boots.list - From Rekordbox collection to set-ready playlist

Planning a DJ set in Rekordbox means hours of manually sorting tracks into an order that actually flows. boots.list fixes that. boots.list turns your Rekordbox XML export into a set-ready playlist. Filter by genre, dial in duration + BPM range, and get tracks ordered along a natural energy arc — intro, build, peak, resolve. Plus there's a built-in scanner that fills in missing BPM or Camelot key data by analysing audio locally on your Mac. No cloud. No telemetry. Cue points and loops intact.

Hey PH 👋 I'm Fraser, the developer behind boots.list. I built this because I kept running into the same problem before every gig — I'd have hundreds of tracks tagged and analysed in Rekordbox, but turning that into a set that actually flows still meant hours of manual sorting. BPM climbs in the wrong direction, the energy peaks too early, keys clash halfway through. It's tedious in a way that takes the fun out of prep entirely. I wanted something that could take the ordering logic off my plate — not replace my taste, just handle the structure so I could focus on the feel. boots.list is that tool. It's been through a lot of real-world testing across different genres and set lengths, and it's saved me a meaningful amount of time every time I sit down to prep. I hope it does the same for you. Happy to answer any questions about how it works, how the energy arc algorithm makes its decisions, or anything else. And if you're a Rekordbox DJ — I'd genuinely love to hear what you think after you try it.
