Importing Serato Crates to Virtural

Derrick shared this question ago

Answered

HI,

I am having trouble copying my crates from Serato to Virtual DJ. I followed the online instructions and the crates are imported, however, the music is not showing in the crates. I have attached a screen shot showing where it is reading/analyzing the tracks and another screen shot to show there are no files in the crates.

Hey Derrick!

Sorry to hear you've run into this!

There could be a couple of reasons for this, but usually with Serato it relates to where the music is located.

When a crate is created and tracks are added to it, if those tracks are on different drives; 'C' and 'D' for example, Serato will actually create crates on both of those drives with the same name - only including the tracks on those drives!

So make sure to check if you are using an external drive or usb, that you are importing the crates from the right drive.

If this still doesn't work, let me know and we can try something else.

Thanks,

Jon

I have the same problem. When I export the database from Serato to Virtual DJ, all the data in the 'Artist' and 'Album' columns is erased, and it doesn't recognize any cues; they are all blank. The Serato database and the Virtual DJ database are on the same hard drive where all the files are stored. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Charlie,

When importing from Serato, did you let MIXO analyse the tracks so that all the metadata and cues are showing in MIXO?

If the metadata and cues are in MIXO, the tracks should get exported to the VDJ database.xml, which you'd need to move into the VDJ system folder as per the guide. Backup your previous XML if required. Same goes for the Mylists folder. And of course make sure VDJ is quit before exporting.

Let me know if you can provide any further info on this.
