Library Management

Traktor export

Export your Ora DJ library, or a single playlist, as a Traktor file that Traktor reads with your tracks, cues, and playlists intact.

Ora DJ writes a Traktor file (.nml) that Traktor reads. You can export your whole library, with your playlists and folders intact, or a single playlist on its own.

Export your whole library

Open Settings, then Library, then Export Library, and choose Export as Traktor NML. The file saves through the system save dialog, with a default name of ora-dj-traktor.nml.

The same menu also exports Rekordbox XML.

Export one playlist

Open the playlist and press Export Playlist in the toolbar, then choose the Traktor NML format. You get the same track detail as the full export, but only that playlist's tracks, in your order. Ora DJ shows you the import steps for a playlist, which differ from a collection's.

See Export playlists for the other formats that dialog offers.

A playlist exported on its own lands at the top level of Traktor's Playlists, even if it sat inside a folder in Ora DJ. Export the whole library if you want your folder structure mirrored.

What gets exported

Per track: the title, artist, album, and genre, the BPM and beatgrid, the key, hot cues (up to eight), loops, memory points, the rating, play count, and comments. Your playlist folder structure is preserved.

A dynamic playlist is exported as a fixed list of the tracks it holds at the moment you export. Export again to refresh it.

Load it into Traktor

Open the import

In Traktor, right-click Track Collection in the sidebar and choose Import another collection.

Pick the file

Select the .nml file Ora DJ wrote. Traktor reads the tracks, cues, and playlists from it and adds them to your collection.

Traktor finds each track by its file location, so keep your music files where they were when you exported. A track whose file Traktor can't find shows up but won't play until the file is back in place.

A few things to know

  • There's no automatic sync for Traktor. The file is a one-time export each time you run it. (The automatic option is Rekordbox-only, see Rekordbox export.)
  • Supported formats are the same as the rest of the app: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, .flac, .aiff, and .aif.

To export a planned set as a tracklist or spreadsheet instead, see Export playlists.
