DEX 3 TO SERATO
1. Exporting your playlists from DEX 3
- Open DEX 3 and right-click the playlist you want to export
- Select Export playlist as M3U from the menu
- Choose a destination to export your playlist
Follow these steps for each playlist you want to import into MIXO
2. Importing your DEX 3 playlists to MIXO
- IMPORT > PLAYLISTS
- Click IMPORT PLAYLISTS
- Select the playlists you exported from DEX 3 from the file browser
- Click Open to import the playlists
3. Export your playlists to Serato
- Quit Serato
- To export individual playlists or your entire library from MIXO go to EXPORT > SERATO.
- If you are saving to an external drive change the export folder location
- Click EXPORT SERATO
- Open Serato and your library will match your MIXO export
MIXO also provides an option to update your track's ID3 tags with metadata and cues in Advanced Export Options > Update ID3 Tags. See our guide: Export Track ID3 Tags to Serato. When using this option, make sure you wait for the 'Export ID3 Tags progress' to complete before opening Serato.
MIXO exports directly to serato by saving *crate* files to the *drivename/Serato/Subcrates* folder in the correct Serato format.
Notes
Serato needs your tracks to be stored on the same drive you export your crate to.
M3U Exports do not contain cuepoints or beatgrid data so MIXO is not able to import these from DEX 3 at the moment.
Backups
MIXO will automatically backup your DJ Libraries every time you export.
It's also a good idea to regularly backup your source library and computer.
