Import Beatport playlists

Overview

TrackDen adds an import button directly to Beatport playlist pages so you can pull entire playlists into your library in one click. Smart sync detects when a playlist is already imported and shows you exactly how many new tracks need syncing.

Quick start

1. Navigate to your Beatport playlist. Go to beatport.com and open any of your playlists (e.g. beatport.com/library/playlists/123456).
2. Click the TrackDen import button. The red-and-black button shows one of:
   • “Import to TrackDen” — first time importing this playlist
   • “Sync Playlist (up to date)” — already imported, nothing new
   • “Sync Playlist (X new)” — number of new tracks to sync
3. Wait for the import to complete. TrackDen processes tracks in the background. Open TrackDen to watch progress as tracks land.

Smart sync

TrackDen recognises playlists it has imported before, even if you’ve renamed them in TrackDen.

• Automatic detection. The button text reflects the current sync state.
• New-track count. See exactly how many tracks have been added on Beatport since your last sync.
• Incremental. Only new tracks are imported — your existing order and custom metadata are preserved.
• Real-time updates. If the playlist is open in TrackDen, new tracks appear as they’re imported.

How it works

Import process

1. TrackDen extracts the playlist name and all track URLs from the Beatport page.
2. Creates a new playlist in TrackDen (or finds the existing one for sync).
3. Processes each track in the background, fetching full metadata.
4. Links tracks to the playlist in Beatport’s original order.

Multi-platform support

Imported playlists keep their source-platform info, which means:

• Reliable sync detection across sessions.
• Multiple playlists with the same name from different platforms work fine.
• Future cross-platform features (more platforms coming) will use the same model.

Tips & best practices

• Large playlists. Imports with 50+ tracks may take a few minutes. You can keep using TrackDen while they run in the background.
• Duplicate prevention. TrackDen detects if tracks are already in your library and links to the existing entry instead of creating duplicates.
• Name changes. Rename playlists in TrackDen after import if you want — the sync uses Beatport’s playlist ID, not the name.
• Regular syncing. Sync your favourites regularly to keep TrackDen aligned with Beatport.
