How to Use Spotify with Virtual DJ (Step-by-Step)

Part 1. Can I Use Spotify on Virtual DJ?

If you're looking to use Spotify with Virtual DJ, you'll quickly find that it's not as simple as logging into Spotify and streaming directly. While Virtual DJ is a powerful software used by DJs worldwide, unfortunately, Spotify isn't integrated natively. This is mainly due to Spotify's encrypted file formats and digital rights management (DRM) restrictions, which prevent streaming and caching multiple tracks simultaneously – something essential for DJing software like Virtual DJ.

Tool Required

If you're really set on using your Spotify library, there's a way to make it happen. ViWizard Spotify Music Converter allows you to easily convert Spotify songs, playlists, albums, and podcasts into common formats like MP3 or WAV - formats that Virtual DJ fully supports.

A nice bonus: you don't even need a Premium subscription to use it. The converter preserves the lossless quality of your tracks, keeping all the metadata and ID3 tags intact, so your music will be ready to go when you import it into Virtual DJ.

To get started, simply download ViWizard on your PC or Mac. In the next section, we'll walk you through how to use ViWizard to convert Spotify music to MP3, step by step.
