Just analyse the keys of the tracks in rekordbox, you wont lose anything. It just adds the keys.

cheers but what i mean is some tunes are keyed as e.g F, C, DM and so on and i would like to change them all to the camalot keys e.g 1m, 2m,8d and so on.

Sorry i thought the other way around. Well you have to analyze them with a program which does that and then put back in rekordbox. But the camelto keys info have to be saved on the comments tag. I know its easier with camelot keys for a lot of people but i learned to work around with rekordbox and the usual keys and its good. Also you learn some music theory :)

If you analyze the key of your collection, it will determine the key and then post the key in the Key field.

Then, you can sort your library by the Key field and do a bulk update of all the music files with the same key.  Just sort by Key field, then click on the first track of a certain key and scroll down until you see the last track in that key.  Hold Shift and click the last track.  Then you can edit the Comment field with the Camelot number and it will update all of those files.

Repeat that process for all of the keys.  Shouldn't take long.

Fuse, do the camelot numbers work with the "related tracks" function in rekordbox if  i check in the settings criteria "by key"?
