Convert your library to Rekordbox

What does Lexicon DJ do?

If you've built up a collection of music tracks in one DJ software but want to switch to another, Lexicon DJ can help you do that without losing all your carefully crafted cue points, loops, and playlists. It acts like a translator between different DJ software languages.

So, for example, if you've been using Serato but want to move to Rekordbox, Lexicon DJ can take your Serato library, with all its specific data, and convert it into a format that Rekordbox can understand, saving you the headache of having to recreate your setup from scratch.

What gets converted to Rekordbox?

Lexicon DJ preserves as much data as possible when converting to Rekordbox. Here's what transfers over:

  • Playlists & folder structure — your entire playlist hierarchy is kept intact.
  • Cue points & loops — all hot cues, memory cues, and loops are converted with their colors and labels.
  • Beatgrids — your beatgrid adjustments carry over so your tracks stay on-beat.
  • Track metadata — titles, artists, genres, BPM, key, comments, ratings, and custom tags.
  • Album artwork — embedded artwork is preserved.

Conversion limitations for Rekordbox

  • Rekordbox does not store the last played date, so this field will not be available after conversion.
  • There are a few additional incompatibilities when using Rekordbox XML mode. See the Rekordbox XML sync manual page for details.
