Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Designed for DJs who prep in Rekordbox and want less guesswork before they hit the decks.

📥

Rekordbox XML import

Load your library directly from a Rekordbox XML export. Tracks, BPM values, Camelot keys, and genre tags all come with it.

🎛️

Genre & duration control

Filter by genre, set how long the set should run, and dial in your BPM range. boots.list handles the ordering.

〰️

Energy arc chart

See your playlist plotted as a BPM chart, color-coded by set stage — intro, build, peak, resolve. Spot issues at a glance.

📤

Export straight to Rekordbox

Save as an XML file and import it back into Rekordbox. Your cue points and loops stay untouched.

🗂️

Playlist history

Every generated playlist is saved. Reopen, rename, and re-export any previous session without re-generating.

🔒

Private by design

Your Rekordbox library never leaves your Mac. Only your account details are stored — everything else stays local.

How it works

From collection
to set-ready in four steps.

Export from Rekordbox

In Rekordbox, go to File → Export Collection in XML format. This creates a snapshot of your library with all the metadata boots.list needs.

Import your collection

Open boots.list and choose your rekordbox.xml file. Your tracks, BPM values, Camelot keys, and genres load instantly — no cloud sync required.

Shape the direction

Pick a genre lane, set a target duration, and dial in your BPM range. Hit Generate and boots.list builds a set following a natural energy curve.

Review and export

Check the energy arc, tweak the playlist name, and export as XML. Import it straight back into Rekordbox — cue points and loops intact.
