How to turn iTunes and Apple Music playlists into Serato crates
To turn iTunes or Apple Music playlists into Serato crates, use Crativity: pick a playlist, and it becomes a crate in your Serato DJ Pro library.
Steps
- Tidy the playlists first. In the Music app, clean up the playlists you plan to bring over.
- Pick a playlist in Crativity. Choose the playlist you want as a crate. Turn iTunes and Apple Music playlists into crates.
- Check the new crates. Open each new crate and make sure every track came across. Find and relink missing files.
- Put them in place. Move the new crates where they belong in your crate list, or tag their tracks so you can filter for them later.
