How To DJ With Spotify (Djay 2 / Pro, iOS, Windows, Mac...)

- ⚡FYI: Spotify is no longer supported in any DJ software ⚡
Are you a complete beginner, who's thought about giving DJing a go, but been put off as soon as you realised you couldn't just hook your Spotify music collection up to whatever DJ software or gear you've got? That you had to use iTunes and a local library instead?
Maybe you feel like you have what it takes to DJ, but you've never paid much attention to track titles, artist, record labels and so on - but you sure know where to find some killer Spotify playlists you'd like to DJ with!
Or maybe you're just tired of people playing lame CZcams videos through Bluetooth speakers at parties, and are desperate to have a go at DJing instead, figuring Spotify must surely be the way forward?
If so, watch on - in this extended "tips and tricks" tutorial, I'll show you how to get started with just your Spotify subscription, an iPad (or Android tablet, or even smartphone), a great value DJ app called djay (djay 2, djay Pro), and whatever speaker or speakers you've got knocking around.
We'll start by learning some basic transitions, and once we have, we'll move on to more advanced stuff: Plugging in better speakers, plugging in headphones, and how to "pre-listen" to tracks, just like real DJs do. You'll be rocking your next party before you know it!
It works on iOS (iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone), Windows, Android or macOS.
LOOK! A FREE BOOK AND EXTRA TRAINING VIDEOS FOR YOU:
Of course as we're the world's biggest online DJ school, we can teach you so much more!
Plus, in a short CZcams video I really can't show you anything more than how to simply get started.
So I want you to have a copy of my Amazon bestselling book on DJing, for free.
It's got everything in it you need to get ready for playing in "real" venues (and yes, you can do that with a setup like this...).
Not only that, but it contains links to five exclusive EXTRA videos explaining more advanced mixing techniques - so when you do land those "real" gigs, you'll have some skills to show off!

GOD DAMMIT
Aw man...I got real excited for a minute. Well thanks for the heads up.
This video should be taken down, then, it gives misleading information that may lead people to make unwise financial decisions.
I can finally DJ in the car!
Not while driving I hope!
😂 😂 😂
hahaaha
What a brilliant no nonsense video...and you have a very inclusive attitude towards beginners. Not like some . Well done 👏
Glad you enjoyed this Billy.
Omg I remember watching this channel yeeeeaaars ago to learn how to do on a free software called virtual DJ. I’m so happy ur still around and still sharing the craft. Tech has gone leaps and bounds! Brilliant mate!
Welcome back, kis4ketchup!
So I did a gig with DJay Pro 2 Friday night leaving Serato off for first time. In thought it went great, my Itunes BPM Supreme library is local so only online for Spotify tracks, worked flawlessly. I mapped my controller myself as its yet mapped for plug n play. Play with video features guys, it's pretty incredible.
That's fantastic, glad you had a good gig!
You didn’t have issues with WiFi ?
How . did you deal with WIFI?
chadnliz2k11 is there any way to use rime codes vinyl w this?
Amazing way to get people trying out DJing! Great video Phil
Thanks Timmy
U the real expert, made it all practical.
THIS!!! You just gave me a solution to be able to throw underground mini raves anywhere in the city! I have a Sounboks 2 that just came in the mail and am going to get the denon prime go but this is another great solution in the meantime! You just helped the Toronto underground scene in a way you don't even realize! Thanks!
Glad to help!
I new about the Spotify integration for a while, but I never thought to try it out. I activated premium on my account about 5 days ago. That is one service I won't regret paying for. being able to have access to any track I want immediately when I'm in the mix is indispensable. As a completely blind dj using Djay pro, the way I would use headphones during a live event is I would have Voiceover, Apple's build in screen reader in the headphones so that any audience I have wouldn't hear it, while having the output from Djay pro coming through the main speakers.
It's absolutely solid :)
Fabulous Friday evening fun. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Roger
Watching your video after a very long time, I remember you had some really great tips that have helped me in the past. This video too was of great help, thanks and God Bless you and your family always! 🙂🙏
No problem, glad we could help!
