I usually play house music with dvs through traktor. Looking for the easiest way to add spotify tunes for requests. I feel something like djay pro 2 on an ipad plugged into one of the channels on the mixer could be an option but it feels a bit clunky.
- @glacealamode @fleetwoodsmackd Ahhh okay I did some research and it looks like djay works with Spotify, Soundcloud, and Tidal, but not Apple Music, and Traktor doesn't work with any streaming platform. Sad for me over here since I prefer Traktor and use AM:/.
- Dec 18, 2017 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 can not be played can anyone help me or has any one experienced this problem also.
- Dec 12, 2018 Two Serato DJ public betas are wrapping up today as the company launches finished software updates, Serato DJ Pro 2.1 and Serato DJ Lite 1.1. These are the first final-release versions of the software that incorporate streaming from both TIDAL and Soundcloud collections, as well as the standalone, hardware-free expansion pack, Serato Play.

Smart playlists – playlists that auto-fill with tracks based on a set of rules – are a great feature of both iTunes and other DJ software, but do not feature at all in Traktor Pro 2 natively.
But you can have custom auto playlists of a sort in Traktor. This means – for instance – that you can keep warm-up, main set and backroom tracks apart, and whenever you add new tracks to your library, as long as you tag them as such, the playlists will reflect that.
It takes a little bit of work, but it’s actually really easy – so watch the video to discover how to do it.
Hopefully Traktor Pro 3, when it arrives, will bring Traktor up to speed with other DJ software – but for now, here’s a stop gap trick for you.

When it comes to choosing which DJ software to use, there are a lot of solid options. In this Head To Head feature we take two popular platforms – Serato DJ Pro and Traktor Pro 3 – and see how they stack up against each other.
Traktor Pro 3.1
I’m new to digital – what exactly are these apps?

Serato is a company that makes digital DJ software. Its first was called Serato Scratch Live and it was released in the mid-2000s. A lot has changed in digital DJing since then, and today Serato’s latest app is called Serato DJ Pro (and Serato DJ Lite for beginners). It can be used with turntables, DJ media players and controllers.

Traktor is Native Instruments’ laptop DJ software, and Traktor Pro 3 is the current version. It’s one of the first digital DJ apps, launching back in 2000. It’s gone through several iterations since then, most of which were in step with DJ controllers that Native Instruments put out including the Traktor Kontrol S4, the jogwheel-less Traktor Kontrol S8 and the new Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 with Haptic Drive kinetic jogwheels.
