How can we sync Rekordbox XML with DJay on Metaquest

  • Device model: Metaquest3
  • Version of operating system: HzOs 79
  • Version of djay: latest for Meta as of August 20255
  • Hardware/controllers used: (waiting for Algoriddim to confirm that Numark DJ2Go2 Touch pre-cue works)

Backstory to main question:
In an effort to streamline sorting and tagging of “digital vinyl” (a.k.a my Mp3s)… I’m grudgingly settling on Rekordbox as a solution despite it’s crazy crappy XML based “collection” workflow.

So I have the workflow working for TribeXr (native support for Rekordbox ) and Vinyl Reality (includes a hack/workflow of extracting BPM from rekordbox XML and using MP3tag to then sequentially write BPM as MP3 ID3tags because Vinyl Reality the VR turntable software can only read embedded Bpm)

Main Question
What workflow does Djay propose so Mp3 can be read from a Rekordbox processed song to include:

  • BPM
  • hot cue points
  • Key

Thank you!

Hi @dirrogate, currently our Meta Quest version does not support song information import. Keys and BPM are auto-detected, hot cue points are not imported.

Thanks @Slak_Jaw.

I’m just seeing how impossible life really is for modern day DJs.

No standardized format for interchange of music. No plug 'n play inter-operability.

Back in the day it was simple —lug crates with little sticker labels with BPMs written on them with sharpies :face_holding_back_tears: and few spare stylus’ in yr pocket and a pair of headphones.

Today Rekordbox won’t talk to serato (they might now that they’ve got a common owner)…Djay won’t read serato/rekordbox meta data… Rekordbox cripples non pioneer hardware from sending midi jogwheel messages…Numark makes portable controllers that actually don’t have any software to interface with them on portable hardware (phones / Android..)

So overall we have DJs jumping from platform to platform to sort, cue and perform :joy:

This is what happens to the art industry when it’s run with an “engineering first” and “coder centric” a.k.a, “Tech Bros” approach

You’re welcome @dirrogate.
