Everything DJs ask before they start their free trial.
Installs on your computer. Analyses your library, builds the set, exports to your DJ software.
Never. Everything runs offline on your machine. Your crates are your business.
Nope — and neither can anything else. DJ Toolbox Pro preps your music (keys, BPM, vocal/instrumental splits, format conversion), but it's not a magic wand. Feed it a crunchy 96 kbps rip and you'll get crunchy results right back. Quality in, quality out — start with the best source you've got and it'll treat it right.
Reads Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, Serato folders, VirtualDJ, Engine DJ and djay Pro libraries; exports .m3u, .nml and more.
macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs — on Apple Silicon it runs through Apple's built-in Rosetta. The app is notarized by Apple, so it installs cleanly with no "unidentified developer" warnings. Windows is in the oven — email us to join the waiting list.
Every tool for 7 days, up to 20 tracks at a time. No card needed — just your email.
One key, tied to your email. Enter it once — done. The annual plan includes free updates all year and sends a fresh key automatically each renewal; the monthly plan does the same every month. Cancel anytime.
The DJ Toolbox Pro app is a desktop app — it needs a real computer for the heavy lifting (analysing your library, extracting acapellas, building sets), so it can't be installed on a phone or tablet. The 🧞 Playlist Genie is the opposite: it's a web tool, so it works right in your phone's browser — pick a setlist on the go and it lands in your Apple Music app.
Runs in your browser. Turns any free setlist into an Apple Music playlist.
On purpose. On the free Setlist Machine, tapping 🔀 re-rolls the list — but the top 10 stay pinned, because those are the genre's biggest, must-play anthems (the hits no DJ leaves out). Everything from #11 down reshuffles into a fresh mix, so you get a different set every time without ever losing the essentials.
No — one key, one DJ. Your key is remembered in the browser you paste it into, so it survives restarts and you never re-paste it. Each key works in up to 5 browsers.
Why browsers and not computers? Every browser keeps its own private storage that other browsers cannot read. That is a privacy rule built into the web, not a choice we made, so a website has no way to tell that two browsers belong to the same person.
In practice that means:
So five is deliberately generous: it covers a laptop, a phone, a spare, and still leaves room if you switch browser. You only paste the key once per browser. If someone else tries to unlock with your key, the Genie spots it and blocks the export. Your pass also shows a visible countdown — when the time is up, exports pause until you resubscribe on the pricing page.
Yes. Every setlist is free to browse, copy and download — all 1,900+ of them, by genre, era, country and occasion. What costs money is sending one straight into Apple Music, because that is the part that saves you the hours of hunting and buying track by track.
Yes. Playlist Genie builds the playlist inside your own Apple Music library, so you need an active Apple Music subscription. It does not replace Apple Music and it is not a music subscription itself. If you do not have one, there is a free-trial link on the Playlist Genie page.
Four steps, and only the first time on each browser:
1. Paste your licence key into the unlock window and press Unlock.
2. A window opens on Apple's own site. Sign in with the Apple ID that has your Apple Music subscription.
3. Apple asks whether you allow DJ Toolbox Pro to add music to your library. Say Allow. We never see your Apple password: that window is Apple's, not ours.
4. The window closes, the playlist is built, and you get a link to open it.
After that this browser stays connected, so later sets go straight through without signing in again. Signing in happens in the browser, so being signed into the Apple Music desktop app does not count, and each browser you use needs its own one-off sign-in.
Why Apple asks twice. The sign-in above only gives us permission to add the playlist to your library. It does not sign you in to Apple Music itself. So when you then open the playlist to actually play it, Apple asks again: once for permission, once to listen. That is how Apple built it and we cannot merge the two.
Apple may also ask Trust this browser?. On your own laptop choose Trust and it stops asking for a verification code every time. On a venue or borrowed machine choose Not Now.
Once the playlist is in your library you can play it in the browser, or in the Apple Music app if you have Sync Library switched on. See the question below.
Open the unlock window on the Playlist Genie page and click Lost your key? Email me a link. Put in the email address you bought with and we will send a link that unlocks this browser straight away. No key to type.
Check your spam or junk folder. The link email often lands there the first time, because it is the first message our sending address has ever sent you. Mark it as not spam and add [email protected] to your contacts, and later emails from us will arrive properly.
The link is good for 30 minutes and only ever unlocks the pass bought with that address, so it is safe if someone else sees it after it expires. Want the key itself instead? Just reply to that email and we will send it. Your key is also on the original purchase receipt from our payment provider.
Clearing your browser history wipes the stored key, which is the usual reason people need this. It does not cost you any of your pass time, and it does not use up one of your ten devices.
Turn on Sync Library in the Apple Music app. Playlist Genie builds the playlist in your iCloud Music Library, and the desktop app only shows those playlists when Sync Library is on. On a Mac: Music → Settings → General → tick Sync Library. On Windows, it is in the Apple Music app under Settings → General. Give it a minute to fill in.
Two things worth knowing. Sync Library is remembered per Apple ID on each device, so if you sign out and sign back in with a different Apple ID it switches itself off again. And the playlist lands in whichever Apple ID you signed into in the browser — if that is not the same Apple ID as the one in your Music app, it will never show up there. Check the account name at music.apple.com to see where your playlists are actually going.
Handy shortcut: in the Apple Music web player, just above the Sign In button in the left sidebar, there is an Open in Music link. That hands you straight over to the desktop app instead of staying in the browser. You do not have to use it every time you add a playlist. Once Sync Library is on, new playlists appear in the app on their own; the link is only a quicker way to jump across.
If you only ever use Apple Music in a browser, none of this applies to you. Your playlist is already there.
An Event Pass is $7.99 for 7 days, Unlimited is $9.99 a month or $59 a year. There is a free demo set so you can watch it work before paying. Prices and the demo are on the pricing section.
Applies to the app and the Genie.
Because every tool is unlocked in the free 7-day trial, you can fully test DJ Toolbox Pro on your own library before you pay — so buying means you’ve already had your evaluation period.
You’re still covered by a 7-day Money-Back Guarantee: if within 7 days of your purchase you hit a verified defect that makes the app unusable and our support team can’t resolve it for you, we’ll refund you in full.
It doesn’t cover a change of mind after the app has worked for you, features it doesn’t offer, or conflicts with other software on your Mac. Requests must be made within 7 days of purchase, and we’ll always try to fix the issue first. Email [email protected].
No card. No risk. Just better sets.
