If you've ever tried to load your favorite Spotify tracks into DJUCED for a mixing session, you've probably hit a frustrating roadblock. With Spotify ending its integration with DJ apps, DJs and enthusiasts alike are finding that they can no longer stream or mix Spotify music directly in DJUCED. But don’t give up on your set just yet! While it’s true that Spotify doesn’t work directly with DJUCED anymore, there are clever workarounds to bring your Spotify tracks into the mix. This article will walk you through how to get your Spotify favorites ready to spin in DJUCED.
DJUCED is integrated with several streaming services, each requiring additional paid subscription for access.
Beatport: To stream Electronica music with DJUCED, you need to purchase either the Advanced Plan at £15.99/month or the Professional Plan at £29.99/month. These are the only plans that include DJ platform integrations.
Beatsource: You can choose between the Normal Plan at $12.99/month or the Beatsource Pro+ at $34.99/month, which includes exclusive DJ edits.
SoundCloud: Access is available through SoundCloud Go+ at £10.99/month.
Tidal: You need to add the DJ Extension for £9.00/month to your Tidal Individual plan, which costs £10.99/month.
Unlike integrated streaming services that require a paid subscription for access through DJUCED, Spotify is open-access and free to use. DJUCED only supports certain audio file formats - MP3, M4A (AAC), WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, and any songs that are access-controlled won’t work. This means that simply streaming from Spotify isn’t an option for mixing.
So all you need to do is to download Spotify songs and convert them to compatible audio files. This approach allows you to utilize the extensive Spotify catalog while still leveraging DJUCED’s features for your performances.
Sidify Music Converter is a computer software that allows you to download Spotify songs in formats compatible with DJUCED, such as MP3, AAC, WAV, and more. The best part is that the Spotify songs downloaded through Sidify are all free-to-use tracks, so you can easily import and use them in your DJUCED mixes.
Besides, Sidify Spotify Music Converter offers a 10x batch conversion speed, so you can convert multiple Spotify playlists simultaneously and save time. It maintains original 320kbps sound quality for Premium users and lets you keep and edit ID3 tags, as well as burn Spotify songs to CDs. If you're a Spotify free user, you can still use the program to download songs as regular audio files, with ads removed after the conversion process.
