How to Use Spotify with Traktor DJ Pro (Step-by-Step)

Part 1. Does Traktor Work with Spotify?

If you're a DJ, you know Traktor is a powerful tool. It's top DJ software, made for everyone from bedroom DJs to pros on stage. Traktor lets you mix, loop, and edit your tracks to create something unique. You can load your music, sync it perfectly, and dive into your creative process—mixing to your heart's content. Now with Traktor Pro 4, though many still love Pro 2 and Pro 3, Traktor offers tons of effects, full track control, and hardware options like Traktor Kontrol, making it a go-to for live shows.

What Music Services Does Traktor Support?

Traktor supports services like most DJ software, including Beatport Link and Beatsource Link. These services let you stream thousands of tracks directly into your set. However, Spotify isn't supported directly by Traktor. So, even if you already subscribe and have all that music available, you can't just drag a Spotify track into your deck and play it.

Does Traktor Work with Spotify? (And What's the Solution?)

Not directly, mostly because of DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection on Spotify tracks. Traktor can't play streaming music files straight from Spotify.

But don't worry—there's a simple fix. ViWizard Spotify Music Converter can remove the DRM protection from Spotify tracks and convert them to formats Traktor can use, like MP3. This lets you bring Spotify's huge music library into your DJ sets—without worrying about DRM.

Once the tracks are converted, you can easily import them into Traktor, just like any other music file. So, while Traktor doesn't directly support Spotify, ViWizard gives you the freedom to mix Spotify tracks with your other music.
