How to Connect Apple Music/iTunes to Virtual DJ for Mixing

Part 1. How Can I Connect Apple Music with Virtual DJ?

Virtual DJ supports various online music streaming services, including Tidal, Deezer, SoundCloud and more. When connected to one of these music services, DJs can stream and mix music tracks from the vast music libraries. How about Apple Music? Well, there's an iTunes option under the Local Music folder. However, it only allows you to access the local files you put to the Apple Music platform, such as the Music or iTunes app on your computer. When you trying to find your Apple Music there, you'll find you fail to access them directly in the software.

Connecting Apple Music directly with Virtual DJ is not possible due to Apple's digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. And the downloaded music files are encoded in M4P format, which is not supported by Virtual DJ. This means your Apple Music can only be played within the Apple Music platform. To use Apple Music tracks in Virtual DJ, you may need to purchase the unprotected AAC versions from the iTunes Store. Alternatively, you can use a powerful Apple Music downloader to convert and download your entire music library to Virtual DJ for offline use.

With ViWizard Audio Converter, DJs can convert and download their entire music library to use with Virtual DJ. Added with the removal of digital rights management function, both Apple music and iTunes music tracks can be converted and downloaded into MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, and other audio formats. You can also customize them by sample rate, bite rate, channel, codec and others. During the conversion, the lossless audio and full ID3 tags will be embedded with each downloaded audio files. You can then stream and mix them as local files with Virtual DJ.

In addition to Apple Music and iTunes Music, iTunes files, podcasts, audiobooks and Audible audiobooks are supported by ViWizard. You can try either Windows or Mac version for free.

Once all the audios are loaded, open the Format panel to select an output format for your audio files. Virtual DJ supports MP3, WAV, CDA, WMA, ASF, OGG, M4A, AAC, and so on. We suggest you choose MP3 as the default format. Right next to the "Format" is the Output Path option.

When all the parameters and the output folder are set ready, you can begin to convert the DRM-ed Apple Music by pressing the "Convert" button. Once the conversion finishes, you can locate the DRM-free audio files in the folder you selected.
