One-pass migration from Traktor collection.nml into encrypted master.db. Nested playlist folders preserved end-to-end, format gotchas handled on both sides, nothing leaves your machine.
Moving from Traktor to Rekordbox normally means an XML round-trip: export from Traktor, hope Rekordbox parses it correctly, manually rebuild nested playlist folders, 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: Writes require atomic transactions, and Rekordbox must be closed or it will overwrite your edits when it next saves.

Rekordbox · Serato DJ · VirtualDJ (incl. Favorite Folders) on Windows 10+ and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).
Traktor and Rekordbox 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 encrypted master.db (Rekordbox stores rich metadata (cues, beatgrids, hot cues, colored playlists) but XML export drops nested folder structure and is lossy on cue points). 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 Rekordbox's native format directly, so nested playlist folders 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 supports Rekordbox's encrypted database key format, so you don't have to downgrade or export anything to read or write playlists.
Run Fix Missing Tracks for Traktor first. MLD scans your drives, matches moved/renamed files, and repairs links in Traktor before the transfer — so Rekordbox receives a clean library.
Yes. Traktor and Rekordbox libraries are both copied to timestamped backups before any write. Rollback is always one folder away.
Yes — see the Rekordbox 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.
