Select all the files in a particular playlist by clicking on one file in the playlist and holding down control + A (Windows) or command + A (Mac). In this example I've created a 'Party Bangers' and 'Trill Bass' crate.ĥ. Simply double click on the crate name, rename it, and press enter. Name the crates you create the same name as the Playlists being read from iTunes. Create crates by clicking on the crate icon at the bottom of the crate section.Ĥ. Go back to the main screen and click on Library to expand and view your iTunes playlists.ģ. Open your Serato software and make sure the Show iTunes library and option in the Library + Display tab of the Setup screen is checked.Ģ. This article will explain how to transfer your iTunes playlists into Serato DJ crates, and how to get new music imported in Serato DJ, while continuing to import and store music in iTunes.ġ. I eventually gave up on it and went to bed, so I'm not sure how long exactly it took.Many people have invested a lot of time organizing their music in iTunes but would like to stop relying on iTunes to import their files into Serato DJ, thus alleviating issues that can come along with having Serato DJ reading an iTunes library. The CPU usage for MC25 shot up and stayed that way for a number of hours. The import also took freakin' forever, and there was no indication what was happening or how long it might take. It did import all the Music playlists, which is decidedly unhelpful (most of them have 1-2 tracks). I know MC imported Podcasts still listed in the iTunes XML file, even when the "location" is an URL and not a file on the local file system. I had 74 out of 100,714 that were reported as "protected." That's the best I've been able to track down. I keep most of those online, and those were skipped. Unless you intentionally delete and then re-download the track, I think it stays in the protected version.Īs for Apple Music tracks, it's a little more difficult for me to say. I know the "free track of the week" and "discovery download" were.

Even after iTMS ditched DRM for most tracks, some exceptions included the "free track of the week," discovery download, and freebies from Starbucks, I think. From a brief perusal of my library, audiobooks purchased from the iTMS are protected AAC files (m4p).
