+----------+  +-----------+
  • 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:

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