Introduction

This Python script converts your Rekordbox collection into a hierarchy of m3u8 playlists and folders (for playlists that are inside a group).

This is especially helpful for syncing playlists into iTunes or to simply export your music to other software.

The script creates a folder called playlists in which you will find all your playlists converted to m3u8 playlist files and subfolders based on the hierarchy of your rekordbox library.

Prerequisites and Usage

In order for this script to work properly you will need a few things before hand.

• a working Python installation.

• export your collection from Rekordbox to an xml file. As of Rekordbox 7.0.1, this is easily done by clicking on File -> Export collection in xml format.

  The script, as-is, needs the library file saved as a 'rekordbox.xml' file in the same folder as the script itself.

For execution, simply type python rekordbox-m3u8-batch.py in your terminal window or using your preferred Python environment.

Run the file and the folder 'playlists' should appear.

For iTunes usage, simply select all the playlists you wish to import and click 'Enter'. Voilà!
