MIGRATE VIRTUALDJ TO SERATO
Transfer your entire DJ library — every cue point, loop, beat grid, and playlist — in minutes. Completely free.
THE PROBLEM WITH SWITCHING FROM VIRTUALDJ TO SERATO
VirtualDJ and Serato store data in completely different ways. VirtualDJ uses external XML; Serato writes inside your audio files. Neither reads the other.
- VirtualDJ stores cues in its XML database
- Serato needs cue data written into audio file ID3 tags
- No official migration path exists
- Position formats and cue type mappings differ
THE MANUAL WAY (DON'T DO THIS)
Estimated time: 45+ hours for a 5,000 track library
- 1Load all tracks into Serato
- 2Let Serato re-analyze everything
- 3Set every cue point manually by ear
- 4Rebuild all playlists from scratch
- 5Re-configure colors and labels
- 6Lose a weekend in the process

HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD
Reading from VirtualDJ
VirtualDJ's POI markers are flexible but non-standard. MixGoat converts them to Serato's specific marker format.
Writing to Serato
Serato cue data must be written into the audio file itself. MixGoat does this without touching the audio stream.
WHY DJS SWITCH FROM VIRTUALDJ TO SERATO
- Club or venue requires Serato
- Moving to Rane hardware
- Serato's streaming integration (Beatport LINK)
- Industry standard for certain genres
