One-click playlist transfer from Rekordbox master.db to Serato crates — no XML export/import chain.
Moving playlists from Rekordbox to Serato has historically meant: export Rekordbox XML → hope Serato parses it correctly → manually rebuild crate hierarchy → discover cue points and hot cues didn't translate. Most DJs give up halfway and end up rebuilding crates by hand.
Supported today
Rekordbox · Serato DJ · VirtualDJ (incl. Favorite Folders) on Windows 10+ and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).
Rekordbox stores playlists in a SQLite database (master.db) with rich metadata — beatgrids, cue points, custom tags. XML export throws most of that away. MLD reads master.db directly and writes Serato's native format, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Yes. Music Library Doctor reads both databases locally, so both apps (or at least their library files) must be accessible on the same computer.
Track file paths, playlist structure, and folder hierarchy transfer perfectly. Cue point preservation depends on each DJ app's format — we transfer what each target format supports.
Yes — see our Serato to Rekordbox guide. MLD supports every direction between Rekordbox, Serato, and VirtualDJ.
Run MLD's missing-track repair first. It re-links broken paths automatically before you transfer, so Serato receives a clean library.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
