Rekordbox 6.8.5 XML IDs references
I'm working with an exported Rekordbox XML file and trying to understand how tracks under the PLAYLISTS element are linked to the tracks under the COLLECTION element. In my XML, each playlist is structured as a <NODE> with a KeyType attribute and a list of <TRACK> entries like this:
<NODE Name="PlaylistName" Type="1" KeyType="0" Entries="8">
<TRACK Key="68945392"/>
...
</NODE>I figured each <TRACK Key="..."/> inside a playlist node would reference a corresponding <TRACK TrackID="..."/> entry in the <COLLECTION>. However, in my case, none of the Key values in the playlists appear to match any TrackID in the collection section — they seem to be disconnected. I came across the official Rekordbox XML format specification, which says that KeyType can be set to 1 to reference tracks by file Location or 1 for an ID.
If that’s the case, how can I set Rekordbox to export XMLs referencing tracks by their file paths? What are the Key attributes of Track elements actually referencing when KeyType="0", is it some internally hashed value? Basically, how can I determine which tracks are in which playlists using only the XML?
Thanks
