Paste a public YouTube Music URL. Track Matcher pages through the whole playlist — 300+ tracks come back complete — and sends a finished crate to Rekordbox, Serato, or VirtualDJ.
Most DJ library tools either skip YouTube Music entirely ("Spotify only") or stop at the first 100 tracks of a large playlist and call it done. If your set prep lives on YouTube Music — playlists shared by friends, editorial collections, or your own saved music — neither option is acceptable. And making you sign in to a Google account just to read a public playlist is friction every DJ has lived through.

MLD's YouTube Music integration uses the public ANDROID_MUSIC client API to follow continuation tokens through the full playlist — that's why a 300-song playlist comes back as 300 tracks instead of 100. No account, no OAuth dance, no "sign in to Google to import a public playlist" friction. Same Track Matcher engine handles Spotify imports and text/M3U imports, so the matching logic and the UI are identical regardless of source. Missing tracks can be filled in via Smart Source Upgrade (Pro), or you can leave them as placeholders for manual follow-up.
Two reasons. First, privacy — Google doesn't need to know which playlists you're importing into your DJ library. Second, speed — every signed-in OAuth flow adds friction to your prep, and DJ prep is already friction-heavy.
MLD reads public YouTube Music playlists. For private playlists, you can export the playlist as text from YouTube Music and paste it into Track Matcher's Text Import — same matching engine, no sign-in.
Yes. MLD follows continuation tokens until the playlist ends, so 50-track playlists and 5,000-track playlists both come back complete. The pagination was hardened in v3.0.7 specifically to handle long playlists reliably.
Yes. Track Matcher accepts both URLs and search queries. You can paste "YYY genre Spotify-curated 2024" and MLD will fetch the search results and match them. Useful for fast set prep based on a theme rather than a saved playlist.
Cratehackers focuses on Spotify and uses cloud sync. MLD handles both Spotify and YouTube Music, runs entirely locally (no login, no cloud), and is a one-time $49 purchase instead of $15–30/month. For DJs who use YouTube Music as their prep platform, MLD is the only tool that handles the full pagination without an account.
They appear as 'missing' in the Track Matcher view. You can leave them as placeholders, search for them manually, or use Smart Source Upgrade (Pro) to fetch a clean version via the standard open-source tooling MLD coordinates on your machine. (You are responsible for ensuring you have rights to obtain replacement content. See Terms §4.)
Free tier covers detection and viewing forever. Pro is $49 lifetime — paid once, no subscription.
