How to Import Spotify Music to DJ Player Pro (Tau) – Step-by-Step

Part 1. The "Pro" Confusion: djay vs. DJ Player (Tau)

First, we need to clear the air. There are two major iOS apps that often get mixed up because of their similar names, but their philosophy—and their Spotify status—are completely different.

Algoriddim's djay Pro: This is the mainstream giant. As of September 2025, Spotify Djay Pro integration has come back, but it relies heavily on a monthly subscription model.

DJ Player Pro (Now "Tau"): This is the app you are likely asking about. The developers (iMect) have rebranded DJ Player Pro to Tau. It is a "boutique" app loved by professionals because it rejects subscriptions (it's a one-time purchase) and focuses on raw performance, low latency, and DVS support on mobile.

Here is the catch: Because Tau focuses on stability and performance, it does not support direct music streaming. The developers prioritize local files to ensure your set never crashes due to a bad Wi-Fi connection.

Does this mean you can't use your Spotify music? Not at all. It just means we need a bridge to get those tracks out of the cloud and onto your device.

Part 2. Best Way to Play Spotiy in DJ Player Pro (Tau)

To play Spotify tracks in Tau, you need to turn them into local files (MP3, AAC, or WAV). This is actually a blessing in disguise.

Any touring DJ will tell you that relying on venue Wi-Fi to stream music is a recipe for disaster. By downloading your tracks, you ensure 100% stability. Since Spotify's internal "offline mode" files are encrypted and invisible to other apps, you need a specialized tool to unlock them.

This is where DRmare Spotify Music Converter becomes essential.

I've used various converters over the years, but DRmare stands out for DJs because it preserves ID3 tags. When you load a track into Tau, you need to see the Artist, Title, and Album Art clearly so the app can analyze the BPM and Key correctly. DRmare keeps all that data intact.

How to DJ with Spotify Music on DJ Player Pro (Tau)

Since Tau is designed to integrate deeply with the iOS "Files" app, the process is straightforward. We are going to convert your playlist on your computer, then move it to your device.

Phase 1: Preparing Your Library

Step 1Log in and Customize Settings

Launch DRmare Spotify Music Converter and log into your account using the built-in Spotify web player. Before choosing music, click the menu icon (top-right) and select "Preferences". Under the "Conversion" section, set your output format to MP3 or AAC to ensure compatibility with Tau.

Step 2Select and Add Tracks

Browse the web player for the playlists or albums you want to use in your set. Drag and drop your selection directly onto the green "Music" icon in the bottom-right corner. A confirmation window will appear; click "Add to list" to load the tracks into the converter.

Step 3Convert and Access Files

Click the "Convert" button under the "Converting" tab to start the batch process. Once the download is complete, navigate to the "Converted" tab to instantly locate your new offline files on your computer, ready to be transferred to your device.

Phase 2: Importing to Tau (DJ Player Pro)

Step 1. Now that you have the raw files, you need to get them into the Tau app. The easiest way to do this for an iOS DJ setup is via AirDrop (if you are on a Mac) or iCloud Drive.

• Create a folder in your iCloud Drive named "DJ Set 2025".
• Move your converted DRmare folder into it.

Step 2. Then open the Tau (DJ Player Pro) app on your iPad or iPhone and locate the Load button above either Deck A or Deck B. This will open the library browser.

Step 3. Select "Files" or "External Source" from the library options. Navigate to your iCloud Drive folder (or the "On My iPhone" folder if you AirDropped them) and select your converted Spotify tracks.

While it's exciting that Spotify is returning to the DJ world in 2025, apps like Tau (DJ Player Pro) are sticking to their guns by prioritizing professional stability over convenience.

By combining the vast discovery engine of Spotify with the conversion power of DRmare, you get the best of both worlds: the music you love, running on the most stable, crash-resistant software available.
