In February 2024, Algoriddim made mixing even more exciting by adding Apple Music directly into djay. DJs gained instant access to over 100 million songs plus their personal iCloud library. This Apple Music integration with djay is available in 167 countries across major devices. You can load your favorite tracks, discover new music, build personal playlists, and use DJ features like AutoMix all within the app.
Compared to other DJ apps that work with subscription services, this integration is smooth and powerful. Streaming Apple Music requires an internet connection, and features like Neural Mix (real-time music source separation) for isolating vocals/instruments only work with locally stored tracks. For an offline experience, some DJs still convert Apple Music tracks to MP3.
Getting Started:
- A supported device: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, Windows PC, or Android. Make sure it is updated and has enough space for djay and playlists.
- An Apple Music subscription: Costs $10.99 per month. New users can try a two-month free trial to explore all tracks and features, including Apple Lossless.
- The djay app: Download from the App Store, Google Play, or the official djay website. It is easy to use and has powerful tools.
- Headphones: Helps you listen clearly when cueing songs or using AutoMix.
- Optional audio interface: For iPhone or iPad, this improves sound quality when connecting to speakers or a PA system.
To start using djay with Apple Music, make sure you have the following:
Part 1. How to Connect Apple Music with djay on iPhone and iPad
Getting Apple Music set up on your iPhone or iPad is easy. Open djay, browse your library, and start loading tracks into decks. You can use AutoMix or cue songs immediately.

Step 1 Open djay on your Windows PC. Make sure you’ve installed the latest version from the Algoriddim website.
Step 2 Click the Music Library or Streaming button on the left sidebar to open the source panel.

Part 4. How to Connect Apple Music with djay on Mac
Macs integrate smoothly with Apple Music. You can browse and mix songs from your library and the Apple Music catalog in one place.

Macs give precise controls and a larger interface, making them ideal for professional setups.
Step 1 Launch djay Pro on your Mac. If you haven’t installed it yet, get it from the Mac App Store or the Algoriddim website.
Step 2 Open the Library / Streaming services panel from the left sidebar.
Step 3 Click Apple Music in the list of music sources. A sign-in dialog will appear.

Step 1 Open djay from the App Store on your Apple Vision Pro. Wait for the floating 3D interface to load.
Step 2 Look for the floating music library panel and select Apple Music from the list of sources.
Step 3 A virtual keyboard or Siri prompt will appear asking for your Apple ID. Enter your credentials and approve access.
Step 4 Once signed in, Apple Music playlists and albums appear as floating tiles in 3D space.
Step 5 Use your gaze and pinch gestures to select an album or track, then drag it into one of the virtual decks to start mixing.

Part 6. How to Use Apple Music with djay with an Active Subscription
An Apple Music subscription unlocks all of djay’s features. You get access to the full catalog, synced playlists, and your personal uploads. Additionally, features like Listen Now, Charts, and Match help you find songs that fit your style or mood.

Step 4 Browse the Apple Music sections to find tracks:
- Playlists for your saved playlists,
- Home for personalized recommendations,
- Top 100 for trending charts,
- Library for all saved songs and albums.
Step 5 When djay Pro asks if you want to import your Apple Music library, click Import Now to add your playlists and tracks. This will make them accessible in djay for mixing.

If some playlists or tracks don’t show up automatically, use a tool like ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer to transfer playlists to djay Pro, or ViWizard Apple Music Converter to convert Apple Music songs to MP3 or other formats so you can use them as local files.
Part 7. How to Use Apple Music with djay with an Active Subscription
Even without an Apple Music subscription, you can mix in djay using songs stored locally on your device, like MP3s or WAV files. These files are fully supported by Neural Mix in djay. A helpful trick is to use ViWizard Apple Music Converter. It can convert single tracks, albums, playlists, artists, or even your entire library in batches. It supports MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, FLAC, and AIFF. For djay, local files can be MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or AAC, so all these formats from ViWizard Apple Music Converter will work.
ViWizard Apple Music Converter saves Apple Music tracks locally on your PC or Mac and removes DRM automatically. Once saved, you don’t need an active subscription to use them, and important info like title, artist, and album art stays intact. This method is great for beginners, offline DJs, or anyone looking to save on subscription fees. It also works with other DJ software or hardware that can upload local files, not just djay.
