Can I transfer rekordbox database to computer from DJ USB?
Hey guys,
I have an issue here, I bought a new laptop and sold the old one but one thing I forgot to backup was my rekordbox library. The way I access all my playlists is creating them in iTunes and then accessing them from the iTunes module on the sidebar of rekordbox. I have all my playlists on one USB with all my previous cue points etc. Is there a way to transfer my "Database" and meta data from my USB to my computer and have all my music from the iTunes playlists have my previously stored cue points? Sorry if this is a confusing post. Any help would be great, thanks.

You can import those playlists back into rekordbox if you go to rekordbox -> devices -> playlists -> right click on playlist -> import playlist.
I see what you're saying but that option will import all the music from the USB into rekordbox, I already have all the music on my computer in iTunes. I access all my music in rekordbox through iTunes, I am only missing the database metadata (cue points etc) when selecting my playlists from iTunes. I hope that makes sense.
When rekordbox export tracks to USB device, the tracks exported in the USB device will be associated to the tracks in the Collection (imported from iTunes).
If you didn't backup the rekordbox library on the old computer, tracks in the USB device are no longer associated to the tracks in the Collection on the new computer even though the tracks are imported from iTunes again.
So if you import playlists from the USB device, music file swill be doubly copied to the computer.
Unfortunately, there is no option to associate playlists and cue points to iTunes tracks in the new computer.
