Rekordbox playlists and hierarchy moved into VirtualDJ — including Favorite Folders (★) and M3U export.
VirtualDJ's database is an XML file with a different playlist model than Rekordbox, and its Favorite Folders (the ★ tree) sit outside the regular playlist tree. Most migration tools either only support the Rekordbox → Serato pair or strip Favorite Folders entirely. On top of that, VirtualDJ has portable and shared install modes that put the database in different locations, which tools routinely miss.
Supported today
Rekordbox · Serato DJ · VirtualDJ (incl. Favorite Folders) on Windows 10+ and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).
Many tools ignore VirtualDJ's Favorite Folders because they don't fit the standard playlist tree. MLD treats them as a first-class destination so you can keep the same organizational structure you had in Rekordbox. Portable/shared VirtualDJ installs are detected automatically, so you don't have to hunt for the right `database.xml`.
Yes. The database and Favorite Folders format is the same across Home and Pro editions.
Yes. MLD is file-format agnostic — if the track is in your Rekordbox library (audio or video), its path transfers.
MLD detects VirtualDJ's install mode (portable or shared) automatically and writes to the correct database location.
Playlist membership and file paths transfer reliably. VirtualDJ's metadata model differs from Rekordbox — MLD maps what it can and documents what it cannot.
Yes. For Rekordbox → VirtualDJ we only read master.db. MLD also keeps a timestamped backup before any write to any target.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
