There's no other choice than to work around this bug right now. you generated cue points), will not be updated and your new cue points won't show up. Any track that already exist but was changed (e.g. So only tracks that did not yet exist in your collection are imported now. The bug here is that Rekordbox (for some reason) thinks that existing tracks don't need to be updated. And when you check your imported tracks, they weren't updated. The fact that the import takes no time at all regardless of playlist size should be enough indication that something is wrong. Normally Rekordbox will import and overwrite all tracks in the playlist you selected but now, it is done instantly. This occurs when you try to import playlists from the XML tab into your collection. So anyone who is importing XML files into Rekordbox has probably encountered this in the last few months.

Or simply, move your entire collection to another install of Rekordbox on another laptop, a backup laptop perhaps. This enables you to share your prep work on individual tracks with your fellow DJs, as long as you downloaded your music from the same source (ultimately meaning that you both have a copy of the same file). What's this XML nonsense got to do with DJing? And, you're right to think that way, because we are performers, not silicone valley engineers tasked with making the next AI that will ultimately make us all cower under our dining tables as it seeks and destroys all humans - too much?Īs I was saying, you're about to learn a neat little trick that will allow you to import and export beatgrid and cue point information for your tracks into a Rekordbox collection on any machine.
