APPLE MUSIC TO TRAKTOR V2

1. Export playlists from Apple Music

  • Open your Music App
  • In the top menu bar, navigate to File -> Library -> Export Library...


A window will open asking you to save the file. Choose a memorable location for the file. The file will be saved as an XML file (e.g., Library.xml).

  • Click Save to create the exported file.

If you only want to export a single playlist, select the playlist first, then navigate to File -> Library -> Export Playlist... and ensure the file format is set to XML.


2. Import Apple Music playlists into MIXO

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘IMPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select Apple Music.
  • Look for the file selection area and click the 'Change File' button.


  • Browse to the location where you saved the XML file (from the “Export Apple Music” part) and select it.
  • If there is a default XML file already listed, you must change it to your recently exported file, as the default file may be outdated.
  • Press the 'START IMPORT' button.


MIXO will analyze the XML file, automatically update any existing tracks and playlists, and import anything that is new to your library.


Additional settings: 

  • You can optionally turn off 'Track Analysis' at the top of the Import page. Keeping it enabled is recommended, as it gets album artwork, builds waveforms, and analyzes beatgrids for all tracks during the import.
  • If you enable 'Mirror Mode', your entire MIXO library will be completely replaced by the imported library. If disabled, MIXO will merge the new import with your existing library.

3. Export playlists to TRAKTOR

  • In MIXO, navigate to the Export tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select TRAKTOR.
  • MIXO should automatically locate the TRAKTOR database. If it has been changed, use the ‘Change Location’ feature before exporting.
  • Select whether to export your entire library or choose individual playlists and press the 'START EXPORT' button.


4. Import playlists to TRAKTOR 

  • Open your TRAKTOR application.
  • Right-click on TRACK COLLECTION and select IMPORT ANOTHER COLLECTION.


  • Browse to the folder MUSIC -> MIXO -> EXPORT -> TRAKTOR and select the traktor.nml file.
  • In the pop-up window, select FILE and wait for the library to export.
  • Restart Traktor.

Done! Playlists, tracks and metadata from MIXO will be available and ready to use in your TRAKTOR library.


Additional settings:

  • Enable ‘Save MIXO Tags To Comments’ to overwrite the comments field on each track with tags added in MIXO.
  • ‘Analysis Lock’ is on by default to prevent Traktor from automatically analyzing tracks after export. If you prefer Traktor to re-analyze your entire export, you can turn this setting off.
