RekordFox

The modern, intuitive, and fast DJ library management alternative to Rekordbox.

---

🎵 About the Project

RekordFox was born out of a simple frustration: established DJ software like Rekordbox has become bloated, cluttered, and sluggish to navigate over the years.

RekordFox puts an end to this. It is a lightweight, cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) Electron app focused on what truly matters: managing your music library efficiently, quickly, and with an outstanding user experience.

✨ Features

• 🎧 Intuitive UI: No visual noise. A clean, custom-titlebar interface with light/dark mode and multiple accent color schemes.
• ⚡ Fast, Cross-Playlist Search: Find tracks in milliseconds, across your whole library, with clickable artist links.
• 📂 Drag & Drop Workflow: Reorder tracks, drag them between playlists, and build local playlists on the fly.
• 🎵 Playlists: Create local playlists, sync playlists from Spotify, or link a YouTube playlist/URL and download it for offline playback.
• 🔍 Discover: Find tracks similar to a given track or playlist to keep exploring your library.
• 🎚️ Analysis: Automatic BPM, beatgrid, key (Camelot), and energy analysis for every track.
• ▶️ Preview Player: A floating, draggable preview player with BPM/pitch control that persists across app restarts.
• 🔀 Smart Harmonic Shuffle: Queue mode that chains tracks by harmonic (Camelot) compatibility and energy.
• 💿 CDJ / USB Export: Export playlists straight into a rekordbox export.pdb on a USB stick, with auto-detected drives and a guided one-time CDJ/USB setup.
• 📤 rekordbox XML Export: Export your library/playlists as a rekordbox-compatible XML.
• 🌍 Multi-language: Available in English, German, Spanish, and French.
• 💻 Cross-Platform: Built with Electron, runs smoothly on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
