Rekordbox playlists and hierarchy moved into VirtualDJ — including Favorite Folders.

The problem

VirtualDJ's database is an XML file (database.xml) with a different playlist model than Rekordbox. Most migration tools either only support the Rekordbox → Serato pair or strip VirtualDJ's Favorite Folders entirely.

How Music Library Doctor does it

  1. 1 Install Music Library Doctor on the same machine that has both Rekordbox and VirtualDJ installed.
  2. 2 Open MLD. It detects both libraries on startup.
  3. 3 Pick the Rekordbox playlists and folders you want in VirtualDJ.
  4. 4 Choose whether to map them to VirtualDJ playlists or Favorite Folders (MLD supports both).
  5. 5 Launch VirtualDJ — the new playlists are waiting.

Supported today

Rekordbox · Serato DJ · VirtualDJ (incl. Favorite Folders) on Windows 10+ and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).

Why native integration matters

Many tools ignore VirtualDJ's Favorite Folders because they sit outside the regular playlist tree. MLD treats them as a first-class target, so you can keep the same organizational structure you had in Rekordbox.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with the VirtualDJ Home (free) edition?

Yes. The database format is the same across Home and Pro.

What about VirtualDJ's video tracks?

MLD is file-format agnostic — if the track is in your Rekordbox library (audio or video), its path transfers.

Do I need both apps running during transfer?

No. Keep both closed during the transfer; MLD reads and writes the library files directly.

Will track ratings and comments carry over?

Playlist membership and file paths transfer reliably. Metadata compatibility depends on the target format's support.
