MIXO TO REKORDBOX
Rekordbox XML Bug
When importing an XML into Rekordbox, there is a bug that forces users to import tracks separately in order to see changes to existing tracks. This means it's not as simple as just importing your playlists.
Here's the recommended approach:
Step 1 - Export your XML from MIXO and load it in Rekordbox, following the guide below.
Step 2 - Right-click your playlist in the XML section and choose "Import to Collection".
Step 3 - Select all the tracks in the playlist (also in the XML section) and right-click "Import to Collection".
This is the only way to load changes to existing tracks in Rekordbox, until they release a fix. This bug exists in both Rekordbox 5 and 6 ( v5.6.0 and above ).
1. Exporting Collections & Playlists from MIXO:
- EXPORT > REKORDBOX
- Click EXPORT
- A popup will show to confirm which playlists should be exported or if the whole library should be exported.
- By default your files are exported to ..\Music\MIXO\Exports\REKORDBOX
2. Import your rekordbox.xml file to Rekordbox
- Open Rekordbox and go to File > Preferences
- Under the Database tab in the rekordbox xml box, change the Imported Library path to be that of the Rekordbox.xml file MIXO exported in the last step
- In the tree view, click the refresh icon next to rekordbox xml
Notes
You may need to restart Rekordbox for the XML to show in the sidebar
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.
