One-pass migration from djay Pro JSON library into VirtualDJ database.xml + Favorite Folders. Regular playlists plus a separate Favorite Folders (★) tree preserved end-to-end, format gotchas handled on both sides, nothing leaves your machine.
Moving from djay Pro to VirtualDJ normally means an XML round-trip: export from djay Pro, hope VirtualDJ parses it correctly, manually rebuild regular playlists plus a separate Favorite Folders (★) tree, discover cues didn't translate. djay Pro syncs library data through iCloud on Mac, which means the canonical library may live in a hidden iCloud Drive folder rather than the local app support folder. And on the destination side: Paths live in three stores (main DB, M3U exports, Favorite Folders). Fix one without the other two and the library stays half-broken.

djay Pro and VirtualDJ speak completely different languages: djay Pro JSON library (djay Pro integrates tightly with Apple Music and Spotify streams alongside local files — tracks that came from a stream have no portable file path) versus VirtualDJ database.xml + Favorite Folders (Favorite Folders (the ★ tree) are filesystem-rooted shortcuts that don't fit the standard playlist model — most migration tools strip them entirely). XML export-import is the usual bridge — and it's lossy on both ends. MLD treats both formats as first-class, reads djay Pro's structure natively, and writes VirtualDJ's native format directly, so regular playlists plus a separate Favorite Folders (★) tree survives and the target app doesn't re-import anything. A timestamped backup of each app's library is taken before any write.
Yes. MLD reads both libraries locally, so both apps (or at least their library files) must be accessible on the same computer. Nothing uploads anywhere — all scanning is local.
Yes. MLD reads playlists and collections and writes regular playlists plus a separate Favorite Folders (★) tree natively so the structure survives the migration.
Run Fix Missing Tracks for djay Pro first. MLD scans your drives, matches moved/renamed files, and repairs links in djay Pro before the transfer — so VirtualDJ receives a clean library.
Yes. djay Pro and VirtualDJ libraries are both copied to timestamped backups before any write. Rollback is always one folder away.
Yes — see the VirtualDJ to djay Pro guide. MLD supports every direction between supported apps.
Yes. VirtualDJ's Favorite Folders (★) are a first-class destination — MLD can write nested folders into the ★ tree if you choose that target during transfer.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
