Convert your library to Serato

What does Lexicon DJ do?

If you've built up a collection of music tracks in one DJ software but want to switch to another, Lexicon DJ can help you do that without losing all your carefully crafted cue points, loops, and playlists. It acts like a translator between different DJ software languages.

So, for example, if you've been using Serato but want to move to Rekordbox, Lexicon DJ can take your Serato library, with all its specific data, and convert it into a format that Rekordbox can understand, saving you the headache of having to recreate your setup from scratch.

What gets converted to Serato?

Lexicon DJ preserves as much data as possible when converting to Serato. Here's what transfers over:

  • Playlists (crates) — your playlists are converted to Serato crates with the full folder structure.
  • Cue points & loops — hot cues are converted with their colors and labels.
  • Beatgrids — your beatgrid adjustments carry over.
  • Track metadata — titles, artists, genres, BPM, key, comments, ratings, and custom tags.
  • Album artwork — embedded artwork is preserved.

Conversion limitations for Serato

  • Serato FLIP is not currently supported.
  • Serato 3 does not support streaming tracks (Beatport, Tidal, etc.) in crates. If your playlists contain streaming tracks, they will not show up in Serato 3. Serato 4 does not have this limitation.
  • If you use streaming tracks, make sure the correct streaming service is enabled in the Serato settings, or those tracks will not appear.
  • Serato allows tracks directly inside playlist folders. Other DJ apps and Lexicon DJ do not support this, so any tracks placed directly in a folder (not in a crate) will not be visible after conversion.
