MIGRATE REKORDBOX TO TRAKTOR
Transfer your entire DJ library — every cue point, loop, beat grid, and playlist — in minutes. Completely free.
THE PROBLEM WITH SWITCHING FROM REKORDBOX TO TRAKTOR
Rekordbox's locked database and Traktor's XML format speak completely different languages. Without conversion, your entire library prep is wasted.
- Rekordbox's master.db is encrypted/obfuscated and hard to export from
- Traktor expects an NML collection file with specific XML structure
- Timing formats are fundamentally different (frames vs seconds)
- Key notation systems differ between platforms
THE MANUAL WAY (DON'T DO THIS)
Estimated time: 50+ hours for a 5,000 track library
- 1Export Rekordbox library as XML (loses some data)
- 2Manually reformat XML to NML structure
- 3Convert all timing values from frames to seconds
- 4Import into Traktor and verify every track
- 5Re-set cue points that didn't convert correctly
- 6Manually fix key format mismatches

HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD
Reading from Rekordbox
Rekordbox stores BPM as integer × 100 (e.g., 128.00 BPM = 12800). MixGoat handles this conversion automatically.
Writing to Traktor
Traktor's NML format requires specific XML namespaces and attributes. MixGoat generates valid NML that Traktor reads perfectly.

- Better MIDI mapping flexibility
