Can You Use Virtual DJ with Apple Music? Yes!

Part 1. Can You Use Apple Music on Virtual DJ?

Virtual DJ is a powerful and widely-used DJ software that allows users to mix tracks, create live performances, and produce custom remixes from a variety of sources. While Virtual DJ supports several major streaming services, including DigiTrax, VJ-Pro, Tidal, Deezer, BeatSource, Beatport, and SoundCloud, it does not offer direct integration with Apple Music. That's to say, you can't directly play Apple Music on Virtual DJ.

Can You Add Apple Music Songs to Virtual DJ?

It's well-known that Virtual DJ supports adding local files from your device to its library for mixing only if they are encoded in MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, M4A, and AIFF. So can you import Apple Music to Virtual DJ? Unfortunately, Apple Music files are encrypted in M4P format with DRM, which prevents unauthorized copying or use outside the Apple ecosystem. This means you can't just drag and drop a downloaded Apple Music song into Virtual DJ.

The good news is that many third-party tools can remove DRM from Apple Music and convert Apple Music to MP3 or other formats supported by Virtual DJ. With their help, it's easy to get Apple Music on Virtual DJ for mixing.
