Q: I'm having problems getting the music I downloaded on my Apple Music account to work on my Traktor DJ library. I'm not sure if I have the path wrong or if Apple changes the format of the download. But it just keeps saying this file cannot be played. Can anyone help me or has anyone experienced this problem also? Thanks. – NJC408 from Apple Communities
Traktor is one of the most popular DJ software. Launched by Native Instrument, it starts from the year 2000. Compare to Virtual DJ and Serato DJ, Traktor is more professional. Its product line ranges from the free version to flagship product. The Traktor Kontrol S4 is designed for pros and the free version Traktor DJ 2 is made for everybody to mix. Traktor DJ has good compatibility with Mac OS, Windows, and even iOS.
However, if you've ever tried to import Apple Music or other streaming music services songs to Traktor DJ just as NJC408 did, they will show up but will not play in Traktor when you have it set to view your iTunes library. There is no way to link Apple Music directly to Traktor because the Apple Music songs are protected.
To use Apple Music for DJ in Traktor, you need to purchase the music from iTunes but that will cost you a lot of money if you want to get many Apple Music tracks into Traktor DJ. Buying all the songs is not necessary if you have ViWizard Audio Converter. This converter can help you get rid of protection on Apple Music tracks and convert the M4P songs to any format you want. This will be a passage on how to mix Apple Music with Traktor.
