There are two options when moving playlists from Traktor to Rekordbox. You can either export your Traktor playlist by right-clicking and selecting Export - making sure you select the format as M3U - and then importing it into Rekordbox, or you can create a playlist of the same name in Rekordbox, select all the included tracks in Traktor and drag them across to Rekordbox. Rekordbox will accept tracks dragged directly from Traktor's browser and while metadata like custom comments, mix name and even bpm will remain intact, Rekordbox will still analyse the files as it uses its own waveform view algorithm. As a result, the bpm may change by a few decimal points. Unfortunately, moving tracks from Rekordbox to Traktor isn't as simple. Traktor does not allow direct dragging from Rekordbox's browser and although it's possible to export playlists from Rekordbox as XML files, Traktor doesn't support that format. The solution comes in a Mac-based app called Rekord Buddy. We're going to come back to it a lot throughout this tutorial. Unfortunately, there is no Windows alternative so for the moment, it's not possible to automatically import playlists from Rekordbox to Traktor using a Windows computer. Let's take a look at how Rekord Buddy works… REKORD BUDDY MAC FREE DOWNLOAD WINDOWS Rekord Buddy is a clever third-party OS X application designed to sync Traktor and Rekordbox libraries. The software works in a pretty by importing both Traktor and Rekordbox collection files - NML and XML files respectively - compares the differences and, if you wish, syncs the information between the two file formats.įor example, if you've imported a file into Traktor, added some cue points and a custom beatgrid then imported that same file into Rekordbox, Rekord Buddy would flag up that the metadata stored in the file doesn't match, and would highlight them in red. Then, if you're happy to sync them, pressing the Sync Track or Sync All buttons will combine the data, meaning those cue points and the beatgrid are now accessible in Rekordbox. However, pressing the sync button doesn't overwrite anything just yet, the changes are saved to the XML file we talked about earlier. You've got to re-import that XML file back into Rekordbox before any changes will appear. The process is slightly convoluted in that there's no direct communication between the software. However, it's likely you'll only need to do this once, and commit to one software following the initial sync. Syncing libraries with Rekord Buddy Part 1īefore you open Rekord Buddy the first thing you need to do is export the collection database file from both Rekordbox and Traktor. Open the software and select File and Preferences. This option makes sure that only changes in the tempo of a track are exported.Ĭlick on the Bridge tab and under Export BeatGrid Information select BPM Change Points. Selecting 'No' would mean that Rekordbox doesn't export markers that adjust the tempo and selecting 'All beats' would mean that every marker is exported, resulting in a much bigger database file. Close the window and select File, Export Playlists Information and choose a location for your database file. To export your collection's database file in Traktor, open it and browse to Track Collection or any playlist you want to export. It's worth bearing in mind that even if you export the whole collection as a single file, Rekord Buddy will still read the playlists within it, so you don't have to sync the whole library every time - it's possible to sync individual playlists. Right-click on Track Collection and select Export The Collection. When the dialogue box pops up, give your collection a name, choose a folder to save it to and select NML as the format. Make sure you deselect 'Copy Tracks to Destination' - we're only interested in the database information and not the files themselves. The Rekord Buddy app displays tracks that are out of sync in red.
