Library source

Vibes for Apple Music.

Your Apple Music DJ library is the local half of your Music app collection: the files you actually own, exported as a Library.xml that Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and Engine DJ can all read. Streaming catalog tracks are licensed rather than owned, so they only load inside a DJ app signed in to your subscription and never leave as files. Vibes reads that XML directly, keeps your playlist folders intact, and hands the result back to your DJ software as a clean, tagged playlist tree.

Vibes DJ library organizer showing custom vibes like Dark, Hypnotic, and Warm grouped into Mood, Energy Feel, and Role categories, each with its track count

Vibes & categories are fully customizable.

From Apple Music and back, in three steps.

Export your library as XML

In the Music app on Mac, choose File > Library > Export Library to write your whole collection to XML. For a single playlist, select it and choose File > Library > Export Playlist, then set the Format menu to XML. iTunes on Windows exports the same file from File > Library > Export Library.

Open it in Vibes

Pick the file in the Import Wizard. Vibes reads what is inside the file rather than trusting the extension, rebuilds your folder hierarchy from Apple's persistent IDs, and skips Apple's own Library, Music, and Downloaded rows so you never end up with a vibe holding your entire collection.

Tag, build, export

Sort at speed in Vibe Sort, let Auto-Tagging propose vibes, design the running order on the Set Designer canvas with Energy Flow, then export playlists to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, or Engine DJ.

Step one

One file, the whole collection.

Playlists come across with their folder structure intact, along with track names, artists, times, any BPM already stored in your library, and your star ratings. Cloud only entries carry no file location, so they are left out of the preview instead of importing as dead rows, and the Music app itself is never touched.

What Vibes adds on top of Apple Music.

Apple Music stays your performance software. Vibes covers the preparation layer.

	Apple Music alone	With Vibes
Library organization
Mood and energy tagging	Genre, Grouping, and Comments fields, filtered with Smart Playlists	Unlimited vibes in your own categories, with tags read in from Genre, Mood, or Grouping
Speed of sorting	Edit fields track by track under Song > Get Info	Vibe Sort: keyboard-first tagging, plus Auto-Tagging suggestions
Duplicates	File > Library > Show Duplicate Items, matched by name and artist	Duplicate finder with exact, metadata, and audio-similarity layers
Set preparation
Key and BPM	Whatever the files already carry, typed in by hand under Song > Get Info	Analyzed BPM and key, shown in Camelot, musical, or Open Key
Next-track suggestions	Autoplay picks what sounds similar	Find Compatible: harmonic Camelot neighbors inside a BPM window, half and double time aware
Building a running order	A playlist you drag into shape, with AutoMix smoothing playback	Set Designer canvas with Energy Flow sorting: ascending, descending, or arc
Getting it into a DJ app
What the DJ app sees	Each app hooks up its own way: a Setup checkbox in Serato, an XML file path in Rekordbox, an iTunes node in Traktor, a Library toggle in Engine DJ	One export writes a folder tree Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and Engine DJ read natively
Streaming catalog tracks	Play inside apps signed in to Apple Music, never exportable to USB	Not supported: Vibes works on files you own
Track sections and cue points		Auto-detected intro, buildup, drop, breakdown, and outro, exported as cues

What lands in your DJ software.

Export runs one way, outward. Vibes writes your Apple Music sourced library into Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, or Engine DJ as a plain playlist tree, so the structure is waiting for you the next time you open the app.

Auto-detected cue points for intros, buildups, drops, breakdowns, and outros
Optional Camelot key or BPM subfolders inside each vibe playlist

Nothing is written back to Apple Music. The Music app is a source only: Vibes never edits your Library.xml, your playlists, or your Music library, and there is no route back in. Apple Music streaming tracks cannot be imported at all, because a catalog track is a license rather than a file on your disk, and its library entry carries no file location to read.

The preparation layer

DJ library management, finally done right.

Turn your collection into clear categories. Moods, functions, or your own system, so every track feels ready to play.