Good tutorial, it was clear and concise. I will be picking up your book. Thank you!!
Glad to help :)
So awesome! Thanks for the tips!
No problem!
Fab tutorial, I have learnt couple of tips from you. Thanks and thumbs up!
Glad it helped. What did you particularly take away from the video?
Man! Bravo for the guide!!
No problem!
DJay Pro is now available on Mac. Giving it a whirl now, 15 day free trial.
Did it work okay?
Yeah it works fine Megan!
Great tutorial! Thank You!
Hi.can you make video about how can i transfer my records from dj pro to my laptop
Thanks for the suggestion
Brilliant, not my kind of thing as I buy all my music, but awesome to know it's possible :)
hi, is there any button or way to do a loop, like shift in/out on reckordbox dj, that control the density of loop by moving the jog wheel? thankyou!
can I use djay pro on my equipment?
Van you uwe a Bluetooth headset to pre listen and the jack for the party speakers?
great video. Thank you. I had a question about Djay 2. The mixed songs are they filed in various lists? can we create such lists with Djay 2 within Spotify?
No, there is no history of played songs in Spotify I don't think.
where did you get that ipad stand
I'd be interested to see how we can take advantage of today's technology but using Bluetooth speakers/headphones. I'm able to connect multiple devices to my Android tablet with a couple millisecond delay between the two but for purpose of listening to one track and playing the other live, this should work.
Right now we don't recommend bluetooth connections for DJing but who knows what the future will bring
Nice bro nice !
Very cool. I've never DJed with Spotify yet, but I have a lot of playlists there, so I hope this will be supported in Traktor asap.
Unfortunately that's unlikely MC
@@digitaldjtips Yes. I understand it's a final frontier kinda thing. People will stop collecting files and what not. So how do Spotify decide who they'll work with or not. The smaller and less pro the DJ software is, the more accaptable for Spotify?
Nobody but Spotify could tell you that
@@digitaldjtips Yes. Always interesting to see the evolution. That's for sure. :)
Thanks for the video, I have your book now. I have one question, can the software allow you to split the output, one via Bluetooth and wired thought the headphones socket?
Algoriddim's djay software does, yes.
Djaying on Zoom from laptop, using Djay Pro, how do you get Pre only in headphones & the current track only on computer - Zoom audio. I can currently only get headphones playing Pre in one ear & current track in other. Thank-you
Where do i get that ipad stand you did not mention where to get that handy peace i need that for my set up thx phil great tutorial again your awesome
No idea I'm afraid, it was a long time ago now! Also remember that Spotify no longer works in any DJ software.
hi, this is a good way to mix. i'm interested in that app, but i can't find it. do you have a link or something to download it? thanks a lot
www.algoriddim.com/ :)
Hey great video it inspired me! Quick question, so I own a lounge and I'm looking for a way to do this wirelessly. Imagine how cool it would be if I can dj from table to table walking around the lounge. What gadgets can I connect to this to to make it work. Yes I'm willing to wear a battery pack to power any external gadgets. Any of your I put is appreciated!!
The problem with anything wireless is it introduces too much latency to DJ with
Just get a $100 dj per night
Whats the best app to use if I want to use Spotify and mix like i do in Mixmeister ? Love making mixes but over a few weeks...
There is nothing I can think of that will let you do this.
Djay Pro. It let’s you sync all Spotify, but i don’t think it’ll let you record since it comes from Spotify.
The future of DJing! Unbelievable! Great video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Akinhunmi.
is there no way that you can use aux headphone output for monitor and bluetooth for main output? sounds obvious? interested in windows version
How can you record, save and share your mixes???
You can't record mixes made with streaming services, unfortunately.
Glad you enjoyed it! No, you can't record your sets from streaming services.
Does this still work in 2023? I’m now subscribed How can I get this book that I imagine is amazing for Free to get started I’m insanely on a tight budget fixed income monthly?
