Music Library Doctor
Playlist migration

VirtualDJ → Rekordbox

Including Favorite Folders — preserved as Rekordbox playlist folders.

The problem

Moving to Rekordbox from VirtualDJ usually means a manual rebuild: Rekordbox's XML importer doesn't understand VirtualDJ's format at all. Favorite Folders — which many VirtualDJ users rely on heavily — have no direct Rekordbox equivalent and get lost.

How Music Library Doctor does it

  1. 1 Install Music Library Doctor on the computer holding your VirtualDJ library.
  2. 2 Open MLD. It scans your VirtualDJ database and Favorite Folders automatically.
  3. 3 Select the playlists and Favorite Folders you want to bring over.
  4. 4 Pick Rekordbox as the destination. MLD writes them directly into master.db.
  5. 5 Open Rekordbox — everything is there, hierarchy intact.

Supported today

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

Why native integration matters

Favorite Folders in VirtualDJ are essentially filesystem-based crates. Rekordbox has playlist folders that can mirror that structure. MLD bridges the two so your decade of VirtualDJ organization doesn't vanish.

Frequently asked questions

Will my VirtualDJ cue points transfer to Rekordbox?

Playlist contents and paths transfer reliably. Cue point fidelity depends on each app's format — we preserve what the target supports.

What if I have both VirtualDJ Home and Pro libraries?

MLD reads whichever VirtualDJ database.xml is present on your system.

Is it safe to run on my only library?

MLD never modifies your VirtualDJ files; it only reads them. Rekordbox is additive — new playlists appear next to your existing ones.

How long does a large library take?

A 50,000-track library with hundreds of playlists typically transfers in under a minute. MLD is native code, not a browser tool.
