ITUNES TO REKORDBOX VIA XML V2

1. Export playlists from iTunes

  • Open your iTunes 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 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 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.