I am (was) a big fan of the Algoriddim software. I use the Djay 2 but would gladly use the pro version. However, I use it in the iDjay pro controller so I’m not sure it works with that.
I too thought I was playing my downloaded Spotify songs due to never having a play back issue in the past. However, the soft ware has become very unreliable over the past month and of course I learned that it’s from the Spotify connection. I always run on my cellular signal and it use to work fine. I mean for 3 plus years. Music just stops playing at random and this has happened numerous times at 3 different shows
Algoriddim apologizes and each time says it has a fix.
Time to join the Serato world.
Need a good music pool service for just basic party and wedding DJaying where I can download to my Mac but also stream request.
Any suggestions?
Again, I loved the Algoriddim app and I hope they resolve the issues soon.
George, I am with you at the mo with this one. I too have had zero problems over the past couple of years. No dropouts or tracks stopping suddenly until the last couple of gigs (Embarrassing at one as it was a wedding couples 1st dance) Has to be a problem with the last update. I use a 'mi-fi' which has never let me down for a signal. I rely so much on spotify as my music supply and can't afford to by stacks on itunes. i thought of loading tunes on to an external drive but that will take forever and a day to organise. I also love the 'beatmatch' part of DJ Pro too. Hope some sort of 'update fix' comes along very soon.
I use to not have the freeze/drop out problem with that same set up until I updated the app then it started and hasn't stopped... I hate updates on anything and usually never do them especially when everything is working fine. Regretting...
@@markfaulkes9243 Hi quick question- why not just create a mobile hotspot through your phone? Why use my-fi when that option exists? I'm new to this and trying to understand. Thanks!
By "run your cellular signal" do you mean you setup a hotspot in your phone? Thanks!
Is it possible to split audio using bluetooth headphones-speakers or something similar?
No you don't want to use bluetooth for DJing
Pls how can I get dj drop
Radio drop on dj name's
Like dj blaze
You can buy from musicradiocreative.com/
is there one I can purchase once rather than subscription?
Or free?
the only thing they dont say is ...u need internet to use this with spotify .....u cant use offline mode and play ur downloaded songs.....so u cant use this out on a gig unless they have a strong wifi or internet signal for you to use
Yeah you're right, we didn't say that - we assumed everyone would have guessed! Once you start gigging out, you really need to start collecting your own tunes too for exactly that reason (among many). Thanks for raising the points!
Exactly and a very good and stable wifi connection/router... Alone at home that 'll work. But in venues...don't go that route.
I dj-ed dancenights in two different locations, using the venue's wifi. At the first venue I asked for a different channel than the public wifi, and it worked flawlessly. At the second I used the public wifi channel, and boy, did I regret that! The connection dropped out, got too slow and the music stopped several times... disastrous... I've also tried using my 4G phone with thethering, but the connection too was not fast and stable enough. Never work that way again. It's not worth the risk, the worries and getting a bad reputation..
I also learned that lesson the hard way . The whole time I was using this system I thought I was using my downloaded songs . I don’t understand why that is not an option. There has got to be a way around that or some kind of hack . I’m going to keep researching and will return to this thread if I find a solution
Turn "Mobile Hotspot" ON on your cell phone. Boom, wifi.
So basically stuffed without Wi-Fi 🙄
You can also buy a controler and buy djay on you computer. And then dj :-)
And indeed you should! If you decide this game is for you....
Where do you buy that little stand please
Check out the tablet stand from Reloop
I can’t find it on AppStore
I couldn’t find it on google store
they stopped working with Spotify, the function is now gone and has been updated. a lot of people are very sad and angry they did that. that's why I didn't update my version. it's still working.
@@WOODNOX Oh noooo! Are there any other DJ apps that would work with Spotify?
Very very interesting, but the controller is the best way to go and this could be a back up plan B if something goes wrong.
How do u sign out of Spotify?
