There are a few steps you will need to follow first to allow Rekord Buddy 2 to read your library, essential for transferring from Rekordbox to other platforms. Unfortunately for Rekordbox DJ users, the application is the only one that won’t share its library with Rekord Buddy 2 natively. Not seeing your Rekorbox library inside Rekord Buddy 2? Or by right-clicking on the XML playlists and pressing import. The Rekordbox XML tab will now show the playlists that you have imported via Rekord Buddy 2, you can now import the tracks into Rekordbox DJ by either dragging the playlists into the main Playlist section above. If you can’t see this, make sure you have the option checked under tree view section of the layout pane in preferences. Open Rekordbox DJ and on the left, open the Rekordbox XML tab. Not saving upon exit will leave all libraries unchanged. If you’re happy with the changes, leave Rekord Buddy and press save. You should then be able to see the crate inside the Rekordbox playlists in Rekord Buddy.

To import a crate from Serato or Traktor into Rekordbox, you simply drag the crate from the Serato tab in Rekord Buddy and drop it on the Rekordbox Playlists tab. Rekord Buddy 2 reads Serato and Traktor libraries natively, with crates and folders showing under the respective tabs with no external exporting needed. Even if the DJ isn’t leaving their existing platform, having a USB or SD card with a Rekordbox collection onboard is useful for use with the club-standard CDJ players. Thanks to Pioneer DJ’s dominance in the hardware market, the switch to Rekordbox DJ is the most common we are asked about. Switching from Serato or Traktor to Rekordbox

Fortunately, this is where Rekord Buddy 2 comes in, a piece of software that will transfer all your performance data between the major software platforms. This can make switching platforms a long and dubious task, especially with large music libraries. Tracks analyzed with Serato, won’t show their beat grid, hot cues and saved loops when loaded into Traktor for example. Unfortunately, each software platform deals with performance data differently. However, in the age of digital DJ’ing, you’re choice of decks is often limited by the software they are compatible with.


We reviewed the original Rekord Buddy app over two years ago, and found it to be a useful tool for those wanting to migrate from Traktor to Rekordbox, with Rekordbox being just a music library organiser at the time. There’s no actual release date for the final version at the time of this writing.
