MIGRATE SERATO TO TRAKTOR
Transfer your entire DJ library — every cue point, loop, beat grid, and playlist — in minutes. Completely free.
THE PROBLEM WITH SWITCHING FROM SERATO TO TRAKTOR
Serato hides cue data inside your audio files while Traktor uses a separate XML database. Two completely different approaches that don't talk to each other.
- Serato's cue data is embedded in audio file ID3 tags
- Traktor stores everything in a collection.nml XML file
- Position formats, color codes, and loop definitions differ completely
- No official migration path exists between these platforms
THE MANUAL WAY (DON'T DO THIS)
Estimated time: 60+ hours for a 5,000 track library
- 1There is no export function from Serato to Traktor
- 2Manually add all tracks to Traktor's collection
- 3Re-analyze every track for BPM and beat grids
- 4Set every single cue point by ear
- 5Recreate all crates as Traktor playlists
- 6This is genuinely a nightmare

HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD
Reading from Serato
Serato's proprietary ID3 markers use a binary format that most tools can't decode. MixGoat reverse-engineers these tags to extract every cue perfectly.
Writing to Traktor
Traktor's collection.nml requires precise XML formatting. One wrong attribute and the whole collection fails to load.
