Serato to Rekordbox. Serato to the CDJ. Without starting over.
Segue takes what Serato knows about your tracks — crates, cues, grids and cue colours — and hands it to Rekordbox as XML, writes it straight into the database, or lays it onto a USB any CDJ will read on its own.
Built for the bits that usually break.
Libraries cross apps strangely. Cues drift, grids soften, folders flatten. Segue is the quiet layer that keeps them honest.
Desktop app
Runs locally on macOS, Windows and Linux. No cloud, no sign-in, nothing phoning home.
Finds your library wherever it lives
Internal drive, external SSD, SD card. Auto Import crates stay dim until you plug the drive back in — then they come up lit.
Rekordbox XML
Drop it into File → Import Collection. Crates become playlists, folders stay folders, nothing gets rearranged behind your back.
Straight into Rekordbox 6
Skip the import dance — Segue writes tracks and playlists right into the master DB. Open Rekordbox and they're already waiting.
A stick the CDJ already speaks
Segue lays down the full Pioneer structure —
export.pdb and the ANLZ files —
so you can skip Rekordbox entirely and walk up to the booth.
Drop a folder in, get a crate
Downloads folder, an edits stash, a friend's zip — drag it in and Segue reads the tags and files it next to your other crates.
The prep work stays prepped
Hot cues, memory cues, cue colours, beatgrids — each mapped to the closest thing Rekordbox has. No re-cueing before the set.
Whatever's in the booth
CDJ-3000, 2000NXS2, XDJ-1000, XDJ-RX3 — anything that reads a standard Rekordbox stick will read Segue's.
Nothing gets moved or rewritten
Segue reads
~/_Serato_/ and never writes
back. Your audio files don't budge either.
Look before it leaps.
A dry run first — track count, drive format, and the one file that's gone missing since last Saturday. Then, only when you're happy, it writes.
Pre-flight
A quiet sanity check before anything leaves the app. Counts, formatting, the file that wandered off — all surfaced up front.
Three ways out of Serato.
Pick the one that matches the booth. Segue quietly handles the shape of it.
XML
The safe route. Rekordbox opens it through Import Collection, and nothing in your existing library gets disturbed.
How it worksRekordbox 6 DB
The fast route. Segue writes tracks and playlists in place, so Rekordbox has nothing left to import.
How it worksCDJ USB
The no-laptop route. Segue builds the whole Pioneer structure on a stick. You plug it in and you're already in.
How it worksGet Segue
Free. No sign-in, no cloud — just a small app on your machine.
macOS
Apple Silicon and Intel builds, both signed so updates land quietly in the background.
First open on macOS — what to expect
Segue is signed ad-hoc while an Apple Developer certificate is on the way. On first launch, macOS may show "Segue can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer". Right-click the app in Applications, pick Open, then Open again in the dialog. That's a one-time bypass — after that it launches normally.
If you see "Segue is damaged and can't be opened" instead, that's Gatekeeper's misleading label for an unsigned build from before the ad-hoc signing shipped. Open Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Segue.app Then open Segue normally. Nothing is actually damaged.
Linux
An AppImage that runs on most distros, or a Debian / Ubuntu package if you prefer things tidy.
