import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import sys

print('converting ' + sys.argv[1])

tree = ET.parse(sys.argv[1])
root = tree.getroot()

for track in root.findall('./COLLECTION/TRACK'):
    for position in track.findall('POSITION_MARK'):
        child = ET.Element('POSITION_MARK')
        child.set('Name', '')
        child.set('Type', '0')
        child.set('Num', '-1')

tree.write('output.xml')

Exporting collection to XML:

in Rekordbox select File and then Export Collection in xml format.

Importing output.xml back into Rekordbox:

In Rekordbox, choose Preferences, Advanced and then Database.
Click on the Browse button, find output.xml and click open
Then choose Preferences, View, and then check the box next to rekordbox xml in the languages section.
Notice that rekordbox xml has appeared in your browser window, click that and then ♫ All Tracks.
Highlight the track or tracks that you want to import and right click and select Import to Collection.

fixed some bugs and moved this to https://github.com/diracdeltas/rekordbox-scripts

Thanks alot for this tool! Saved me hours of work :)

Thanks for this. I had a specific use-case where thousands of tracks had a single hot cue around the first beat of the track that I wanted to convert to memory cues and used your program as a base. Posting this here in case anyone has a similar problem.

# usage: python3 1hot2memory.py $RB_XML_INPUT $RB_XML_OUTPUT

# Finds all tracks in rekordbox.xml with a single hot cue named '1.1Bars', and converts it to a memory cue.
