DJ brands unite to launch OneLibrary – OneLibrary Summary
What began as AlphaTheta’s Device Library Plus has evolved into OneLibrary through collaboration with other manufacturers. Thanks to the collaboration with Algoriddim and Native Instruments, OneLibrary now allows DJs to export their music libraries for seamless use across djay Pro and Traktor software. djay Pro supports USB Export today, with Traktor Play and Traktor Pro 4 support due in upcoming updates.
What is OneLibrary?
If you use djay Pro, Traktor Play, or Traktor Pro 4, you can now perform with just a USB drive into any of the supported AlphaTheta products (CDJ-3000X, CDJ-3000, XDJ-AZ) – no laptop is needed. Pretty big news. Not ideal news for all of those library conversion tools that are around to solve this exact situation.
Here’s the OneLibrary press release from AlphaTheta
October 21st, 2025: The DJ world is about to become more open.**** As part of its ongoing commitment to the sustainable growth of DJ culture and a more open industry environment, AlphaTheta has been actively collaborating with other manufacturers on an exciting new initiative. In a key step forward, the company has worked with multiple leading DJ equipment and software makers to jointly develop OneLibrary – a unified music library format that works with software and hardware from different brands.Until now, differences in library formats across brands could limit you to specific software and hardware, which often meant you might not be able to access your personal music libraries or use USB devices on all the equipment available at a venue. OneLibrary addresses this by standardizing essential DJ performance data – such as playlists, cue points, and beatgrids – across compatible platforms. This shared library format gives you far greater flexibility, with the option to play your music on a wider range of equipment, from performing with a computer at home to using USB drives at venues.Speaking about OneLibrary, Yoshinori Kataoka, President and CEO of AlphaTheta Corporation, commented:“We’re thrilled to launch OneLibrary, a step forward in making creative expression more seamless for DJs everywhere. At AlphaTheta, our mission is to empower DJs to express themselves freely, without limitations. We’re grateful to our industry partners for sharing that vision and coming on board with this initiative. And this is just the start – so stay tuned.”Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim GmbH, said: “At Algoriddim, we’ve always embraced open, accessible DJ technology that empowers creativity. Collaborating with AlphaTheta on OneLibrary aligns perfectly with our mission to remove barriers in the DJ ecosystem. By allowing users to export djay Pro’s library for direct use on pro hardware like the CDJ-3000X, CDJ-3000, or the XDJ-AZ, we’re giving DJs the flexibility to perform seamlessly across setups – whether at home, in the club, or on stage.”Nick Williams, CEO of Native Instruments, also shared his thoughts: “Everything we do at Native Instruments is about inspiring and enabling creators to express themselves through sound. OneLibrary is a big step toward a more open and collaborative DJ ecosystem – where music moves as freely as the people who play it. We’re proud to be an early partner with AlphaTheta in this initiative, and to bring seamless USB export not only to Traktor Pro 4 users worldwide, but also to new DJs starting out on Traktor Play.”
