MIGRATE REKORDBOX TO SERATO
Transfer your entire DJ library — every cue point, loop, beat grid, and playlist — in minutes. Completely free.
THE PROBLEM WITH SWITCHING FROM REKORDBOX TO SERATO
Rekordbox and Serato use completely different database formats. Without a migration tool, you lose every cue point, loop, and beat grid you've spent hours setting.
- Rekordbox stores data in a SQLite database (master.db) with a proprietary schema
- Serato writes metadata directly into MP3/FLAC/WAV file tags using custom ID3 frames
- Hot cue colors, memory cues, and loop points use different coordinate systems
- Beat grid anchors are calculated differently — manual re-gridding takes 30+ seconds per track
THE MANUAL WAY (DON'T DO THIS)
Estimated time: 40+ hours for a 5,000 track library
- 1Export your Rekordbox collection as XML
- 2Use a text editor to manually convert the XML format
- 3Re-import into Serato and hope the cue points land correctly
- 4Manually re-grid every track that doesn't align
- 5Rebuild all your playlists from scratch
- 6Re-set hot cue colors one by one

HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD
Reading from Rekordbox
Rekordbox uses a hidden SQLite database that can't be edited by most tools. MixGoat uses pyrekordbox to safely read every field.
Writing to Serato
Serato stores cue data inside the audio file's metadata tags. MixGoat writes Serato-compatible markers directly into your files.
