APPLE MUSIC TO VIRTUAL DJ 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is a default XML file already listed, you must change it to your recently exported file, as the default file may be outdated.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 VIRTUAL DJ

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘EXPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select Virtual DJ.
  • Set the folder location so the exported file can be found by VirtualDJ. Click ‘Change Location’ and set the path:


Windows Users: select the folder in Users -> [your-user] -> AppData -> Local -> VirtualDJ


MAC Users: 

  • First, ensure the Library folder is visible: Finder -> Right-click -> ‘Show View Options’ -> tick ‘Show Library Folder’).

 

  • Set the path to: Users -> [your-user] -> Library -> Application Support -> VirtualDJ

  • Select whether to export your entire library or choose individual playlists and press the 'START EXPORT' button.

Done! Open your Virtual DJ application.


Additional setting: Enable ‘Save MIXO Tags To Comments’ to overwrite the comments field on each track with tags added in MIXO.
