open-dj keeps DJ libraries from arguing with each other
A local-first toolkit and open metadata format for moving DJ libraries between rekordbox, djay, Serato, and Traktor.
Field notes
The project addresses a practical compatibility problem among rekordbox, djay, Serato, and Traktor by treating library metadata as portable records. Its format attaches source and timestamp information to values including BPM, key, cues, and ratings, allowing conflicting analyses to be merged deliberately. The page also describes cross-machine storage of stem-separation and vocal-detection results, while stating that library data remains on the user's machines. No download or demonstration is visible on the homepage.
