SERATO TO REKORDBOX
1. Importing your crates to MIXO
- Make sure Serato is closed
- IMPORT > SERATO
- Click IMPORT SERATO
- Select the crates to import from your ..\_Serato_\Subcrates folder and click Open
2. Exporting Collections & Playlists from MIXO:
- EXPORT > REKORDBOX
- Below you will need to confirm which playlists should be exported or if the whole library should be exported.
- Click EXPORT
- By default your files are exported to ..\Music\MIXO\Exports\REKORDBOX
3. Import your rekordbox.xml file 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).
To import the rekordbox.xml file you exported from MIXO into Rekordbox, please follow these steps
- 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
We recommend you backup your Serato library first.
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.
