How to Add Spotify Music to Final Cut Pro [Updated]

Part 1. Why You Can't Add Music to Final Cut Pro from Spotify Directly?

To understand why you can't import music from Spotify into Final Cut Pro, we need to look at how Spotify protects its content. Every track on the Spotify service is encrypted with Digital Rights Management (DRM). This protection prevents you from using the audio files outside of the Spotify app, a restriction that applies even to Spotify Premium subscribers.

Furthermore, Spotify streams its music in a special Ogg Vorbis format. While Final Cut Pro is versatile, supporting audio formats like MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF, the protected Ogg Vorbis format is not on its list of compatible file types.

So, to use Spotify music in Final Cut Pro, you must overcome both of these hurdles. Fortunately, a professional Spotify music converter, like DRmare Spotify Music Converter, can easily download and convert Spotify music to Final Cut Pro-compatible audio files without protection.

Platform	Supported Audio Format
Final Cut Pro	MP3, WAV, AIFF, and AAC
