How to Mix on Apple Music with Mixvibes Cross DJ

Part 1. Why Apple Music Tracks Don't Work in Mixvibes Cross DJ?

It's frustrating when you try to load your favorite songs from Apple Music into your DJ software only to be met with an error. This isn't a fault with Mixvibes Cross DJ, nor is it a simple file incompatibility issue. Here are the key reasons leading to such an issue:

• DRM Protection: Subscription-based music from Apple Music (even tracks you have downloaded for offline listening) is protected by DRM and stored in M4P format. It prevents files from being used in applications other than the one it is licensed (the Apple Music/iTunes app).
• Cross DJ Compatibility: Mixvibes Cross DJ doesn't integrate with the Apple Music service directly, and it cannot read DRM-protected files. It only works with music files that are locally stored and encoded in MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC, and FLAC.

Part 2. How to Add Apple Music to Mixvibes Cross DJ: What You Need

As what is mentioned above, you can't add the downloaded Apple music files to Mixvibes Cross DJ directly. However, purchasing individual tracks for DJing is often too expensive. The professional workaround is to convert the Apple Music tracks into unprotected audio formats (like MP3, FLAC, or WAV) that Cross DJ can recognize.

DRmare Apple Music Converter is an excellent tool for this task. This specialized software is engineered to unlock protection and convert your Apple Music files into MP3, AIFF, FLAC, and WAV at an ultra-fast 30X conversion speed. Crucially, it ensures 100% original audio quality is maintained and preserves all vital metadata, such as ID3 tags, titles, albums, and album art, for seamless integration into your Cross DJ collection.
