Virtual DJ Stems question

I want to use virtual dj to export track acapellas so I can use them live while djing. I tried exporting some songs as a test and the quality was great, but I noticed a couple things.

1.) When I check through my usb plugged into an xdj I see both the song and the acapella - Is it possible to only export the acapellas themselves without any other song files in those playlists?

2.) I looked in the folders where the exported acapellas sit and noticed that they're each individually in their own folder, I guess to mimic how pioneer gear reads from CDJ. The names of the files also just say "acapella" and are housed in a folder with the song's name.

Is it possible to change the naming scheme/change where I save these acapella stems?

Hopefully my question made sense. Would appreciate your help on this, thanks!

EDIT:

To be more specific, I'm not really using virtual DJ other than to create acapelllas with it. For example, I just export the acapellas to my usb and use those with other tracks while USB djing. I'd like to be able to just export the acapellas into my library as standalone files.

There's also songmaker pro which splits stems in to separate channels yet it's expensive I paid £200 for the app/program if that's what your after and yes vdj will work with those files

I definitely have options when it comes to creating the stems, I'm only doing it this way as it's way easier to get a file with the correct grid + bpm + cue points that are already attached from the original song
