That’s what I like about DJ forums when the discussion of music usage comes up…. I like the variety … always a different brick wall to bash your head against, when someone with a different view to the facts, is told, the facts.
Historically, in the topics of music licensing PKtheDJ is our most factually accurate member. He’s always happy to back up his own words with cut and pastes directly from the streaming services very own small print.
The basic, but sometimes hard to swallow, facts are:
When a person, DJ or not, pays 79 cents for a track, or 3 bucks for a CD single (old skool , lol) or pays 15 bucks a month for a streaming service with zillions of tracks available, that one-off or monthly payment does not mean the purchaser owns every right to do every action with that song - usually we’re buying the right to do nothing more than listen to a track with our own ears in a private situation, like at home or on headphones/earbuds on a bus or train etc
Then again, no-one ever said DJing should be or would be cheap, free, or profitable (mind you, if it’s not profitable, put your prices up)

There **are** services available though, that are intended for professional use, and licensed for use by DJs, radio stations, broadcast, retail, hospitality etc.
The deal there is that it’s **NOT** for personal use.

That quote was from May 2021 🙂
Now here we are in 2024 and Algoriddim have integrated Apple Music into their DJay Pro software. Maybe not top dog yet though, because although the _software_ is cross platform, features are not, and controller support is not.

Not anymore. Apple Music Streaming Library is now available to DJay Pro AI. And works wonderfully.

Yes, as I wrote in the post immediately above yours, in early February. The post you’re responding to is nearly three years old.

I wish some online website of samples packs had a subscriptions for djs to enable these cloud samples for build-in sampler. Especially for Pioneer sampler device it would be more flexible and better to use that cloud samples service instead buying everything to usb pendrive

It would be possible to use any OS device or mobile to connect output aux to your mixer in order to hear tracks from Spotify app or website but you need at least 2 separated Spotify account to play 2 different tracks at this time. The problem is you don’t have BPM detection, specific key and displayed waveforms of it, so yeah it’s not easy to integrite Spotify

It might well be possible but it’s not something any respectable DJ should be doing. They removed themselves from that market because they (or their providers) didn’t want their service used by DJs.

If You use Akai force or MPC, You can use Splice - cloud based sample library. It is of course with a subscription plan.

I’m looking more into Deezer as a Virtual DJ user, I like the way Deezer is integrated to the program. If VDJ can do it I believe Denon can do it

Any updates on adding this streaming service?

I’m thinking now that Apple Music joined this section of the market, there is a chance others like Deezer and even Spotify might consider joining. (Just like how everybody was making phones with noches a few years ago after iPhone X launched)

Deezer already has a connection to dj software. Spotify, moved away from dj market in 2020.

From my understanding the APIs are only offered to partners so the integration is bases on collaboration from both sides. And Spotify exited the market right before the concept of streaming services for djs started gaining a lot of traction. I know a lot of beginner djs who are actually subscribed to streaming services to use them to dj. This wasn’t the case 5 years ago when beginners were just ripping from YouTube 💀. I feel like there is a chance for a comeback

That is completely up to Spotify management. If they see the value in that, they will do it. if they don’t see any value in this, there will be no spotify dj.

According to the tinterweb.
“Spotify has over 675 million users, including 263 million premium subscribers.”
Do they really need to be worrying about a few thousand DJs? They will have removed themselves for a reason and im not sure its a big enough market for them to care about coming back in.

But then why did Apple did it? Why does Apple care about a few thousand DJs?

So i had a think about this earlier, and i think the answer is all down to Djay Pro.
The guy who owns Algoriddim used to work for Apple so has a close relationship with them, and i think this move to integrating the VR side of things was what prompted Apple to allow Apple Music streaming.
I think that move alone was what led them into the rest of the DJ space.

> It would be great if you can include Apple Music, Spotify, etc… Adding more streaming services broadens the scope of the users experience. I currently have a student subscription to Apple Music which is incredibly cheaper than Tidal, and having multiple music subscriptions just isn’t ideal. How about inquiring about joint ventures? Opening up the market for more flexibility as it will entice new clients to purchase the device for its flexibility. As myself, I’m sure there are users that are not interested in using Tidal or the current services added, for whatever reasoning, be it financial, or technical. It would be great for marketing and expanding the reach of what this dope hardware can already do!
Totally agree with this points and adding the services like Apple Music or Spotify would make the experience way better for users. Similarly, if someone wants to create a video streaming app, platforms like VPlayed make it easier to integrate multiple content sources, manage subscriptions, and offer flexibility. Giving users more options like this can really help attract new clients and keep existing ones engaged.

Apple Music is included, Spotify removed themselves from the DJ space, so it’s probably best to take that up with them and not the people here who have no control over it.