Would love to know what your setup is here to grab the audio from the iPad and your mic to your video? Mind sharing? Been searching the internet all day. Lol.
We use a small audio interface. You could look at the iRig Studio, Roland Go: Mixer, or Behringer UC222.
@@digitaldjtips thanks so much. I saw the answer in your setup video. Purchased the irig stream.
Is there a way to play the music without having to pay for any of the streaming softwares? I have no money..
You can play local music if you have any
Digital DJ Tips Ok I’ll see what I can do. Thanks!
I Like it
Would it work with wireless headphones
Wireless headphones have too much latency for DJing, for casual use they're fine but we haven't tried them with this setup
How do I get the settings, I can’t find it?
Hi Phil, great video. I’ve been messing around with Djay all day (I’m not a professional DJ, I just want to do it as a hobby). But it has just come to my attention that you cannot save or export your mixes if you used Spotify. Do you know if there are any loopholes to this and I can use a USB or something to get it on to my laptop or is it illegal to do so if Djay doesn’t have a Spotify license? Because I’ve made some pretty sick mashups today, if I do say so myself, and it would be so annoying if there was no way to save them to my phone/laptop. I also need to find out if the songs I’m using are copyrighted because I want to post my mashups onto CZcams if possible. Oh and are there any specific gadgets I should invest in for what I’m trying to do? Sorry for the long question I’m just really baffled by this 😂
You're right that it's down to licensing Sophie (why you can't record), the songs will be copyrighted and it's likely your mixes will get taken down if you try to upload them - sounds like you're enjoying it a lot maybe you're ready to progress onto some more "pro" gear and get your mixes out there :)
Are the cue points reliable enough to mix with?
Yes
how to display the key and bpm information in the spotify song picker?
Please make sure you switch to high quality streaming in your djay settings!! Also, do yourself a huge favor and cop a Pioneer WeGO 3 or 4 and you’ll be good to go for real. I played many gigs in a successful college bar with that setup alone.
Good advice Tuck3r. Definitely the next steps for those who get the bug.
Digital DJ Tips You’re right, I always want to skip steps... This video does a great job of starting people on a good foundation!
Cheers!
Would this work with Soundcloud Go? I'm aware Spotify have pulled the plug and I moved my playlists onto there
Yes it will
I have the Djay2 on my Lenovo tablet. Its great, but there´s one thing missing and that is the headphone button next to the crossfader.
Do you know how to add/fix that so I can listen to songs on the headphones while there´s other song playing in the speakers.
Hope someone can help :)
Have you got it set up that way? You'd need to plug a DJ splitter cable (sometimes called a mono splitter cable) into your iPad, and plug your speakers into one of its outputs and your headphones into the other. Then, there's a setting in the software to activate the feature.
@@digitaldjtips I bought a splitter & my settings is not like yours .I'm on an android device. I cant seem to get the music I want to play & the music playing separated
No wifi no party 😂😂
True (or 4G)
Hey there, In this video you guys are saying 20$ but in internet says 55€ or something like this... what is the price exactly and where should I get it then please..???
Thank you
It depends on what state and country you are.
Sounds like a great idea. However I'd rather not use a tablet. Can this be done on a laptop and a hardware controller?
It can - you can use Mac (or PC) and several controllers are compatible out of the box - check the Algoriddim website for the list.
Can you dj on spotify on a laptop
Spotify won't be available in any DJ software from 1st of June so best to choose something else
Is it possible to do without any kind of tablet?
Traktor needs this feature of turntable stop speed. It’s been over 10 years and they don’t have this feature
That's true. All DJ software has things a bit different to the others, though...
Digital DJ Tips I think Traktor needs this. I wanted to DJ because of this simple feature. Even Virtual DJ has this feature. C’mon
Let's see if they add it...
Important Note: As of July 1, 2020, Spotify will no longer be playable through 3rd party DJ apps. You’ll still be able to use Spotify in djay until the end of June 2020.
Yep, sad news!
BON music Why!? :(
Anyone know of any other streaming apps that would be compatible?
