MIGRATE SERATO TO REKORDBOX
Transfer your entire DJ library — every cue point, loop, beat grid, and playlist — in minutes. Completely free.
THE PROBLEM WITH SWITCHING FROM SERATO TO REKORDBOX
Serato stores cue points inside your audio files, while Rekordbox uses a separate database. This fundamental difference means nothing transfers automatically.
- Serato embeds custom data in ID3 tags that Rekordbox can't read
- Rekordbox needs data in its master.db SQLite database
- Cue point positions use different timing formats
- Color mappings between platforms don't match 1:1
THE MANUAL WAY (DON'T DO THIS)
Estimated time: 50+ hours for a 5,000 track library
- 1Export Serato crates manually
- 2Import tracks into Rekordbox one by one
- 3Re-set every cue point by ear
- 4Re-analyze all tracks for beat grids
- 5Rebuild playlist structure manually
- 6Hope your CDJ show at 2am doesn't suffer

HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD
Reading from Serato
Serato's cue data lives inside your actual audio files as custom ID3 tags. MixGoat reads these proprietary markers directly.
Writing to Rekordbox
Rekordbox's master.db is notoriously locked down. MixGoat uses a specialized Python library to safely write to it without corrupting your library.
