Use rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0) to browse the tracks in your Inflyte Promo Locker and, if you have Dropbox enabled, rekordbox can even automatically import promos for you. The new rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3.0) also brings a host of new features to enable smoother preparation for performances and support for more file types. Rekordbox is a professional DJ platform that integrates everything from cloud music management to creative performance capabilities. It enables a seamless DJ experience via multiple cloud-connected devices, anywhere in the world. And it supports all. Upload tracks and playlists from your rekordbox library to cloud storage service Dropbox and access them with various devices. When you set up cues or create playlists, they’re instantly synced to the library on the cloud and available for you to play on the spot.

Library Sync

• Auto Upload isn’t enabled, even though the function is enabled on a playlist on another computer/mobile device.

  If your version of rekordbox doesn't support Auto Upload, it won't be enabled and the playlist will work in the usual way.

  Please update rekordbox to version 6.0.1 or later to enable Auto Upload.

• I want to start Cloud Library Sync all over again, how do I do that?

  You can start over from an empty library in ver. 6, or from a library conversion in ver. 5.
  Procedure:
  1. Make sure that Cloud Library Sync is turned on on all devices that have once been synced using Cloud Library Sync.
  　'- rekordbox (Mac/Windows):
  Go to [My Page] > [LIBRARY SYNC] tab > [Sync library to another device] and turn it on.
  　'- rekordbox (iOS):
  Go to [Settings] > [Account Information] > [Cloud Library Sync] and turn it on.
  2. Go to [Cloud Library Sync] > [Move to local storage] for tracks uploaded by rekordbox (Mac/Windows).
  3. Delete the Collection and all playlists in rekordbox (Mac/Windows).
  4. Wait for the Collection and playlists to be deleted on all synchronized devices.
  5. The ver. 6 library is now empty. If you want to start over from the ver.5 library conversion, go to the application menu and select [File] > [Library] > [Import your library from ver.5 (or earlier)].

• When I synced multiple devices using Cloud Library Sync, the same track showed up twice in the track list.

  You can select [Tracks stored on the computer] or [Tracks stored on other devices] in the Cloud column to remove unwanted tracks by filtering them.
  Syncing the same track on multiple devices with Cloud Library Sync after importing the same track on each device results in duplication. You can determine which device the track is from by filtering by [Tracks stored on the computer] or [Tracks stored on other devices] in the cloud column. Then you can delete the tracks you don't want.

• I’m having problems syncing to my Dropbox account. What should I do?

  Check if you're logged into your Dropbox account in the rekordbox preferences.

  Next, make sure the account you're logged into on the Dropbox desktop application matches the Dropbox account you're logged into within rekordbox.

• Tracks that only exist on other computers or mobile devices are listed in a track list. Can I hide the tracks that can’t be played?

  https://rekordbox.com/en/support/faq/library-sync-6/#faq-4690

• After uploading a track via rekordbox, I can’t play the track with the iTunes/Apple Music app.

  If [Move] is selected when uploading tracks, the tracks will move from the original folder to the Dropbox folder.

  As a result, the tracks in the folder that the iTunes/Apple Music app refers to are deleted and can't be played.

  To upload a track and keep it in the folder that the iTunes/Apple Music app refers to, select [Copy]. You can switch this setting in [Preferences] > [Advanced] > [Library Sync].

  If you've already moved a track to a Dropbox folder, you can return it to the previous folder by selecting [Cloud Library Sync] > [Move to local storage] in the context menu.

• Track titles are grayed out on my computer and I can’t play them.

  When a track title is grayed out, it means the file hasn't been transferred from your other computers/mobile devices. To play the track in rekordbox, you need to transfer it from your other computers/mobile devices in one of the following ways:

  • File transfer using Mobile Library Sync

  1. 1. Connect rekordbox (Mac/Windows) and rekordbox (iOS) to the same Wi-Fi network.
     2. In rekordbox (iOS), tap [Settings] > [Connect to rekordbox (Mac/Win)].
     3. In rekordbox (Mac/Windows), click [SEARCH MOBILE].
     4. Select the track from a track list in rekordbox (Mac/Windows) and right-click to show the context menu. Select [Mobile Library Sync] > [Transfer to this computer].

  • Using Cloud Library Sync

  1. 1. Open the information window and check which device contains the track with the grayed-out title.
     2. Upload the track from the device that contains it.

  rekordbox (Mac/Windows): Select the track from a track list, right-click and select [Cloud Library Sync] > [Upload] from the context menu.

  rekordbox (iOS): Swipe a track to the left, tap [...], and select [Upload to Cloud].

