Syncing rekordbox with Cross 3

Hi,

I've spent a while working with my music in rekordbox - sorting beatgrids, saving loops etc. Now I've installed Cross DJ 3 I want to know how to get all of that information from rerkordbox into the software. Is there a detailed tutorial or step by step guide somewhere? I've been searching but haven't found one yet.

Just curious as to why you are moving away from Rekordbox?

Import RB as 3rd party database.
If you like you can create a new collection in Cross to try.

Thanks. I just tried to do that, but the only xml file I can find in the rekordbox folder was a masterplaylists one that Cross DJ said was not recognised. Am I doing it wrong?

I just found the 'export collection' option in RB, hopefully that'll work now

So I've imported the rekordbox xml and it's brought in all of my loops, but the beatgrid adjustments (I play a lot of un-quantised, live drummed disco and boogie) haven't remained, so the loops are useless in some places. Have I missed a setting on import?

I find rekordbox easier to adjust grids and set loops, so I was hoping to use the two programs side by side, editing grids and loops in RB and then playing them in MV. Is this not gonna work? Do I just need to do everything in MV and forget about RB?
