Traktor Bridge
Hello all :)
As a Traktor user and lover for over 20 years, I've often been confronted with having to play on CDJs. For me Traktor is far superior for organizing my music, but I was missing a tool to facilitate my DJ ecosystem and the reality of having to play on CDJ setups.
I developed Traktor Bridge to transfer Traktor collections to Rekordbox XML format, RecordBox Database, M3U or direct USB transfer with Artwork, files etc
This has been a passion project that took me 2 years to develop from the initial concept to the current version, working on it during my free time. While I've thoroughly tested my code, I want to be upfront - there are no guarantees. I've decided to offer it freely to the community. It's up to you to see if it fits your needs or not :)
What is Traktor Bridge?
A comprehensive yet user-friendly utility that converts Traktor Pro playlists and collections into CDJ/XDJ compatible formats. It automatically locates and relocates audio files, exports them with integrity verification, and provides complete track preview with audio playback.
A solution for Traktor users with extensive playlist libraries who want to preserve years of organizational work without rebuilding everything in Rekordbox.
