Problem: "Existing Database not found"

Jack started this chat 2 months ago

I have been trying to move my tracks and track data from serato DJ to rekordbox.
Importing tracks from serato was no issue. but exporting to rekordbox is not working. I keep trying to use the export button, but I keep getting a notice saying "Existing database not found."
I think it has something to do with the file location not being correct. What should the file I aim to put this in look like, what pre existing files should be there already so I know. When I look at my location it says
applications/rekordbox 7/master.db

can anybody help?

The default path is correct so not sure how it’s been changed.

It’s usually /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox/master.db.

The Library folder is probably hidden so you will need to enable "Show hidden files" or hold Option while clicking the "Go" menu in Finder.

Once you’ve selected the correct path, you’ll be able to export.

Yeah I think I might have changed the default one for some reason. Is there any way to reset it to the default way?

If you click Change File, then select your mac Username folder in the drop-down at the top, then do Cmd + Shift + . (period) to show hidden files, then double click "Library", then "Pioneer" then "rekordbox" then "master.db".

I'm going to add a way to reset to default somehow!

MIXO v2.11 is now live with a button to revert the import path to the default.Thanks for the idea!
