So not to be mean but, you most likely did something incorrect along the way.

I don't have an iPad to check, but I already confirmed the CDJ Export from VirtualDJ is readable from DJay on my MacBook.
What I didn't get working (or at least it isn't obvious) is DJay's additions showing up in VirtualDJ.
I also saw (through opening the USB stick in Rekordbox, and using a pretty old version - v7.0.8), that VirtualDJ creates both Device Library and Device Library Plus databases, with the same entries, but DJay only makes an entry in the Device Library Plus database, and I'm guessing that VirtualDJ only shows updates if both databases reflect the changes.


I went back and tried to export songs from Virtual DJ to a USB Drive using the CDJ Export option and indeed it does work. So I am able to play tracks on my Mixstream Pro + and on my iPad using djay Pro software. Awesome!

Just FYI, that's to ensure compatibility with older Pioneer gear as well.
This means that an export from VirtualDJ will also work on a CDJ2000NXS2 or on XDJ-RX3 along with the "new" gear like Opus and CDJ3000/3000X
 
Cool 🍺. Just keep in mind...DJay (currently) only writes to the newer library, and VirtualDJ (currently) seems to only show playlists + tracks if both libraries show them.

Conclusion: If you need to make changes to the drive that are visible everywhere , use VirtualDJ or Rekordbox to do it (until Atomix devs "fix/address" that).
 
Point well taken, thanks for your input as it definitely pushed me in the right direction.
