DJUCED is a popular DJ software that many users choose because it is easy to use and budget-friendly. It works well with Hercules controllers via USB, letting you quickly load tracks into Deck A and B using the browser. It also offers solid features to mix and remix tracks on your own or with the built-in Assistant (IMA) for suggestions. For beginners, DJUCED is a great way to practice and perform DJing, much like Spotify is for streaming music.
Spotify is one of the biggest music streaming platforms, with a huge library of songs and playlists. Many DJs want to use their Spotify tracks in a set, but DJUCED does not support it, while other programs like Pioneer DJ Rekordbox, Serato DJ, or Algoriddim djay do. This means you cannot stream Spotify tracks directly into DJUCED.
At this point, if you want to use Spotify music with DJUCED, you will need to convert the tracks to a supported format or transfer them to a compatible music service. DRM protection makes this necessary even for Premium users, so conversion is often the simplest solution for offline mixing.
Part 1. How to Use Spotify Music in DJUCED by Converting to Local Audio Files
One effective way to use Spotify music in DJUCED is to convert the tracks into local files that the software can read. DJUCED supports standard audio formats such as MP3, M4B, AAC, WAV, and FLAC. Any Spotify track, however, is protected by DRM and stored as cached files that DJUCED cannot recognize. Even with a Premium subscription, Spotify tracks must be converted before they can be imported.
Tool Required: ViWizard Spotify Music Converter
You can use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter for this. Start by opening the converter and connecting your Spotify library to the program, whether you have a Premium or free account. Then select the tracks you want to convert and choose the format, sample rate, bit rate, and channel. Save your settings and start the conversion. ViWizard will create local files on your computer within minutes and automatically keep the original ID3 tags.
After conversion, import the files into DJUCED and mix them like any other audio files. If you have multiple tracks to convert, you can queue them all at once and manage them together, which saves time and keeps your workflow smooth.

Step 1: Convert Spotify Music to DJUCED-Compatible Audio Files
Start by selecting the Spotify playlists, albums, or individual tracks you want. Use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter to download and convert them on your PC or Mac. The tracks will be saved in DJUCED-friendly formats such as MP3, WAV, M4B, or FLAC. For MP3 files, the bit rate can go up to 320Kbps, which is suitable for DJ use.
Step 1 Download and install ViWizard Spotify Music Converter on your PC or Mac, then launch the program.
Step 2 Inside ViWizard, sign in to your Spotify account and wait for your library, playlists, and albums to load.
Step 3 Browse your Spotify library in ViWizard and open the playlist, album, or track collection you want to convert.
Step 4 Click the Add button, and ViWizard will load all selected tracks into the conversion list automatically.
Step 5 Open Preferences, select an output format such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4B, and adjust bitrate or sample rate.
Step 6 Choose an output folder where the converted files will be saved, so you can easily locate them later.
Step 7 Click Convert, then wait while ViWizard removes restrictions and saves the tracks as local audio files on your computer.
Step 2: Import Converted Spotify Music into DJUCED
Once the conversion is complete, import the files into DJUCED directly or through the iTunes option. You can then organize them into playlists, load them into Deck A or Deck B, and mix them alongside your other tracks.
Option A: Import Local Files to DJUCED Directly
Step 1 Open DJUCED on your computer and go to the Library section.
Step 2 If you want, use the Explorer/Finder inside DJUCED to browse your local music folders.
Step 3 Right-click on a folder and select Import to Song Library to add it to DJUCED.
Step 4 Open Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) in another window.
Step 5 Drag your converted Spotify files or a music folder into the Track List area in DJUCED.
Step 6 Wait for DJUCED to load the tracks into your library.
To see where a track is stored on your computer, right-click it in DJUCED, choose File Operation > Reveal in Explorer/Finder.
Option B: Import Local Files to DJUCED via iTunes
Step 1 Open iTunes on your computer.
Step 2 Go to File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library, then select your converted Spotify tracks.
Step 3 Click Open to add the files to iTunes.
Step 4 Go to Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac).
Step 5 Click the Sharing tab and check Share my library on my local network.
Step 6 Open DJUCED and go to the Library section.
