Spotify Rejoins the DJ Scene!

Big news for DJs everywhere! After a hiatus from third-party applications, Spotify Premium subscribers can once again log into Algoriddim's djay software on both Mac and Windows. This means you can seamlessly stream your favorite playlists and queue tracks directly from the djay app!

A Journey From Withdrawal to Reconnection

Back in 2020, Spotify made a surprising move by cutting off its integration with DJ apps, citing licensing hurdles. Many passionate DJs, including myself, felt the sting as we had to adapt our sets without Spotify's extensive music library. Thankfully, those problems seem to be in the past as Spotify has reintroduced its beloved service into the djay platform!

What Does This Mean for DJs?

Even if you're using the free version of djay, you can take advantage of this Spotify integration. However, if you're serious about your craft, consider the Pro subscription, which unlocks advanced features including hardware compatibility and special effects.

Exploring Alternatives During the Hiatus

During Spotify's absence, Algoriddim wasn't resting. They smartly partnered with Tidal, SoundCloud, and even added support for Apple Music, giving DJs plenty of options to keep the music flowing. If you adapted to those services in the meantime, you might be wondering what to do next!

The Future of DJing with Spotify and djay

While the current reinstatement of Spotify integration is wonderful news, there's no word yet on whether this feature will make its way to mobile applications. For now, desktop DJs can rejoice as they dive back into their creative mixes with all their favorite tracks at their fingertips!
