How to Add Apple Music to Virtual DJ

By Adam Gorden Updated on August 9, 2024
Which virtual DJ software can play Apple Music? I am a subscriber to Apple Music and have a lot of music on my iPhone, but I can only play music I purchased not the music in my library which I just downloaded.

- User from Quora

Virtual DJ, short for VDJ, is a music mixer software DJs use to remix songs and create something cool. Virtual DJ is the best choice for most of the DJs, for it has maintained the champion among all DJ software for the past 20 years, with no other competitor comes close. Apple Music has a abundant resource of songs so many VDJ users asking if they can add Apple Music to Virtual DJ to mix. The answer will be no but yes.

Part 1. How to Import Apple Music to Virtual DJ

You open Virtual DJ, excited to mix those tracks you've got on Apple Music, but then - disappointment hits. Even though you can access the iTunes or Music option, you can't access your Apple Music anywhere in Virtual DJ. Why? Because Apple Music tracks are protected by something called DRM, or Digital Rights Management. This protection is designed to keep the music you stream from being used outside of the Apple ecosystem. Essentially, it means you can't just take a track from Apple Music and use it in Virtual DJ like you would with a regular MP3 file. Virtual DJ only supports music streaming services like Tidal, Deezer, and SoundCloud. It also allows you to use your own purchased or downloaded tracks, but when it comes to Apple Music, that's where the problem lies.

Key Supportive Formats:

  • Apple Music Downloads: M4P (protected)
  • iTunes Purchases: AAC (unprotected)
  • Virtual DJ Supported Formats: MP3, WAV, CDA, WMA, ASF, OGG, M4A, AAC, AIF, FLAC, MPC, APE, AIFF, OMG
  • ViWizard Output Formats: MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, AAC, FLAC

You might be wondering, "So, what now? How can I use my favorite Apple Music tracks in Virtual DJ?" Well, ViWizard Apple Music Converter is your key to unlocking those Apple Music tracks and making them compatible with Virtual DJ. ViWizard Apple Music Converter removes the DRM protection from your Apple Music tracks and converts them into formats that Virtual DJ supports, like MP3, WAV, or AAC. This tool not only removes the DRM protection but also retains the lossless audio and all the original ID3 tags, so your music sounds great and is fully organized. You can even customize the output settings, including sample rate and bitrate, to suit your DJing needs.

First, download ViWizard from the above link and please confirm that Apple Music works well in your computer. Before started, you need to make sure the Apple Music songs you are going to convert could play well on your computer. Otherwise please authorize to play those audios in advance. Launch ViWizard and Apple Music both and you will find three icons on the central top of the converter.

2) This icon is to import non-DRM audios to ViWizard.

3) This is where you can find the converted audio files.

4) Besides that, you can directly drag files from the Apple Music media folder to the ViWizard as well.

Step 2Change Output Format and Output Path

Once all the audios are loaded, open the Format panel to select an output format for your audio files. Virtual DJ supports MP3, WAV, CDA, WMA, ASF, OGG, M4A, AAC, and so on. We suggest you choose MP3 as the default format. Right next to the "Format" is the Output Path option. Click on to relocate your converted songs wherever you want rather than the default file destination.

Step 3Edit the Output Songs with Extra features

Format and Output Path are the basic settings. As a DJ lover, we know you would want more than that. ViWizard prepares many extra features for you to edit and trim your output audios.

1) Under the "Format" panel, you can fine-tune the codec, channel, sample rate, bit rate and quality of the audio files. You can also change the audio volume, speed and pitch.

2) This magic stick icon on the right of each column is to adjust the volume, speed, and pitch of the converted songs.

3) This edit icon on the right of each column enables you to tailor the tags and split the audios.

Step 4Convert Apple Music to DRM-free Format

  2. On the left-hand side, find the "Local Music" folder. Click the "+" button next to it to expand the options, which will include Desktop, Drive, iTunes, Music, and more.
