He probably got some internal library from Pioneer DJ so that his software isn't nearly useless with RB 6 and he made a little tool that actually decrypts the RB 6 native library and generates database.xml file. More info and workaround here: This guy (creator of DJCU etc.) has also come up with a workaround for the export issue. It's import of XML is still present, but it's slightly bugged since 5.6.1. RB 6 doesn't have XML export anymore, but allegedly other devs are in contact with Pioneer DJ about this. Hasn't the recent 圆RB release sort of killed 3rd party conversion? Yes and no. Rekordbox integrates natively Itunes db for example. Ideally having a push button populating a usb key in a rekordbox format is a must ! I have been working for 20 years for software companies and builing interfaces for integrating competitor's db was also part of our job :-). From a technical approach, looking at dj conversion utility, it takes a few seconds to convert a database.xml to a rekordbox.xml for 12000 tracks so i don"t think it is a big task to integrate a plugin in VDG (windows compatible !). Moving to the professional world means moving close to pioneer, so providing feature facilitating this step could be a good playing card for atomix. Adding the fact that clubs and festivals are bored with computer's DJ the only option is USB key in a rekordbox format. From a more strategic approach, pioneer is hardly linked with serato then traktor is a bit behind and VDG doesn't exist (almost). As notified by Groovindj, the playlists and the tracks can be imported and analysed by rekordbox without issues, the only effort concerns the cue points. Because our VDJ library is changing very often we need a sync app that could sync cue points that is the only gap to fill. I am a windows user and for DJ conversion utility I have build a macOS VM on virtual box. Rekord buddy seems to be compatible only with traktor and serato. Too heavy and not really interesting when your db is changing every day. That means upload thousands of tracks into the cloud. Rekord.cloud uses an export of the entire library, not only the databade.xml info. I had a look also into rekord.cloud and Rekord Buddy. Hope this enhancement could be achieved soon. This feature could really bring a real add value of VDJ in the professional area. The main goal is to be able to export quickly one or several playlists from VDJ to a USB key in a rekordbox format, keeping the cues (that is the most important point) so we can play our sets comfortably. The idea is not to build a full compatibility with rekordbox gui & collection. It takes time & effort, requires a mac os system and playlists are not managed correctly. I am currently using DJ conversion utility ( ) to convert database.xml to rekordbox.xml but I can't reach a good result as I have too many tracks in my library. The process of rebuilding a playlist from vdj to rekordbox with cues is a real boring task. The only option is to plug an USB key with a rekordbox format.
