
It is a little bit pricey though, that's the only downside.
I guess I'm going to stick it with 800 or 1000 mk2 mk3 for a while...
Like everyone else...
Sounds awesome but too pricey!! Too much investment for a club. The 1000 MK3s are already very good.

| Originally posted by RobertStern Yeah, but they will have no choice once all the DJ's have them on their riders |
it'll look really nice in the display section for a long while then
only if this meant that the price of the cdj 1k mk3 was going down...
not significantly, it will not go down that much in value imo

| Originally posted by Clovis Most DJs will likely continue to use the mk3 1000 for a while as these have no new features which warrant putting them on a rider or demanding them of clubs. Most of the guys demanding something other than the mk3 are using DVJs Eventually these new ones will become standard as the supply of mk3's dwindles but not for a while. |
The Pioneer Rep just posted this on another forum to a user who said it was $5000 for 2 CDJ's & A Mixer.
"$5000? Either you missed the bit about MAP pricing (which is what you'll pay on the street), or you're really bad at math. Try $1699 per player."
yeah you guys are right these babies are expensive. They will probably take a year or two to get into most clubs. I don't know if market penetration is a big thing for Pioneer, but remember they are a japanese company, so they will keep pushing the envelope and price accordingly.
These cannot be compared with the CDJ-1000s because they have WAY MORE connectivity than the CDJ-1000s. Which is why I'm sure that marketing called them CDJ-2000s and not CDJ-1000 MK4 or CDJ-1100, etc.
That being said, the cats out of the bag! lets see what happens and whoever here gets these 1st, DEMO THEM FOR US! cheers, 
I heard Santa still exists.... (November 2009 release date, just in time for X-MAS and other big holiday gift giving? helloooooo) XD~
