The new owners of the three popular DJ softwares will discontinue all DJ software, and aims to replace all DJ sets with curated, automixed Spotify playlists by early 2020.

1. Launch the AudFree Spotify Music Converter, and then the Spotify app will open automatically at the same time. Find the Spotify track/album/playlist that you wish to play on Rekordbox, and directly drag them into the AudFree software.
2. Add Spotify Songs to rekordbox from iTunes. Launch the rekordbox program on your computer and click the iTunes icon on the left sidebar. Then you will browse Spotify songs or playlists you import to iTunes (before that, you first need to move Spotify songs or playlists to iTunes library).

Say Goodbye To DJ Software

In a surprise move, the corporation behind the largest online streaming music platform has made a strong move to eliminate the tools that hundreds of thousands of DJs use to perform.

Hello, Does anyone have a real solution to the fact that spotify doesn't play ANYTHING (neither local nor remote songs). I have tried various solutions found on Spotify Community: - Uninstall / reinstall Spotify and Update flash play - Update Quicktime - Unlick the local files in prefer. Although there is no Rekordbox Spotify integration, you can still try another way to do it. In this article, I am going to introduce a workable way to connect Spotify to Rekordbox. We will use a smart Spotify to Rekordbox converter to download Spotify music as Rekordbox compatible local tracks. After that, it's able to import Spotify playlist.

Announced early on the first of April at Spotify’s headquarters in Stockholm, the NYSE-listed company outright purchased three big DJ softwares from their corporate holders. Pioneer DJ sold to streaming giant the entire Rekordbox preparation and performance platform as well as the complete hardware division; Serato handed over Serato DJ Pro and Intro; and Native Instruments sold their complete Traktor division.

All three companies have made significant investment in in music production – and will expand their offerings in production software. An employee at Native Instruments remarked off the record to DJTT: “We always joked around the office that DJs who don’t produce couldn’t ever be successful – now nothing could be more true!” As a part of the deal, any tracks produced using Serato Studio, Komplete/Maschine, or a Toraiz device will get priority in Spotify’s recommendation engine.

DJ Software To Self-Delete

The deal between Spotify and each of the DJ software companies has been coming from some time. Surprisingly, if any of us read the long legal EULAs that pop up when installing any DJ software, we’d know that at any time the companies reserved the right to hit a remote “self-deletion” switch to delete the apps from DJs’ computers. The next update to each software will trigger the deletion – so for Serato DJ, next month; for Rekordbox, later this year; and for Traktor, sometime in the next two to four years.

We’re still not sure what will happen to DJ song libraries, but we have heard rumors that Apple Music and Algoriddim are in similar talks – so if your entire library is “safe” in iTunes, think again.

Vinyl-Only DJs Rejoice

There’s one group of DJs who aren’t worried: turntable-loving record collectors. After DJ software fades away, only these “real DJs” will remain, and you can expect to never hear the end of it from them.

April Fools, obviously.
Your DJ software won’t be deleting itself, no one bought Serato/Traktor/Rekordbox, and all of your DJ sets will (probably) not be replaced by Spotify playlists.

Spotify is one of the best ways to listen to music, and now it has a DJ mode which lets you play songs at a venue or anywhere for that matter.
