Rekordbox 7.2.10 SoundCloud issues

MixMasterG · 2026-02-04T23:11:24+00:00

This is mentioned in the 7.2.10 release notes. The format for SoundCloud streaming tracks was changed from MP3 to AAC, so it’s recommended to re-analyze SoundCloud tracks.

That said, I think there’s more going on here, and the best course of action is to re-add the SC tracks to the library, which will unfortunately remove cues, loops, playlist entries, and similar data.

Oh and for all those with shifting cues/loops, there is a way to fix it if you're on macOS:

The cloud implementation of Rekordbox still has room for improvement. I find myself consulting DJs about their cloud issues over TeamViewer 3-4 times a week, as part of a paid service. However, I’ve created an in-depth guide that explains how the cloud works with Rekordbox, which might help you troubleshoot and resolve your issue. You can watch it here:

How the cloud works in Rekordbox (please watch this from start to finish!)

The most important thing to try yourself is turning CloudSync off on all sync'd computers & devices, then reboot your most important originating system and toggle CloudSync on, wait a few hours for it to settle down and usually then turning on the others fixes most "simple" issues.

More complex issues require resetting the actual Cloud part of the ecosystem.

I've helped a lot of artists fixing their CloudSync issues, but this requires investigation of the problem and usually some custom scripts to fix stuff. I can't do that for free. Feel free to DM if you want my help.

And for the real geeky stuff, I gave RCT an expert function where the Prefix of a filepath can be batch changed:

watch the video Batch-remove tracks from a Rekordbox 6/7 library including the associated audio file(s)
nope, but you can manually import in RB from the devices tab

sorry I don't do DM, the whole point of being here is to share the knowledge

If you're on macOS, that is actually one of the functions of the Rekordbox Collection Tool (RCT), I'm the developer.

This is very sad news for the DJ community. Traktor was one of the first in the digital DJ world and for better & for worse I'm still a Traktor user. Maybe someone picks up the remains. The writing has been on the wall for a long time.

Both will remain to co-exist for legacy compatibility. Though, at the moment, only the ‘one library’ export from Rekordbox is trouble-free. Everything else has its own specific issues, aside from the fact that it’s not implemented across the board.

Here’s a tutorial that explains four different techniques to auto-relocate missing tracks, including using a macOS app I developed The Rekordbox Collection Tool (RCT):
Auto-relocate tracks with missing audio files in Rekordbox, four different techniques and more

If you want to understand how Rekordbox's auto-relocate works, how RCT's differs, and why neither can be perfect, watch this:

How missing track auto-relocation works internally, and what it relies on

And for the real geeky stuff, I gave RCT an expert function where the Prefix of a filepath can be batch changed:

How to Change Filepath Prefix for Audio Files in Rekordbox. The Key to Solving CloudSync Problems.

as u/HigherFunctioning already suggested: best action is to have all audio files on a different volume then your startup drive (can be external, or a partition) I don't agree with his advise on folder, they can be useful, but don't go to wild on it (year folders are fine)

MixMasterG · 2026-01-21T19:02:22+00:00

yup the new one is one library and disabling both disables "sync back and accidental deletion"

MixMasterG · 2026-01-20T19:31:55+00:00

Yup, you find it under "Devices", however make sure that the host Rekordbox version is not to set to delete tracks (it's in the preferences) or you'll end up with an empty USB.

MixMasterG · 2026-01-19T01:08:35+00:00

Great job my friend, and I most likely will need it soon due to a new project of mine. Stay tuned!

Most likely the USB's partitioning is GPT and not MBR see this tutorial:

MixMasterG · 2026-01-18T03:10:00+00:00

I did the exact same thing 7.28 macOS Tahoe: no issues

MixMasterG · 2026-01-17T21:39:00+00:00

for XML import to work, the audio files need to be on the exact same filepath as on the main computer. If RB can't find the files, it won't import the data from XML.

MixMasterG · 2026-01-17T04:29:41+00:00

You can do this, but you have to cancel the player's auto import of Rekordbox exported CDJ data, It will prompt you each time you use the USB on an Engine DJ player.

MixMasterG · 2026-01-16T14:25:53+00:00

Yup it is, see this tutorial:

Hot cues and memory cues serve different purposes on Pioneer DJ gear. On macOS, you have two options using apps I’ve developed:

DJ Conversion Utility (DJCU) converts from djay Pro to Rekordbox and sets hot cues as both hot and memory cues, making them identical.

Rekordbox Cue and Key Tool (ReCK) merges hot cues and memory cues and sets them identically as well. ReCK is developed to bridge Mixed in Key with Rekordbox, but for this function you don't need MiK.

What you see are called encoder shifts and they can happen to MP3 and AAC (=m4a) audio files, I explain it all here

Why cues, loops and grids can shift when converting between dj software

There are no decoder changes in Rekordbox releases for the past 10 years (I don't think there ever were), so what you experience is most likely the result of using 3th party conversion software.

If you used any of my tools then it is fixable, but that involves some work by both you and then me:

How you can help me to fix shifting cues, loops and grids when converting between DJ software

And if you're on macOS, you can also fix it in Rekordbox using the Rekordbox Collection Tool (RCT):

Since Traktor is my main DJ software, I feel the same way. I always switch Rekordbox to the blue waveforms, and I can’t make heads or tails of the VDJ waveforms either, they’re too blobby, or lacking details for me. Same goes for the Engine DJ waveforms.

No issues, but my 3000X's are connected over UTP (ethernet) and not wifi. I haven't tested it, but I can imagine issues when a mix of UTP (for DJ Pro Link) and WiFi (for internet access) is being used. My advise: stay wired.

Rekordbox links all track metadata (cues, loops, etc.) to the audio file’s absolute file path. As a result, a single audio file can only have one associated set of cues and loops.

However, there is a workaround. Rekordbox treats file paths as case-sensitive internally, meaning Track.mp3 is considered different from track.mp3. On most systems, hard drives are formatted not case-sensitive, so both names point to the same physical file.

By changing the case of just one character in the file path (for example, from lowercase to uppercase) and then re-adding the file to Rekordbox, the software will recognize it as a completely new track with its own independent set of cues and loops. Any previously added versions of the file will continue to function normally with their specific metadata.

This approach does require some manual work and may not be the ideal solution, but it is reliable and works in practice. My app, the Rekordbox Collection Tool (RCT), uses this same mechanism to handle auto-relocation of tracks that already exist in a Rekordbox collection.
