MIXXX TO SERATO V2

1. Export playlists from MIXXX

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


  • Choose a memorable folder on your computer to save the M3U playlist file(s).

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


2. Import MIXXX playlists into MIXO

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


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

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


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

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 SERATO

  • In MIXO, navigate to the ‘EXPORT’ tab.
  • On the left sidebar, select SERATO.
  • MIXO should automatically locate the directory Serato creates. If it has been changed, use the ‘Change Location’ feature before exporting.
  • Select whether to export your entire library or choose individual playlists and press the 'START EXPORT' button.


Done! Open your SERATO application.



Additional settings:

  • Enable ‘Save MIXO Tags To Comments’ to overwrite the comments field on each track with tags added in MIXO.
  • ‘Update Track Tags’ setting must be enabled so on export, MIXO has permission to update the track data to work within Serato.
  • You can enable ‘Update Changed Tags Only’ to only rewrite tags on tracks you have edited within MIXO. Disabling this setting will cause MIXO to rewrite tags for all tracks.
  • You can enable the ‘Overwrite existing Serato beatgrids’ setting. Keeping it off will keep the beat grid data as is, however if you enable this setting, MIXO will overwrite existing Serato beat grids on export.
