Sync

Syncing your library lets you copy all your Lexicon tracks and playlists into your favorite DJ app.

Syncing is very easy. Go to the Sync page from the sidebar menu and choose the DJ app you want to sync to. Most DJ apps require no extra work.

For Rekordbox, please refer to the Rekordbox page in the manual.

Conversion

Sync is also what you use when converting your library. See Convert Library in the manual.

Full or Playlist or Modified

You can perform a Full Sync, a Playlist Sync or a Modified Sync. With a Full Sync, any track that does not exist in Lexicon will be removed from your DJ app. A Full Sync makes it so that your DJ app is the same as Lexicon.

Rekordbox XML (not Rekordbox 6/7 Direct) is the exception to this rule because of the extra XML import step. Rekordbox does not delete anything when importing.

With a Playlist Sync, your existing library in your DJ app is preserved and tracks and playlists are only added or updated. Nothing is removed.

A Modified Sync is similar to Playlist Sync but instead of choosing a playlist, Lexicon will automatically pick the playlists and tracks that were changed since your last sync. Modified Sync becomes available after your first sync.

Field Mappings

To get your specialized fields like Energy or your Tags from Lexicon into your DJ app, you have to use field mappings. See the Field Mappings page in the manual.

Key Conversion

See the Key Conversion manual page.

Colors

Lexicon has many more colors than the DJ apps. You can tell Lexicon to change your colors to the nearest matching color when syncing. For example, if the DJ app you've chosen does not support the color orange, then all your orange colors from Lexicon will be changed to red in the DJ app.

Leaving the option off will set no color if the DJ app has no directly matching color.

Excluded From Sync

Any playlist, smartlist or playlist folder that starts with "Excluded From Sync" will be skipped when syncing to any DJ app.
