One-pass migration from Traktor collection.nml into Mixxx mixxxdb. Crates and folder-based browsing preserved end-to-end, format gotchas handled on both sides, nothing leaves your machine.
Moving from Traktor to Mixxx normally means an XML round-trip: export from Traktor, hope Mixxx parses it correctly, manually rebuild crates and folder-based browsing, discover cues didn't translate. Traktor's NML schema mixes playlist data, history, and remix sets — parsers that don't understand the full schema lose data on round-trip. And on the destination side: Mixxx supports its own crate format that doesn't map 1:1 with playlists — writers have to choose which model is the target.

Traktor and Mixxx speak completely different languages: Traktor collection.nml (Traktor stores stripe/waveform data per track in a separate analysis folder — moving tracks without the analysis files loses visual previews) versus Mixxx mixxxdb (Mixxx is open source and free, so it's often the destination for DJs leaving paid apps — but the migration tooling around it is thin). XML export-import is the usual bridge — and it's lossy on both ends. MLD treats both formats as first-class, reads Traktor's structure natively, and writes Mixxx's native format directly, so crates and folder-based browsing 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 folder nodes inside the collection XML and writes crates and folder-based browsing natively so the structure survives the migration.
Run Fix Missing Tracks for Traktor first. MLD scans your drives, matches moved/renamed files, and repairs links in Traktor before the transfer — so Mixxx receives a clean library.
Yes. Traktor and Mixxx libraries are both copied to timestamped backups before any write. Rollback is always one folder away.
Yes — see the Mixxx to Traktor guide. MLD supports every direction between supported apps.
Traktor stripe/waveform data lives in a separate analysis folder. MLD moves those alongside the playlist transfer so visual previews survive in the target app where the format allows.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
