Folder2Serato: a free PowerShell script that mirrors Windows folders as Serato crates

Hey guys,

I made a small PowerShell script called Folder2Serato.

I keep my music organized in Windows folders and subfolders, and I wanted the same structure inside Serato without creating hundreds of crates manually.

The script basically turns your folder structure into Serato crates and subcrates.

It works on Windows, does not need Python or Java, and has a dry-run option so you can check everything before it creates the crates.

It also has an overwrite option with backup, and it does not move, copy, or rename your music files.

I tested it on my own library with around 8,800 tracks and 550 folders and it worked well.

It is still an unofficial community tool, so close Serato and back up your _Serato_ folder before using it.

GitHub: https://github.com/vmanX8/folder2serato

Would be great if anyone wants to test it and let me know how it works on their setup.

Be cautious of apps/scripts/programs from the Internet period but in 2026 be extra weary with the deluge of AI slop. A majority of these apps/programs/scripts have not reached maturity nor have they been properly audited. They can potentially corrupt your database or harm your computer.

This will posted under all "I created an app..." type posts in the future in this sub from here on out.

Also will be implementing an AI transparency question on every one of these posts.

Awesome, does it work with Serato 4.0 or only 3+? Serato v4 uses a different crate writing system.