  3. Once the track has been uploaded, it will be downloaded automatically by the Dropbox desktop application installed on your computer.

Right now, we’re respecting the essential requirement of social distancing.

Dropbox Rekordbox

Like all of our friends in the music community, we look forward to being united once again on the dancefloor. Until then, to help you prepare, practice, and perform from your home, we’d like to announce that rekordbox ver 6.0 and rekordbox for iOS (ver 3.0) is now available. Loaded with a host of major new features, our updated DJ application now enables you to sync your whole music library on multiple devices via cloud-based application Dropbox^*1.

Rekordbox Dropbox Sync

What’s new in rekordbox ver. 6.0?

The way we enjoy music has evolved, with computers and mobile devices becoming the focal point for listening to our favorite sounds and emerging genres. Naturally, the needs of DJs have changed too. So, we’ve rebuilt rekordbox to offer centralized music management that stores your tracks in the cloud so you can play them via multiple devices whenever you like. Three new subscription plans – including a free option – offer different feature sets so you can use the package that best suits your needs. Choose from the Free, Core, and Creative plans.

For the first time, Export mode users can prepare sets in an advanced virtual DJing environment using Performance mode, which is now free of charge^*2. Take out the Creative plan within rekordbox ver. 6.0 and you’ll always have cloud access to the latest version of your library – wherever you are. Prep playlists, tracks, and metadata such as cue points on your studio computer then download it all to your laptop. You can even choose playlists and tracks to transfer to and from your iPhone. So, if you’re trying out ideas like setting Hot Cues on a new track, you can update your library from your iPhone and the changes will be reflected on all your devices. And if your computer goes missing or gets damaged, the music and metadata in your DJ library will be up to date and safely stored in the cloud.

Keen to drop the freshest sounds into your mixes? rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0) now integrates with Inflyte, the global music promotion platform. Use rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0) to browse the tracks in your Inflyte Promo Locker and, if you have Dropbox enabled, rekordbox can even automatically import promos for you.

The new rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3.0) also brings a host of new features to enable smoother preparation for performances and support for more file types. Read about all this and more in the Key Features information below.

rekordbox subscription plans
With the release of rekordbox ver. 6.0, we’re ending the previous licensing system. From now on, you’ll be able to use the application with your choice of a free plan or two monthly subscription plans. This means you can select the plan that best suits your lifestyle, and the way you DJ, and you can easily use advanced features. You can switch between plans whenever you like if you want to try out features included in a higher plan, e.g., Cloud Library Sync.

Three month introductory offer
We’re offering a 30-day trial of rekordbox ver. 6.0 subscription plans. This offer is open to everyone, even if you’ve used a rekordbox free trial for a previous version of the application.

Following the free trial, a special introductory offer will be available until July 13, 2020.

^*1 A Dropbox user account is required. A Dropbox Basic free plan includes 2GB of storage. You can earn more space for your Dropbox Basic account or upgrade to a paid subscription with more storage (as of April 14, 2020).
^*2 Performance mode is free when controlled via PC/Mac or a Hardware Unlock device, or when using the Core/Creative plan.

Note:

• rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0) can’t be activated with a ver. 5 license key.
• Subscription plans used with ver. 5 (or earlier) can’t be used with ver. 6.0. A subscription plan for ver. 6.0 is required.

Shared key features of rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0) and rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3.0)

1. Cloud Library Sync
   If you link your Dropbox account with rekordbox, you can upload a part or all of your library to the cloud when you use the Creative subscription plan. Then, when you log in to your Pioneer DJ account on another device, all your tracks, playlists, Hot Cues, etc. are synchronized. You can use this feature to create backups of your library, or to sync the library from your main computer at home or in your studio to your laptop or iOS device. You can also prepare playlists, tracks, and metadata such as cue points on your iPhone.
2. Mobile Library Sync for use with iPhones
   If you don’t take out a subscription plan, you can still transfer music on your computer directly to your iPhone by connecting both devices to the same network. If you edit metadata such as cue points and playlists on your phone, the changes will be seamlessly synced to the library on your computer when you reconnect both devices to a single network.

