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

If you have been searching for "Spotify with DJ Player Pro", you might be staring at your iPad screen feeling a mix of confusion and frustration.

Here is the situation: In late 2025, the digital DJing world got a massive shake-up. Spotify finally returned to major platforms like Algoriddim's djay Pro and Serato, allowing direct streaming integration again. Naturally, you might expect every "Pro" app to follow suit.

But if you are a user of the robust, boutique app DJ Player Pro (which has recently evolved into Tau), you've likely noticed a glaring omission: there is no Spotify button.

I have been digging into the latest updates for iOS DJ software, and I'm here to clear up the confusion. Here is the truth about connecting your Spotify library to DJ Player Pro (Tau) and the most reliable way to make it happen.

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.

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.
