Hi,
Android does not support officially USB OTG.
They did make an official announce for Android 4.0 if I remember well, but it was such a mess (issue with USB Drive, manufacturers OS, etc...) that they reverted it.
However, you can open a USB Drive on Nexus 5. Using a file explorer is ok, but unfortunately, all tracks you have on this one will not be scanned and added to your media library. You can check: you won't be able to play them using google Play Music.
Why am I telling all of these things? Because Cross DJ for android heavily depends on this media library, to get useful information (such as Artist, album, etc..), and to link a track with our own information (Loops, hot cues, analysis). Therefore, if a track is not on the media library, we prevent them to be played within our app.
I know it's not a good solution; we are thinking about using a temporary identifier to keep information such as hot cues and analysis on tracks not scanned by Android.
But it will not be implemented for Cross DJ 1.4 as it will take time.
Cheers
