[Feature Request] Rekordbox Export #10321

Reported by: gouster4 Date: 2021-02-14T09:14:32Z Status: Confirmed Importance: Wishlist Launchpad Issue: lp1915639 Tags: library

Hi. I thought, can you implement Rekordbox (and others) saving feature? Like library can be manually saved/exported in Rekordbox format. Even better if there will be option to choose default library format which would be used by Mixxx.

Im using linux, so rekordbox itself is out of a game even for preparing library/tracks, and i have sometimes access to Pioneer players, they accept just Recordbox library format.

Thanx.

Exporting to Rekordbox is infeasible until Kaitai Struct which we use to read the Rekordbox USB drive databases supports this: https://doc.kaitai.io/faq.html#writing

Serato is totally different. Please open a different issue for that.

looks like serialisation could work now?

Serialization is currently only available for Java and Python. Also, the problem is not really that we can't write the database, the problem is that we don't know enough about the the format yet that we can be sure to always write a valid database.

I also doubt that the kaitai serialization would suffice for this complex format. If you want to help getting Rekordbox PDB export support into Mixxx, I suggest trying to move this issue forward: https://github.com/Holzhaus/rekordcrate/issues/68
