DEX 4 TO REKORDBOX VIA XML V2

1. Export playlists from DEX

  • Open your DEX application.
  • In the library section, right-click on the playlist you wish to export.
  • Select ‘EXPORT PLAYLIST AS M3U’.


  • Name playlist and choose a memorable folder on your computer to save the M3U file.

DEX exports playlists individually. Repeat these steps for every playlist you want to transfer.


2. Import DEX playlists into MIXO

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘IMPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select DEX.
  • Click the 'SELECT M3U TO IMPORT' button.


  • Browse to the folder where you saved your M3U playlist file(s) (from the "Export DEX" part) and select the playlists you wish to import.

MIXO will process the M3U files, import your tracks and playlists, and analyze your tracks (if analysis is enabled).


Note: Be aware, MIXO does not import beat grids & cue points from DEX.

Additional setting: 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.


3. Export playlists to REKORDBOX via XML

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘EXPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select REKORDBOX XML.
  • Select whether to export your entire library or choose individual playlists and press the 'START EXPORT' button.


4. Import XML into Rekordbox

  • Open your Rekordbox application.
  • In the left-hand column, press DISPLAY REKORDBOX XML
  • If the XML is not showing, navigate to Settings -> Advanced 
    • Change the Rekordbox XML Imported library path to: MUSIC -> MIXO -> EXPORTS -> REKORDBOX and select rekordbox.xml.


  • Restart Rekordbox and refresh the XML - press DISPLAY REKORDBOX XML.

Done! Selected playlists, tracks and metadata from MIXO will be available and ready to use in your Rekordbox library.


Important note: If your Rekordbox collection has existing XML imports, ensure those tracks are dragged into your main Rekordbox library before importing, as the new XML from MIXO will overwrite the existing XML playlists.


Additional settings:

  • Enable ‘Save MIXO Tags To Comments’ to overwrite the comments field on each track with tags added in MIXO.
  • You can enable ‘Copy HotCues To Memory Cues’ to convert Hot Cues added in MIXO into Memory Cues for transfer to Rekordbox.
