Q: I'm using the DJUCED to explore the world of DJing as it claims to stream millions of tracks into it directly for mix and remix. But it seems impossible to link Spotify to DJUCED for mixing my music collection in DJUCED. Do I miss some important points? Or I need to switch to another music streaming app?
As an outstanding yet easy-to-use DJ software, it can mix a wide variety of audio tracks along with a music recording feature. It's important to point out that it only does a partnership with Bearport and Qobuz to stream the most comprehensive CD quality and Hi-Res catalog. It literally means that there is no soup for Spotify music unless it adds Spotify to DJUCED in the future.
Should you subscribe to Beatport or Qobuz to mix music in DJUCED because of the no integration of DJUCED and Spotify? Not really! In this article, we will introduce another solution to make DJUCED Spotify work together well.
