-
File Format Compatibility
-

File Format Compatibility
One of the primary reasons you might not see your music files in Rekordbox Cloud Dropbox is due to file format compatibility. Rekordbox supports a wide range of audio formats, but if your files are in an unsupported format, they won’t appear in the library. Here’s a list of supported formats:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| MP3 | Compressed audio format with a high degree of compression |
| WAV | Uncompressed audio format with high quality |
| AAC | Advanced Audio Coding, a lossy audio format with good compression |
| FLAC | Free Lossless Audio Codec, a lossless audio format with high quality |
| ALAC | Apple Lossless Audio Codec, a lossless audio format with high quality |
Ensure that your music files are in one of these formats. If they’re not, you can convert them using a third-party audio converter tool.

Go to the “Security” tab and click on “Edit” to modify permissions.
-
Ensure that the user account you’re using to run Rekordbox has read and write permissions for the music files.
-
Click “Apply” and “OK” to save the changes.
After adjusting the permissions, restart Rekordbox and check if the music files appear in the library.

-
Check the “Enable Dropbox Sync” option to ensure that the sync process is active.
