Import Rau Studio XML into Rekordbox

This guide covers only the import part of the attached reference documentation: how to open the XML exported by Rau Studio in Rekordbox and bring its playlists into your library.

Key point: the XML does not contain embedded audio. Rekordbox reads file paths from each track Location, so the original files and converted/ folders must remain in place.

1. Enable the rekordbox xml Panel

The rekordbox xml browser panel is not always visible by default.

In Rekordbox, open:

Preferences > View > Layout

Enable the rekordbox xml checkbox.

Enable rekordbox xml panel

2. Select the XML Exported by Rau Studio

Without leaving preferences, open:

Advanced > Database

In the Imported Library section, click Browse and select the XML exported from Rau Studio.

Select Imported Library

When Rekordbox asks for the file, choose the exported XML and click Open. You can then close the preferences window.

Open XML file

3. Open the XML Library in Rekordbox

In the Rekordbox browser, open the rekordbox xml category.

You should see:

  • All Tracks: every track included in the XML.
  • Playlists: the exported playlist structure.

If you export the XML again from Rau Studio, use the refresh button next to All Tracks to reload it without configuring the XML path again.

4. Import Playlists or Tracks

To import a playlist:

  1. Open rekordbox xml.
  2. Open Playlists.
  3. Right-click the playlist.
  4. Choose Import Playlist.

Rekordbox creates the playlist inside your library and analyzes tracks if needed.

You can also import individual tracks by right-clicking and choosing Import To Collection.

Rau Studio Notes

  • The XML exported by Rau Studio keeps the full collection.
  • Tracks that were not converted keep their original Location.
  • Converted tracks point to converted/*.aiff.
  • If music is moved or a converted/ folder is deleted, Rekordbox can show missing files.
  • For a first test, import a small playlist before importing a large set.
