Frequently Asked Questions

R2S Converter is a native macOS application that converts your entire Rekordbox DJ library to Serato format in seconds. It transfers hot cues with colors, playlists as crates, BPM, musical keys, and all metadata. Works directly from Pioneer USB drives — no Rekordbox installation needed.

R2S reads Rekordbox data from Pioneer USB drives or exported library folders. You export your library from Rekordbox to USB, then R2S accesses the native Rekordbox database files directly, extracting all metadata, cues, and playlist structure.

R2S transfers hot cues with colors (all 8 positions), playlists and folder structure (as Serato crates and subcrates), BPM values, musical keys (both Camelot and standard notation), metadata (artist, title, album, genre, comments), and star ratings. Memory cues and custom beat grids do not transfer.

Yes, perfectly. R2S maps all 8 Rekordbox hot cue colors to Serato's 8 color system. Your red cues stay red, blue cues stay blue, and so on. Colors are preserved exactly as you set them in Rekordbox.

Absolutely. Nested folders in Rekordbox become nested subcrates in Serato. Your entire playlist hierarchy is preserved, so you find tracks the same way you did in Rekordbox.

R2S processes most libraries instantly to seconds. A 5,000-track library converts in under 2 minutes. A 10,000-track library takes approximately 3-4 minutes. The conversion runs in the background, so you can continue working while it processes.

R2S works with any Pioneer USB drive or Pioneer hardware that supports Rekordbox library exports (Pioneer DDJ, DJM, CDJ controllers, and USB Rekordbox exports). It reads the standard Rekordbox database format, so compatibility is universal across Pioneer products.

R2S Converter requires macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later. It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Older macOS versions may have compatibility issues, so we recommend updating to the latest stable version.

No. R2S reads directly from Pioneer USB drives and Rekordbox export folders. Rekordbox does not need to be installed or running. This makes R2S faster and more convenient than other converters.

R2S Converter costs $10 USD as a one-time payment. No monthly subscriptions. No limits on conversions. Payment is accepted in USDT (Tron blockchain) for simplicity and speed. A free trial lets you convert up to 10 tracks before buying.

Yes. Download R2S and convert up to 10 tracks with full features completely free. No credit card required. No registration. This gives you a real sense of how the conversion works before committing to the $10 purchase.

After purchase, you'll receive a license key. Enter this key in R2S Converter, and it activates on your Mac immediately. The license is hardware-bound, so it works on that specific Mac forever, even after updates.

Each R2S license is bound to one Mac. If you own multiple Macs, you'll need a separate license for each. However, the one-time $10 cost is affordable, and licenses never expire or require renewal.

Lexicon is a web-based service ($12/month subscription) for library management across Rekordbox, Serato, and other software. R2S is a desktop app focused purely on converting Rekordbox to Serato in seconds. R2S is faster, cheaper ($10 one-time vs $12/month), and requires no internet after purchase.

R2S is extensively tested with thousands of DJ libraries. If you encounter an issue, contact support@r2s.pro with details of your library and error messages. We provide technical support to resolve conversion problems. Most issues are resolved within 24 hours.