Soundcloud go and Beatport Link
Digital DJ Tips that’s great and is there an app or something that would allow you to transport your whole Spotify library over the soundcloud or beat port?
Hi. Can i have an stereo output for master and for headphones monitor to? The splitter make a mono from stereo. Have you any idea?
No, not without buying an external audio interface.
what's that split wire you were using
Hi Tade, it's a Griffin DJ Cable, sections starts at 8:07
THANKS
@@digitaldjtips
Hey what kind of stand are you using for the ipad??
It's made by Reloop
I’ve been doing this for years with a Numark iDJ Pro controller.
Dave Barousse where you using a iPad with that?
Dave Barousse I need time coded vinyl using this app next month. Would this unmarked controller allow me to do so. Or something like it?
can i use this to pre record a a radio show i do on the internet?
No, Djay no longer has Spotify access
What about a laptop and on serato or virtual dj?
What about it?
How do I connect the app to my sportify account, it doesn’t show on the drop down menu
Spotify is no longer supported by an DJ software
Can you use a laptop???
For Djay yes you can, note that Spotify is no longer available in any DJ software though
Have the freeze bug been worked out of djay2 for iPad 2 I use iDJ Pro controller with that combo and was wondering?.....
not sure TBH.
I dont see a dj pro 2 for windows is there something else i can use?
Not Pro 2 but the Windows version is here: www.algoriddim.com/djay-pro-windows
I think you should let folks know that spotify no longer supports djay pro
Yep it sure doesn't
Dude for real!! They need to update this post
is it possiblo to play also tracks that are not officialy on spotify but that i downoloaded from you t. and that i inserted on my spot plaulists?
You can play local tracks as well so you should be able to, don't use CZcams rips though if you can avoid it - pay for the music you like and support the artists who make it :)
@@digitaldjtips -99% of my spotify playlists is composed with legal stuff ( i'm a musician producer too and i'm on spotify too) but i only downoladed few seminal tracks that i couldn't find on official spotiyf
I have the android version of the software, but there are too many reviews siting inferior functionality compared to the iOS or Mac version. Has Algoriddim ever answered any of the complaints about the android & Windows versions?
I know they take development across all platforms seriously, so I'd just keep an eye on the releases and updates.
Everything is great and all but... how does this stand with Spotify user license? I mean, I know this can be technically done but is it actually "legal"? Any idea how this works in this regard? Big thanks for any answers :)
It is often technically not legal to DJ from Spotify in public. Many people do.
I can’t find this app Djay pro on App Store for iPad. Is there another one I can download?
It should definitely be there, search for Algoriddim instead maybe :)
It’s no longer available with Spotify
No unfortunately not
Totally off subject but need help here..please
I have a question and I have Asked All The DJ’s I know (6) and even Tweeted Serato & Pioneer,
I have the SX2, but this is a Serato Question,
I know about midi mapping BUT, I like to have my echo effect using 2 other effects, the shorter delay and I can’t Remember The other lol, anyways,
Is there anyway to midi map all three effects as a preset on a button. Knob or pad..
I have to always keep going in and setting it up again manually everytime I start a mix, scratch or set..
PLEASE HELP..
It’s the only thing I can’t get right..
Cheers
Dave aka Xpressive D’
I have ABSOLUTELY no idea if this might work, but if you're using Mac you could take a look at the Automator utility supplied with macOS.
I would like more tutorials, teach-to's using Pioneer Wego 3 and Day Pro. Please.
Can u make a video of how to only hear music while recording with a phone
What do you mean exactly?
Yes! If I don’t have a song that someone has requested and I use Spotify to get the song, is that illegal?
Depends where you are in the world as to what they law is and how it is interpreted/applied. We see countless DJs using Spotify for those "difficult" requests, though.
Digital DJ Tips Thank you!
DDJT are correct, but in short: Usually not
Subscribed but not sure where to get digital download?
