How to Export Your Tracklist from Rekordbox for the SIAE Borderò

In brief:

- Rekordbox automatically saves the history of each DJ session

- The tracklist is exported from the History section in TXT format

- EasyBordero directly imports the TXT file and completes the borderò in 3 minutes

- Works with Rekordbox 6.x and 7.x

Why You Need to Export Your Tracklist

After each DJ set, you are required to complete the SIAE (Italian Society of Authors and Publishers) music program (borderò (music program report)) with a list of all the tracks played. Manual compilation takes 45-90 minutes because you have to search for each track in the SIAE catalog.

Rekordbox automatically records all the tracks you play in a session in the History section. By exporting this list, you can import it into EasyBordero, which automatically matches each track with the SIAE catalog.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open Rekordbox

Open Rekordbox on your computer. Make sure you have version 6.x or 7.x (previous versions have a different export format).

Step 2: Go to the History Section

  1. In the left panel, click on History
  2. You will see a list of all your sessions, ordered by date
  3. Select the session that corresponds to the event for which you need to complete the borderò

Step 3: Export the Tracklist

  1. Select all tracks in the session (Ctrl+A on Windows, Cmd+A on Mac)
  2. Right-click on the selection
  3. Select "Export Track List" or "Esporta lista tracce"
  4. Choose TXT format
  5. Save the file (e.g., serata-2026-04-05.txt)

Step 4: Import into EasyBordero

  1. Log in to EasyBordero (easybordero.it)
  2. Click on "Import"
  3. Select "Rekordbox" as the format
  4. Upload the exported TXT file
  5. EasyBordero automatically identifies each track in the SIAE catalog
  6. Verify the matches, correct any ambiguities
  7. Click "Invia borderò"

Total time: approximately 3 minutes compared to 45-90 minutes for manual compilation.

Supported Formats

EasyBordero supports several export formats from Rekordbox:

Format How to obtain it Supported
TXT (tracklist) Export Track List Yes
CSV Export to CSV Yes
M3U/M3U8 Export Playlist Yes
Database XML File > Export Collection Yes

The recommended format is TXT because it contains all necessary information (title, artist, duration) in a readable format.

Troubleshooting

History is Empty

If the Rekordbox History section is empty:

  • Verify that you recorded the session in Performance or Export mode
  • Check that history recording is active in Preferences > Advanced > History
  • If you used CDJ/XDJ with USB, the history might be saved on the USB stick

Exported File Not Recognized

  • Make sure you exported in TXT or CSV format, not other formats
  • Verify that the file is not empty (open it with a text editor to check)
  • If the file contains special characters, save with UTF-8 encoding
