Leaving iTunes for Serato

A calm, reversible way to move your library out of iTunes and into folders and crates.

Moving off iTunes feels scary because it’s where your playlists live. The trick is to
do it in a reversible way: back up first, then move everything in one run.

What actually happens

  • Your playlists are rebuilt as Serato crates.
  • Every track moves into folders on your computer, with paths updated.
  • iTunes gets switched off inside Serato so it stays out of your way.

Your original library isn’t deleted - so if you change your mind, you can revert.
