cli-anything-rekordbox

>- Command-line interface for Pioneer Rekordbox 6/7 - DJ library and live-deck control via guarded SQLCipher master.db access (pyrekordbox) + virtual MIDI mapping. Provides library inspection, playlist creation/add/clear, and live-deck mixing (play/sync/crossfade/EQ). Pioneer ships no playback REST API; this harness combines the only two real surfaces (encrypted DB + MIDI) into one agent-native CLI.

Prerequisites:

  • Python 3.10+

  • Virtual MIDI driver for live-deck control:

- Windows: loopMIDI / LoopBe / teVirtualMIDI - macOS: IAC Driver - Linux: ALSA virtual MIDI (snd-virmidi)

Command Groups

Library

Command Description
count Total track count

Command Description
list All playlists
create NAME [--force] [--no-backup] New playlist

clear NAME [--force] [--no-backup] Empty a playlist

Playlist writes create a master.db backup before mutation. They refuse to run while Rekordbox is open unless --force is supplied; forced writes still require a backup. --no-backup is only accepted when Rekordbox is closed.

Deck (live MIDI)

Command Description
play --deck N Play/pause
sync --deck N Tempo sync

eq --deck N --hi --mid --lo EQ control

+----------+  +-----------+
  • master.db is encrypted with a static AES-256 key shared by all rekordbox 6/7 installs (auto-extracted by pyrekordbox)
  • Virtual MIDI mapping uses Pioneer's standard .midi.csv format; this CLI ships Bunker.midi.csv and an install-mapping command to drop it into rekordbox's MidiMappings/ folder

JSON output

Every command supports --json:

$ cli-anything-rekordbox --json library count
{"track_count": 30344}
