VIDEO: DEX to MIXO

Here's how to move your entire DJ library from dex to including all your playlists album artwork track metadata and all of your tracks First, we're going to import our library from DEX into MIXO. You can see here we've got our entire library index with all our playlists, tracks and metadata. To export our library from DEX, we right click on a playlist and click on Export Playlist as M3U. Then we select the folder on our computer to save the files in and you want to remember where this folder is as we'll need it in the next step. Then we head over to MIXO, go to the import page and choose DEX from the list of DJ software. At the top of the import page you can choose to turn off Track Analysis if you like, although we recommend keeping it on. Track Analysis will go through all your tracks and get the album artwork saved in each track and it will also build a waveform for every track and analyse the beat grid. If you turn Track Analysis off then your import will be a lot faster, but you won't have artwork, waveforms or beat grids in MIXO. But if you're just exporting directly to another DJ software then you might not need that data. Next we want to click on select M3U to import, where we'll find the folder that we saved our DEX playlists to and then we can choose which playlist we'd like to import. MIXO will save the tracks using the input available from the DEX M3U playlist files and then go through and analyse each track to import all the custom metadata saved by DEX in the track tags, plus get the artwork and build the waveforms. This import may take a bit of time depending on how many playlists we choose and how big the library is, so you might want to get a cup of tea or even leave your import overnight. Once the import is complete, we can head over to the library in MIXO and you'll see all our playlists, tracks, and album artwork have been imported from DEX. We can now use MIXO as our main DJ library. MIXO lets us edit our playlists, import music from other DJ software, sync our entire DJ library to the cloud, listen to our music on all our devices, and export our library to other DJ software. Now we've moved our library, let's have a look at what else we can do with MIXO. The first thing you'll definitely want to do is connect your Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive so that MIXO can sync your DJ library across all your devices. Once you're connected, MIXO will upload all your tracks and playlists to your own cloud storage, so they're backed up in your own secure and private cloud. You can then download MIXO on your phone, tablet or any laptop or desktop and MIXO will automatically sync all your playlists and tracks to all your devices, so you can edit, access and export your music from anywhere to any device. You can also use MIXO to export your tracks to USB, ready to play in your favourite hardware. With MIXO, you can export directly to the REKORDBOX, USB Device Library or Device Library Plus to Engine DJ format or as a Virtual DJ library. When exporting to USB, your MIXO library will look just like it was exported from your DJ software, including all your playlists, cue points, beat grids, album artwork, metadata, and more. Export to USB is also available on the mobile app so you can export your playlists directly from your phone once your library is in the cloud. You can also play your library with CarPlay or Android Auto in your car so you can enjoy all your purchase music on the go, just like you can with Spotify, Apple Music or your favourite streaming service. MIXO also has a Spotify Track Matcher tool that allows you to put together playlists in Spotify and then have MIXO locate the tracks from your own collection and save it as your own playlist in MIXO. MIXO also comes with lots of library management tools such as Track Analysis, Duplicate Finder, Que and Key converter, Find and Replace scanners, and all the general playlist and track management tools that you'd expect.
