Rekordbox import and export problems

Fix a failed import, playlists you can't select, unmatched tracks and sets that don't reach Rekordbox.

The import fails

Read the message in the import window.

  • This file isn't a Rekordbox collection XML or This file isn't a Rekordbox library export: export it again in Rekordbox with File → Export Collection in xml format, and choose that file.

  • This file could not be read: export the collection again and try once more.

  • Your library could not finish uploading, or a message that matching or creating sets stopped: choose Retry import. It keeps your playlist selection and doesn't create sets twice.

If you closed the window, open Import from Rekordbox again in the same browser, choose the same XML and the same name in This computer, then choose Resume saved import. To change the selection, start a new import instead.

Keep the window open until the import finishes.

The import button is missing

Import from Rekordbox and Add track are for admins and members. If you have the Production role, ask an admin for another role. See Invite people and set roles.

A playlist cannot be selected

Empty playlists, and playlists that list tracks missing from the XML, are greyed out. A playlist with missing tracks shows how many. Export the collection again from Rekordbox and import the new file.

If the XML has no playlists at all, choose Whole library, or export a collection that includes your playlists.

Sets are too large to create

A set holds up to 2,000 tracks. If a selected playlist is bigger, SetPlan says so and the import button stays off. Turn off Create a set for each selected playlist to import the tracks without sets, or choose smaller playlists.

Tracks did not match the library

SetPlan matches by ISRC, or by the same title and mix, at least one shared artist and lengths within 3 seconds. A track written differently in Rekordbox, or without a length, stays unmatched.

  • To use such a track, choose Add or Add all in the import summary. It becomes a new library track.

  • If the library already has the track, correct the artist, title or mix in Rekordbox to match, export again and import.

A track is missing from the playlist file

The download window lists tracks it can't find, and the playlist skips them.

  1. Check that you're on the computer you last imported from. The file uses the file locations from your most recent import.

  2. Check that the track is in your Rekordbox and that its file is where Rekordbox expects it.

  3. Export the collection again and import it on this computer.

  4. Download the file again.

If the window says Import your Rekordbox library first, you haven't imported yet. Choose Import library.

The set does not show up in Rekordbox

  1. Check that Rekordbox reads setplan.xml as its Imported Library, as in Set up Rekordbox once.

  2. If your browser downloaded a new copy, move it over the old file. Check that its name is exactly setplan.xml, not setplan (1).xml.

  3. Refresh rekordbox xml in Rekordbox, then open Playlists → SetPlan.

Each file holds only the last set you saved. To bring in another set, save it and refresh again.

Your cues are not on a track page

Your cues shows only your own Rekordbox cues, once the track is in your import. If it says your last import is from before SetPlan read cues, import your collection again.