Key features of rekordbox for Mac/Windows (ver. 6.0)

1. Inflyte support
   If you use the Inflyte digital promo service, you can check out all the tracks in your Promo Locker without leaving rekordbox, then simply choose which files you want to import to your library. Want to skip a step? Switch on the automatic sync feature and all new files available in your Promo Locker will immediately import to your rekordbox library every time you go online.
2. Centralized management for various sources of music
   Manage all your music in one place with rekordbox ver. 6.0. As well as the files on your hard drive and those in the cloud and your Inflyte Promo Locker, you can access tracks from the Beatport LINK and SoundCloud Go+ streaming services. All your files will be analyzed by the application, enabling you to view waveforms, create Playlists, set Hot Cues, and tag tracks – wherever they come from. Even better, support for the new DJ streaming service Beatsource LINK, which is provided by the DJ music distribution services Beatport and DJcity, will be available via an update to rekordbox late Spring.
3. 3Band waveform gives a visual representation of frequencies
   Understand how a track sounds without even listening to it. 3Band waveform uses different colors to indicate the volume of each frequency band. The three elements are either stacked (full waveform) or layered on top of each other (enlarged waveform) depending on the view you choose, so you can see the composition of the music just by looking at the waveform.
   • Blue = lows
   • Amber = mids
   • White = highs
4. Light option in Skin settings greatly improves screen visibility outdoors
   If the sun’s shining on your screen, switch the Skin setting to Light mode and you’ll get a much clearer view of all the information in rekordbox. Whether you’re playing at a festival, pool party, or other outdoor event, browsing tracks becomes easy thanks to the specially designed white background and high-contrast interface.
5. Auto Relocate automatically finds missing tracks
   Never “lose” a track again thanks to the Auto Relocate feature. If the track you want to play next is missing because you moved it, rekordbox will search all locations within a specific folder chosen by you (e.g., your Pioneer DJ folder) until it finds the track, corrects the path, and plays it from the new location.
6. Ableton Link support for syncing with various apps and hardware
   Synchronize the tempo of the master rekordbox deck with other apps on your device, apps on external devices, and hardware that’s compatible with Ableton Link technology. Go back-to-back with DJs using different performance applications, keep samplers and instruments in time with your tracks, and sync your music with VJ and LJ software that supports Ableton Link.

Key features of rekordbox for iOS (Ver. 3.0)

1. Mobile Library Sync
   Sync the library on your iPhone by connecting it to the same network as your computer. You can download your entire library or choose the individual playlists and tracks you need. Any updates you’ve made to playlists or tracks on your phone will be reflected after Wi-Fi sync is complete.
2. Support for direct connection to CDJs and XDJs
   Find, review, and prepare tracks whenever inspiration strikes and play them directly from your phone on selected CDJs and XDJs. There’s no need to import files to, or export them from, your laptop. So, if you’re sent a hot new track just before your set (or even during it), you can play the analyzed file with Hot Cues, etc.
3. New GUI and features for smoother preparation
   Enjoy a smoother workflow. We created the new design and fresh features to help make it easier to prepare for gigs, even using a small screen. All of the following can be operated one-handed:
   • Playlist Box – for intuitive music management
     Reference the playlist/collection you’re browsing and keep an eye on the destination you’re sending tracks to, which appears at the bottom of the screen. With Playlist Box, you’ll always know where you’re moving tracks to and from.
   • Quick Cue – rapidly call up and set cue points
     Flick the Quick Cue button to the left to set your Memory Cues, flick it right to set your Hot Cues, and tap it to set Realtime Memory. There’s no need to switch screens.
   • Realtime Memory – set Memory Cues on the fly
     Set a Memory Cue point by tapping the Quick Cue button. You can do this when the track is playing and even during Auto Beat Loop. This saves the process of stopping the music and pressing cue, then Memory, so there’s no need to interrupt the groove.
   • Dual Control – preview specific points in mixes
     Check how a mix will sound further down the line. When you switch on Dual Control, all functions will be linked for both decks. So, with both tracks playing in sync, you can Beat Jump forward or swipe the waveforms and both tracks will advance by the same amount. This enables you to hear how the mix will develop without waiting for the tracks to play to that point.
   • Independent A/B Decks – easily prepare each deck
     When both decks are displayed in Player mode, you can view Deck A or B on its own by swiping left (to see Deck A) or right (to see Deck B). You can then select a new track or adjust any of the cue or grid settings for that deck only. Swipe again and you’ll switch back to viewing both decks.
4. Expanded features comparable to Export mode experience
   Preparing for gigs and DJing with rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3.0) feels similar to using the latest version of rekordbox Export mode (ver. 6.0). Use Beat Jump and Manual Loop, edit track and My Tag information, and find suitable tracks to play next with the Matching feature. You can play more file types too, including WAV, FLAC, and ALAC, as well as MP3 and AAC files.