Step 7 Click the iTunes entry to view your iTunes library in DJUCED.
Step 8 Select the tracks you want and drag them into your DJUCED playlists.
Part 2. How to Use Spotify Music in DJUCED via Another Music Service
If you prefer not to convert files, another option is to transfer your Spotify playlists or albums to a music service that DJUCED supports, such as SoundCloud, TIDAL, Qobuz, Beatport, or Beatsource. This is useful if you already subscribe to one of these platforms, since integration usually requires a subscription or signing up for a free trial.
ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer can help with this process. Sign into both your Spotify account and the target service, then select the playlists, albums, or tracks you want to move. The tool will rebuild your library on the new service, matching tracks and keeping the playlist order. Keep in mind that metadata and track availability can sometimes differ between platforms, so your library might not look exactly the same after the transfer.

Step 1: Transfer Spotify Playlists or Albums to a DJUCED-Supported Music Service
Choose the playlists or albums you want to move and use a tool like ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer to copy them to a music service DJUCED supports. ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer works with more than ten music services, but for DJUCED, the options are limited to SoundCloud, Tidal, or Qobuz.
Step 1 Download and install ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer on your computer, then open the program.
Step 2 On the main screen, select Spotify as the source platform, then log in with your Spotify account.
Step 3 Next, choose a DJUCED-compatible destination service such as Tidal, then log in to that account.
Step 4 Click Next to continue to your library, where you'll see your playlists, albums, and artists.
Step 5 Check the box next to each item you want to transfer. You can select entire playlists or just a few tracks.
Step 6 Click Start Transfer at the bottom and wait while the playlists are moved to the destination service.
Step 7 Once the transfer finishes, open the destination service, go to Library > Playlists, and check that your playlists are there.
Step 2: Connect Your Music Library to DJUCED
After transferring, connect your account from the supported service to DJUCED. Your Spotify playlists will now be available in the software. You can browse tracks, create playlists, and load them into decks for mixing, just like any other audio content.
Option C: Connect TIDAL Library to DJUCED
Step 1 Open DJUCED on your computer and click the Settings (gear) icon.
Step 2 Go to Connect to open the list of supported streaming services.
Step 3 Click the TIDAL icon and log in with your account credentials.
Step 4 Wait for DJUCED to connect to your TIDAL account.
Step 5 Go to the Library section and click the TIDAL tab to browse your playlists and collection.
Step 6 Select tracks or playlists and drag them into your DJUCED library.
Part 3. How to Play and Mix Spotify Music in DJUCED
Once your Spotify music is available in DJUCED—whether through converted files or a supported streaming service—you can start mixing.
Step 1 Open DJUCED on your computer and go to the Decks section.
Step 2 Click on Deck A or Deck B to select the deck you want to load a track into.
Step 3 Go to the Library section and click All Songs (or select a specific playlist).
Step 4 Find the converted Spotify track you want to play by scrolling or using the search bar.
Step 5 Drag the track from the Library and drop it onto Deck A (or Deck B).
Step 6 Click the Play button on the deck to start the track.
Step 7 Drag a second track from the Library onto the other deck. Then do any of the following to start mixing the tracks:
To blend the two tracks, move the Crossfader at the bottom of the screen between Deck A and Deck B.
If the beats do not match, adjust the Tempo slider on each deck to align the BPM of both tracks.
To shape the sound, turn the EQ knobs (Low, Mid, High) on each deck while mixing.
If you want to add effects, open the FX panel, select an effect, and adjust its parameters.
To preview a track without playing it through the main output, click the Headphones (Cue) button on the deck.
To complete a transition from one track to the other, slide the Crossfader fully to the opposite deck.
Step 8 Save your mix or set by clicking Record (if available in your DJUCED version) and choosing a save location on your computer.
Conclusion:
Though Spotify doesn't directly support DJUCED, there are still workarounds to use it. By using tools like ViWizard Spotify Music Converter and ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer, you can remove streaming restrictions and gain full control over your music library. Whether you prefer MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4B files, or want to integrate playlists from another service, these methods make your Spotify collection fully usable in DJUCED.
