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

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.

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
When all the parameters and the output folder are set ready, you can begin to convert the DRM-ed Apple Music by pressing the "Convert" button. Once the conversion finishes, you can locate the DRM-free audio files in the folder you selected.
Part 3. How to Mix Apple Music with Virtual DJ
You can choose to add the local files directly to Virtual DJ for your mixes. If you use iTunes to manage your music collection, consider replacing the digital music by them. This will allow you to access all the compatible audio files in the iTunes folder.
- Launch Virtual DJ on your computer. Once it's up and running, you'll see the main interface where all your music and tools are accessible.
- 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.
- Click the "+" button next to the "Music" folder. This will display all the compatible music files stored on your computer, including the Apple Music tracks you've converted.
- Locate the Apple Music tracks you want to mix. Drag them directly from the list and drop them onto the Decks in Virtual DJ. Your tracks will load, and you can start mixing immediately.
If you prefer using iTunes:
- Launch the iTunes app on your computer. Go to "File" > "Add File/Folder to Library" and select the folder where your converted tracks are saved. Once added to your iTunes library, ensure that iTunes is set to share its XML library by going to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Advanced" and checking the "Share iTunes XML Library with other applications" box.
- Back in Virtual DJ, navigate to "Local Music" > "iTunes," and your converted tracks should be listed there. Just drag and drop them onto the Decks to start mixing.
By following these simple steps, you can easily import your Apple Music tracks into Virtual DJ and start creating your mix. Enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
