VIDEO: DJAY Pro to MIXXX

Here's how to move your entire DJ library from DJAY Pro to MIXXX with all of your playlists, cue points, beat grids, album artwork, track metadata, and all of your tracks. First, we're going to import our library from DJAY Pro into MIXO. You can see here we've got our entire library in DJAY Pro with all our playlists, tracks, and metadata. So if we head over to MIXO, we go to the import page and choose DJAY Pro from the list of DJ software. MIXO will read the entire library from DJAY Pro and then show us a list of all our playlists. MIXO should automatically find our DJAY Pro library. However, if you've moved your library or it's on an external hard drive, you might need to select the database file manually using the Change File option 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 your library directly to another DJ software, then you might not need that data. If you'd like to start with a fresh MIXO library, enable Mirror Mode. Mirror Mode will completely replace your MIXO library with the library you're importing, so all your playlists and tracks will match your DJAY Pro library exactly. If you don't have Mirror Mode on, then MIXO will merge your import with your existing MIXO library to speed up the import. Mirror Mode will analyse any new tracks in the import and use the previously analysed info for tracks that were already in your library. If you want to, you can reanalyze tracks for your whole library or for certain playlists after the import is complete. Once you've chosen your settings and your database file, then you can choose to import either your entire library or choose individual playlists. When everything's set, hit the Start import button and MIXO is going to begin importing our library. MIXO will save the tracks using info available from the DJAY Pro database, which includes all the custom metadata, loops, queues and beat grids. MIXO will then analyse the tracks for artwork and build the wave forms. This import is going to take a bit of time depending on how many playlists you choose and how big your 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 of our playlists, tracks, cue points, loops, and album artwork have been imported from DJAY Pro. 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 all our music on all our devices, and export our library to other DJ software. Now we've imported our library into MIXO. Let's transfer everything over to Mixxx. Before we do anything in MIXO, let's have a look at Mixxx. And you can see there's nothing showing in the library. So it's ready for us to import everything from MIXO. So we load up MIXO and from the menu at the top we click on the Export tab which gives us a list of all the DJ software we can export to. Select Mixxx from this list and from here we can choose to export the entire MIXO library or select individual playlist which we'd like to export. Once we're ready and we've chosen the playlist, to move to Mixxx, simply click Start Export. Once the export is finished, MIXO will confirm the export is complete and from here we can head over to Mixxx. For each playlist, from the left hand column, select Playlist, then right click on the playlist and select Import Playlist. Here you want to select the folder Music, MIXO Exports and then Mixxx and select each playlist individually to open it and import it. We'll need to repeat these steps for each playlist. Once you've done that, you can see the playlists have been imported and are ready to use within Mixxx. Now we can drag any track to the deck. Play it and off we go. 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.
