**rbox** is a high-performance Rust library for seamlessly interacting with Pioneer DJ's Rekordbox software data.
It supports the following Rekordbox files:
- **Rekordbox database**: Query and update the Rekordbox v6/v7 master.db database through a type-safe ORM
- **One Library**: Read and write Rekordbox One Library (Device Library Plus) export files
- **XML database**: Read and write Rekordbox XML database files
- **Analysis Files**: Read and write ANLZ files containing waveforms, beat grids, hot cues and more
- **Settings Access**: Read and write My-Setting files
## 🔧 Installation
rbox is available on Cargo. Run the following Cargo command in your project directory:
```shell
cargo add rbox
```
or add the following line to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
rbox = "0.1.7"
```
### Features
The library is organized into modular components that can be enabled individually:
- `full` (default): Enables all component features
- `master-db`: Access to the Rekordbox 6/7 master.db database (enables `anlz` feature)
- `one-library`: Access to the One Library (Device Library Plus) database
- `anlz`: Support for ANLZ analysis files
- `xml`: Support for Rekordbox XML database files
- `settings`: Support for My-Setting files
#### SQLCipher Features
The `master-db` and `one-library` features require SQLCipher for working with Rekordbox's
encrypted database files.
To make building easier, there are two optional features for choosing SQLCipher's installation:
- `bundled`: Uses a bundled version of SQLCipher.
This searches for and links against a system-installed crypto library to provide the crypto implementation.
- `bundled-vendored-openssl` (default): Uses `bundled` with a vendored version of OpenSSL.
This is the most portable option and requires no system dependencies but increases compilation time.
On Windows, a Perl installation such as [Strawberry Perl](https://strawberryperl.com/) is required
to build OpenSSL.
#### Language Bindings
The library can be compiled with bindings for other programming languages.
These features are used in the bindings and *should not be enabled manually*:
- `pyo3`: Enables Python bindings
- `napi`: Enables Node.js/JavaScript bindings through N-API
## 🚀 Quick-Start
> **❗ Caution**:
> Please make sure to back up your Rekordbox collection before making changes to rekordbox data.
> The backup dialog can be found under "File" > "Library" > "Backup Library"
### Rekordbox 6/7 database
Rekordbox 6 and 7 use a SQLite database for storing the collection content.
Unfortunatly, the `master.db` SQLite database is encrypted using
[SQLCipher][sqlcipher], which means it can't be used without the encryption key.
However, since your data is stored and used locally, the key must be present on the
machine running Rekordbox.
rbox can unlock the new Rekordbox `master.db` SQLite database and provides
an easy interface for accessing and updating the data stored in it.
```rust
use rbox::prelude::*;
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut db = MasterDb::open()?;
let contents = db.get_contents()?;
for content in contents {
println!("{:?}", content);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### One Library (Device Library Plus)
For newer generation Pioneer DJ devices, Rekordbox exports a new library format to the USB storage
device (or SD card), called ``One Library`` (formerly known as ``Device Library Plus``).
As of 2025, this format is only supported by the [OPUS-QUAD], [OMNIS-DUO], [XDJ-AZ] and [CDJ-3000X] devices.
The database schema is similar to the main Rekordbox database. It contains a selection of tables
from the main database, with similar columns and data types.
rbox can unlock the new Rekordbox `exportLibrary.db` One Library database and provides
an easy interface for accessing the data stored in it:
```rust
use rbox::prelude::*;
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut db = OneLibrary::new("exportLibrary.db")?;
let contents = db.get_contents()?;
for content in contents {
println!("{:?}", content);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Rekordbox XML
The Rekordbox XML database is used for importing (and exporting) Rekordbox collections
including track metadata and playlists. They can also be used to share playlists
between two databases.
rbox can read and write Rekordbox XML databases.
```rust
use rbox::prelude::*;
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut xml = RekordboxXml::load("database.xml");
let tracks = xml.get_tracks();
for track in tracks {
println!("{:?}", track);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Rekordbox ANLZ files
Rekordbox stores analysis information of the tracks in the collection in specific files,
which also get exported to decives used by Pioneer professional DJ equipment. The files
have names like `ANLZ0000` and come with the extensions `.DAT`, `.EXT` or `.2EX`.
They include waveforms, beat grids (information about the precise time at which
each beat occurs), time indices to allow efficient seeking to specific positions
inside variable bit-rate audio streams, and lists of memory cues and loop points.
rbox can parse and write all three analysis files.
```rust
use rbox::prelude::*;
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut anlz = Anlz::load("ANLZ0000.DAT")?;
let grid = anlz.get_beat_grid().unwrap();
for beat in grid {
println!("Beat: {} Tempo: {} Time: {}", beat.beat_number, beat.tempo, beat.time);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Rekordbox My-Settings
Rekordbox stores the user settings in `*SETTING.DAT` files, which get exported to USB
devices. These files are either in the `PIONEER`directory of a USB drive
(device exports), but are also present for on local installations of Rekordbox 6.
The setting files store the settings found on the "DJ System" > "My Settings" page of
the Rekordbox preferences. These include language, LCD brightness, tempo fader range,
crossfader curve and other settings for Pioneer professional DJ equipment.
rbox supports both parsing and writing of My-Setting files.
```rust
use rbox::prelude::*;
use rbox::settings::Quantize;
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut sett = Setting::load("MYSETTING.DAT")?;
println!("Quantize: {}", sett.get_quantize()?);
sett.set_quantize(Quantize::Off)?;
sett.dump()?;
Ok(())
}
```
