How to Use Apple Music with PCDJ DEX 3

Q: "I am a DJ beginner. My friend recommends me to use PCDJ DEX 3 for DJ learning. I have searched much info about it but still puzzled about something. Where can I get the music resource for DJing? It seems that none of the streaming services work with it. I have been subscribing to Apple Music for a long time. So my question is - how can I mix Apple music with PCDJ DEX 3? The features in DEX 3 are fine and I don't want to give it up. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance."

Part 1. Import Apple Music to PCDJ DEX 3: Best Solution

Why can't mix Apple song with PCDJ DEX 3? If you are familiar with the streaming music service, you will think of it soon. Right, the copyright protection. Almost all streaming sites use it to prevent the songs from being pirated and distributed. And so does the Apple Music. The downloaded Apple tracks are all protected that you can't transfer them to DEX 3 or other unauthorized DJ software.

Well, you might think that this problem is easy to solve as long as you buy your favorite Apple songs. For the starters, you may only need a few tracks to practice DJing. That is not a big deal to pay the song directly. But if you want to promote the capability of DJing, it is inevitable to use multiple tracks to make more remixes. And buying Apple tracks is a huge expenditure without doubt by then.
