Requirements
You need to have the following installed:
- Engine DJ
- Rekordbox 6 or 7
- Lexicon
Rekordbox needs to be started at least once.
You need an active Lexicon subscription. Basic is all you need. You can activate your subscription from inside Lexicon.
Steps
Converting from Engine DJ to Rekordbox is very easy, just follow these steps.
Make sure Engine DJ and Rekordbox are fully closed.
Open Lexicon.
Go to the Sync page.
- Click the
Import tracks & playlists
button at the bottom.
- Choose
Engine DJ
. Lexicon should automatically detect your Engine DJ database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected so your entire Engine DJ library is imported.
- Click
Start importing
in the bottom right corner.
Now your entire Engine DJ library will be visible in Lexicon. That was part one of the process. The second part is to sync your library to Rekordbox.
- Go to the Sync page again. This time we stay there and don't proceed to the import page.
- Choose
Rekordbox
. Lexicon should automatically detect your Rekordbox database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected and leave the other options on their defaults.
- Click
Sync to Rekordbox
in the bottom right corner.
After the process is complete, your Engine DJ library will be fully converted to Rekordbox.
All your playlists are now converted to Rekordbox. All your tracks, cues, beatgrids and other tags will all be there.

For details and conversion limitations, please see the manual.
Lexicon does a lot to minimize the limitations of each DJ app, for example, through Field Mappings.
