One-pass migration from VirtualDJ database.xml + Favorite Folders into djay Pro JSON library. Playlists and collections preserved end-to-end, format gotchas handled on both sides, nothing leaves your machine.
Moving from VirtualDJ to djay Pro normally means an XML round-trip: export from VirtualDJ, hope djay Pro parses it correctly, manually rebuild playlists and collections, discover cues didn't translate. VirtualDJ has portable and shared install modes that put database.xml in different locations — tools that hardcode the path miss portable setups entirely. And on the destination side: Writes have to respect djay Pro's iCloud sync — direct edits to local files get overwritten on next sync.

VirtualDJ and djay Pro speak completely different languages: 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) versus 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). XML export-import is the usual bridge — and it's lossy on both ends. MLD treats both formats as first-class, reads VirtualDJ's structure natively, and writes djay Pro's native format directly, so playlists and collections 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 regular playlists plus a separate Favorite Folders (★) tree and writes playlists and collections natively so the structure survives the migration.
Run Fix Missing Tracks for VirtualDJ first. MLD scans your drives, matches moved/renamed files, and repairs links in VirtualDJ before the transfer — so djay Pro receives a clean library.
Yes. VirtualDJ and djay Pro libraries are both copied to timestamped backups before any write. Rollback is always one folder away.
Yes — see the djay Pro to VirtualDJ guide. MLD supports every direction between supported apps.
Yes. MLD tracks VirtualDJ version compatibility and updates with each new release. See the changelog for the version matrix.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
