Sync playlists to your DJ apps

DJ in the desktop sidebar lists every crate on your computer from rekordbox, Serato, Traktor and Virtual DJ, next to your team's Aden playlists. A crate and its Aden copy are one row.

Send a playlist to your DJ apps

1. Open DJ.
2. Turn on In DJ apps on an Aden playlist.

Aden downloads the final version of each of your tracks in the best quality stored. A new final replaces the file in place, so your cue points stay. Turn the switch off to take the playlist out of your DJ apps; the playlist and audio stay.

The first row, Latest from your team, holds your 30 newest tracks. Turn it on and new tracks and finals keep landing in your DJ apps on their own.

Where it shows up

• Serato: an Aden crate folder appears by itself.
• Virtual DJ: playlists starting with "Aden" appear in Playlists.
• rekordbox: once, under Preferences > Advanced > rekordbox xml > Imported Library, pick the rekordbox xml file in the Aden folder inside Music. Your playlists then show under rekordbox xml, with BPM and key.
• Traktor and others: import the playlist files from the Aden folder inside Music.

Bring a crate into Aden

Each row says which side is behind:

• Only in rekordbox (or another app): Add to Aden makes it an Aden crate. Your own tracks link to the real tracks.
• New in rekordbox: Update Aden adds only the new tracks.
• Newer in Aden: Update files fetches new finals.

Tick several rows and press Sync to run them together.

Inside a crate

• Double-click a track to play it. Tracks not on your computer stream from Aden.
• Drag tracks onto a playlist to add them, or out into your DJ app or Finder.
• On an Aden playlist, Add your tracks searches your catalogue.
• Double-click your track's title to rename it, or click its status to change it.

If Aden can't find a library, open Libraries, pick the app and choose Read from….
