Six Steps to Import Spotify Music to Rekordbox

If you're a DJ, you're no stranger to the popular DJ software Rekordbox. Rekordbox DJ is a famous DJ software for organizing one's music library, creating playlists, and preparing tracks to be exported to USB drives. As one of the largest streaming music platforms in the world, Spotify has a wealth of music library resources from all over the world. If the two can be linked, it must be the icing on the cake for DJ users.

So can we import Spotify's music to Rekordbox for mixing? Sadly, as of July 1, 2020, Spotify has confirmed that it will stop supporting third-party DJ apps, so Spotify songs cannot be used with rekordbox DJ or any other DJ software/app, as these are DRM copyrighted, even for paying Premium users. So if you still want to play these songs, is the only way to buy the music tracks separately in the music store? Of course not! Here we'll cover a simple and effective way to help you use Spotify in Rekordbox. Read on.