What do you mean Jacqui? :)
@@digitaldjtips Oh. I pressed the subscribe button and I expected something to happen. Like a popup with a link where I could download the book advertised at the end of the video above. But I found it under 'SHOW MORE" above. All taken care of.
Ah cool yes the subscribe button here is just for CZcams :)
another q. i have an old mac , 10.11.6 do you think it's ok for a recent version of djay?
Check their website, it should tell you :)
@@digitaldjtips - i shiuld be ok , i get the demo and it works fine, i'd like to buy it
@@digitaldjtips -mau i ask u also, o,ce that i jave dyay in my mac, can i easily transferi it ina laptop?
I have this APP, the main flaw, which you failed to mention, is you require an internet connection for this to all work. Many a time my screen has frozen, every thing stopped while entertaining a group of people. I emailed the developer of the APP who could not solve the issue. Regards.
Sorry we didn't mention this, see the comment thread below for previous discussion on this point - Thanks :)
Is there anyway to amplify the signal coming from the headphone jack before going in to a mixer ?
You can turn the output up in the software, using the master volume control. Is that not loud enough?
Digital DJ Tips if you run that into a mixer it gives a very low signal so I need some sort of amplification before it goes into the mixer
Maybe there''s a volume somewhere in the software you have low, as it should be fine direct into a mixer.
Hi, I just learnt that we will not be able to use Spotify for Dj on ipad after 1st July, 2020. Can you help me with that?
That's correct, if you want to use streaming services you'll most likely want to move to Tidal
@@digitaldjtips what is Tidal? I just discovered your video and have loved this being able to use with my Spotify on my note. I was looking at a ddj-400 because of compatibility with Spotify. Is that not the case now?
Tidal is a streaming service like Spotify, Spotify is being removed from all DJ software in the next few weeks
@@digitaldjtips What about Soundcloud go+?
Nothing is changing with Soundcloud
Hello Friend, how about the DRM protection? won't work on Spotify?
No you're fine to DJ with Spotify tunes this way :)
🙋🏽♂️🎶🔥
I wondered if I can use a window laptop but I’m not sure if there’s a app for djing for a window laptop....very confused
Definitely, most DJ software also works on Windows :)
The only problem with Spotify is all hip hop are dirty is hard to find clean version
That's a fair point :)
While I agree Spotify is limited in clean tracks there are plenty to be found but it takes digging. The trick is search full song title (dont select the track based on predictive text). Then scroll till you likely find a clean one buried in list. Also to be lazy just type "edited pop" or whatever genre and maybe add year some searches, you'll find some playlists with hundreds of edited tracks already found by others. While you cant find every track you need I have found several hundred so I plenty of options.
Can you use this with Spotify still?
No you can't unfortunately
@@digitaldjtips I’m thinking of switching to SoundCloud Premium instead of Spotify for this reason.
Hello dears, Can you please confirm with me the real price?? Thank you.
I got Algorithm Djay djay pro al and tridal and it dosent work?? why??
I'm afraid I can't answer that (especially without knowing what exactly doesn't work) - you can try reaching out to Algoriddim or come join our Global DJ Network and post a video showing your issue: djtips.co/family :)
Can I use the software with a MacBook instead of an iPad? And is it advisable to do so if I could?? Thank you!
Djay definitely works on Mac as well, just as a side note though Spotify will not be useable in any DJ software soon if that's why you're thinking of giving it a go
Digital DJ Tips why won’t Spotify work anymore if I may ask and will DJ pro support music iTunes tho?
Spotify have decided to remove themselves from it, it won't support Apple Music streaming if that's what you're asking, regular tracks bought from iTunes are fine - Tidal is probably your best bet if you want to stream with Djay with a catalogue similar to Spotify
Digital DJ Tips ok thanks
Link to download the Djay Pro please...

Can I save the mix that I create?
Like I just let the music the wohle day without remix the musics together all time
I hope you understood me 😫
Hi :) Do you mean can you automix tunes and have a recording of it?
