REKORDBOX 2.01 Now with Key Detection!
Hey guys,
whether or not you use cdjs, rekordbox is free and 2.01 now detects track key!
Did i mention its free?

interested in seeing some that also use MixedInKey compare results to see how accurate it is
Downloaded it! Thanks for the heads up. Might be easier to compare results with beatport or something?
How are you guys finding the key detection?
Is it accurate?
Mobile app was updated too..
Get it while its hot.
Well I tried it on a couple of tracks and it didn’t do anything or am I missing something?
You need to turn on key analysis in preferences and make sure you have the key column active in the browser.
dude thanks for this … been wanting to mess with rekordbox and now I can get off my lazy bum and start regridding my tracks 
90% seem to be matching up to my Mixed In Key results (which I have in the comments field). I haven’t checked the differences yet to see which is more accurate.
The only gripe is that it isn’t in Camelot keys 
But thus far, a great extra and free feature!
Is there an easy way to convert to Camelot keys? If the key is wrote to the key field couldn’t you go through in a batch sort of thing and add it to the comments field? I might be talking out of my ass here…
Also thanks for the tips - got the key detection working!
Camelot Keys are okay I guess, though the actual note might get more interesting mix opportunities. 
I’m sure there is a user field to can enter into. Maybe the best bet is to have pio create the keys then somehow export to excel and change to camelot? I don’t know if there is really an easy to to convert it. Probably better off just learning the keys, and what works, good chance to get knowledgable with music anyways!
Is the key info saved back to Id3 tags in Rekordbox?
I think this is the first time rekordbox has one-upped traktor on anything…yay. Hopefully it has that traffic light thingie built in too?
This. I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to learn the circle of fifths.
and also whats the differance between knowing that Cm and Cm fit together or that 5A and 5A fit together.
I don’t see how it could be any more interesting mix opertunities.you still be mixing by the same prinsibles even if it’s Cm or 5A mixing in key wan’t change because of the way you name the cords. 10 can als be 0a and 10 + 10 will always be 20 or 14 ( witch actualy is 20) 
For those who for whatever reason still want the Camelot key and are running Windows, you can use MP3Tag to export the keys to a file, replace it and then import it back. It’s a very handy application. I am not sure, but must exist something similar for Mac users
how accurate is this key detection and is it good as Mixed In Key 5.0?
I’ve set up an action in mp3tag that automatically converts all of the keys that get written by rapid evolution to camelot keys. Then I can just load my tracks into mp3tag, start the action and wait for them all to be converted!
Hmmmm… It crashed…
