# Crate Digger

> Crate Digger parses rekordbox export databases and track-analysis files with Kaitai Struct definitions and generated Java classes. It also retrieves those files from the nonstandard NFSv2 servers in Pioneer players; its format documentation covers export.pdb, ANLZnnnn.DAT and ANLZnnnn.EXT.
