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 iTunes playlists into MIXO

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘IMPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select iTunes.
  • If MIXO doesn’t find the XML file automatically, look for the file selection area and click the 'Change File' button.

  • Browse to the location where you saved the XML file (from “Export from iTunes” Part) and select it.
  • 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 from MIXO to MIXXX

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

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