and from Virtual DJ. During the import not only the audio files are imported, but
also any playlists that you have created in the supported third party applications.
also imported is certain track information, like beatgrids, cue points and – if appli-
cable – the first loop you set in the third party tool.
perform the following steps to import the collection from another DJ software:
open the File menu and select Import Third Party Database. croSS DJ

application.

Trak tor x.x.x below your documents folder. x.x.x represents the trak-
tor version you are using. If you changed the default location of the
collection file (one the Preferences/File Management tab), open this
folder instead. Then select the file collection.nml.

CROSS DJ will import all audio files from the third party library into the CROSS DJ
collection. When the import is done, you will find all audio tracks inside the Music
node of the collection.
If the imported collection contains playlists, croSS DJ will import them and create
new entries directly below the playlists node. the traktor playlists can be found in
the node Playlists/import-Traktor, the rekordbox playlists in the node Playlists/
import-Rekordbox, and the VirtualDJ playlists in the node Playlists/import-Vir-
tualDJ. you can drag and drop the imported playlists to a new position in the tree
or rename them, if you wish to.
