If you want to play Spotify songs and manage them with Engine Prime, you'll need to connect Spotify to Denon DJ. Unluckily, you cannot connect both two platforms directly. The Denon DJ Engine Prime has no partner relationship with Spotify.

AudFree SpoDable allows you to convert and download any track you like from Spotify to the audio formats compatible with Denon DJ Engine Prime so that you can play Spotify music on Engine Prime with no limit.
