How to Connect Spotify to Virtual DJ [2023 Latest]

Part 1. Does Virtual DJ Work with Spotify

On the one hand, Spotify is not among the streaming music service options that Virtual DJ is compatible with. On the other hand, Virtual DJ supports common audio formats such as MP3, WMA, OGG and WAV. Spotify music, instead, is encoded in a special Vorbis OGG format with digital rights technology.

Thus, even if you download Spotify songs, they are all cached files that Virtual DJ does not recognize. That's why we can't upload Spotify tracks to Virtual DJ 8 in the same way as we can sync local files. Overall, to import Spotify into Virtual DJ app, the crucial task is to solve the problem of format locking.
