Move from Rekordbox to Traktor.
Moving to Traktor brings its deep effects and remix decks, favored by electronic DJs. Here is exactly what carries across, what gets lost, and how to bring your whole library over without starting from scratch.

Bring your collection across without losing your work.
Moving from Rekordbox to Traktor means a rebuild: Traktor's eight hotcue slots are shared with loops and it has no memory cues, and Vibes imports your Rekordbox library and exports playlists, cue points and ratings into Traktor.
Switching from Rekordbox to Traktor, or running both, means moving your collection without losing the cues, grids, and tags you have built up. Traktor has no Rekordbox importer, and its eight-hotcue limit can truncate cues from Rekordbox.
What transfers from Rekordbox to Traktor.
| Capability | Carries | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Audio files | Your tracks move with the library and the files are never modified. | |
| Playlists & crates | Folders and playlists are rebuilt in Traktor. | |
| Key & BPM | Analyzed values carry across, or are re-analyzed cleanly and accurately. | |
| Hot cues | Cues carry, but Traktor's eight-hotcue limit can truncate extras and cue colors are lost. | |
| Beatgrids | Beatgrids carry so your tracks stay locked in time. | |
| Star ratings | Star ratings carry into Traktor. | |
| Comments & tags | Comments carry into the Comment fields Traktor uses for tagging. |
Using a metadata-aware library tool. A manual drag-and-drop rebuild loses everything except the audio files. Traktor has no Rekordbox importer, and its eight-hotcue limit can truncate cues from Rekordbox.
Moving from Rekordbox to Traktor, step by step.
Traktor's documented ways in are drag and drop, Import Music Folders on the Track Collection, and the iTunes node. Nothing reads a Rekordbox library, and Native Instruments itself points at third-party converters for moves like this.
Get the audio files in
Add your music folders to Traktor so the tracks themselves are in the collection, then let it analyze them.
Rebuild or convert playlists
Traktor has no importer for Rekordbox libraries, so playlists are rebuilt by hand or translated by a library tool.
Carry the cues within the limits
Traktor holds eight hotcue slots per track, and loops live in the same pool. Rekordbox's eight hot cues map onto those slots one to one, but memory cues have no Traktor slot, so decide which memory cues you can live without before converting.
Verify before a gig
Spot-check a sample of tracks to confirm cues, grids, and keys landed correctly before you rely on the library.
Traktor has no memory cue concept and its comment fields do the tagging work, so My Tags land in comments at best. Loops from Rekordbox compete with cues for the same eight slots on arrival.
The cleaner path
One library, every app.
Vibes imports your Rekordbox library and exports playlists, tags, ratings, and cue points straight into Traktor, so the move does not mean starting over. Keep one organized library and send it wherever you play.

Your playlists, tags, ratings, and cue points travel to the gear you play on, so nothing you do in Vibes is locked away.
