Crate Scrape
From Scrape to Crate, Spotify to Serato — the complete workflow.
▶ Full walkthrough ↓Watch the whole workflow in one take.
A narrated pass through every screen — Scrape, Match, Mix, Crate, Library, Themes. Click the frame to turn the audio on.
Every Scrape starts with a paste.
Drop a Spotify URL, or a flat Artist — Title list. CrateScrape pulls full tracklist, and any other information it can in seconds — then lights up the Match button.
Match to your library.
For every source track, CrateScrape surfaces the candidates on your drive — DJ edit and original side by side. The one already in your crates floats up first.
Mix the tracks your way.
Pick the mix rule the set follows. CrateScrape orders the tracks in one pass — it’s key-aware, tempo-aware, or shaped to a peak. Lock your important tracks to the top.
Camelot wheel. Adjacent keys only.
Small BPM jumps. Ignores key.
Energy peaks around 62%.
Builds gradually, end to end.
Save the Crate, export when ready.
Every set you build becomes a scrape first — local, editable, organized in nested folders inside the app. Reopen it next week, swap a track, lock the order, then publish to Serato. Or export to M3U whenever you want. Saving doesn’t touch Serato.
Save it as a scrape
Lives in the Scrapes tab inside CrateScrape. Edit the order, swap tracks, rename it, drop it in a folder, come back to it next month. Nothing touches Serato yet.
- Editable — swap, reorder, rename anytime
- Nested folders — Weddings · 2026
- Local-only — never leaves your machine
- Re-export — publish again with one click
Publish to Serato
Writes a native .crate into _Serato_/Subcrates. Appears the next time Serato opens.
Publish to Virtual DJ
Writes the same set as a Virtual DJ folder. Same tracks, no second pass.
Export M3U
Plain playlist file. Works in any DJ app, any media player, anywhere.
Every track you own, one keystroke away.
Thirty thousand tracks, indexed locally. Smart Search spans artist, title, key, BPM, genre, energy, color, and Serato tags — one field, every column. Filter by decade, genre, and edit tags.

Type what you remember, find what you’ve got.
Smart Search looks at every field at once — artist, title, key, BPM, genre, even your Serato tags. Tracks already in your crates float to the top, so the version you’ve actually played at three weddings shows up before anything you haven’t.
Type “50 cent club”. 11 of 30,729 tracks match. The DJ edit you’ve been hammering since 2022 lands at row one. The album cut, the clean, the remix all sit below it — close enough to reach, not in your way.
Narrow until it’s the exact set.
Every chip combines. Click a decade, click a genre, layer on edits only or already in a crate, end up with the exact tracks you want.

Nineteen palettes out of the box, every pixel re-skinned in one keystroke. Hover the cards above to feel it — the whole page repaints in 0.45 seconds. ⌘K does the same inside the app. Pick one for the prep session, swap to another for the gig, change again when you’re bored.
Customize + export. Build your own, save it, share it. Themes ship as plain JSON — forkable, diffable, handable-to-a-friend.
