"After pulling support for third-party DJ apps, Spotify Premium subscribers can once again log in and start streaming their playlists and queueing up requests directly from the Mac and Windows versions of Algoriddim's popular djay software. Right now Spotify integration is only available on the djay desktop apps. Neither company has commented on the possibility of the feature coming to the mobile apps."
"When I started DJing at my local community streaming radio station, I relied on a combination of Spotify and Algoriddim's djay. But, back in 2020 Spotify unceremoniously decided to kill off that integration, reportedly due to licensing issues. The company's Terms of Service expressly forbid the mixing of Spotify songs. I guess those roadblocks have been sorted out, though, because Spotify is back in the djay app."
"Thankfully you can enjoy integration even with the free version of the djay app, though paying for a Pro subscription does add hardware integration, some effects, and other features that will be appreciated by more serious DJs. In the years since Spotify pulled support, Algoriddim continued to integrate with Tidal and SoundCloud, and added support for Apple Music. If you were using djay to, you know, DJ, in any serious capacity, chances are that you've already jumped to one of those services."
Spotify has restored integration with Algoriddim's djay software on macOS and Windows, allowing Premium subscribers to log in, stream playlists, and queue requests directly from the desktop apps. Integration is currently limited to the djay desktop apps and availability on mobile apps has not been confirmed. Spotify previously removed support reportedly over licensing concerns and Terms of Service restrictions that forbade mixing of Spotify tracks. The djay app supports Spotify integration even on its free tier, while a Pro subscription adds hardware integration, effects, and advanced features. Algoriddim expanded support to Tidal, SoundCloud, and Apple Music after Spotify's departure, and many serious DJs migrated to those services.
