Algiddim’s audio mixture software, Djay, has become one of the most popular digital music mixing tools, but so far, something that users want: the integration of Spotify. This is about to change, however, the company announcing that it deploys the support for Spotify Premium users in the Djay application on Mac and Windows.
For the first time, music fans and budding DJs will be able to access their own Spotify library, as well as reading lists produced by Spotify, to create their own mixed sets. Although Spotify integration is not yet available on Android and iOS devices, the Djay mobile application supports Apple music and the tide.
In its ad, Algiddim shares that “with just a connection, Spotify Premium Aboncers can instantly travel and mix millions of songs via Djay”. From there, users can express their creativity as freely as they wish.
“From the conservation of the perfect home party set to the exploration of new music, users can effortlessly slide and place tracks in Djay decks, create transparent transitions through genres with intelligent beating correspondence, play using integrated DJ tools or connect their favorite DJ equipment for touch control”, adds the company.
Once you have logged in, Djay has several music mixture features so that you can experiment, from its catalog of effects and curls, to its capacity for the correspondence of beating – everything you can access via its friendly interface, so it is easy to get the mixture if you are a newbie DJ.
The new integration with Spotify is a big step for Djay, offering a wider and much more accessible musical source to its users, rather than having to go through the hassles of downloading songs elsewhere. That said, Spotify has not launched its own mixture tool in the application either.
A threat to Spotify Mix?
Apple Music was the first musical streaming service to introduce an audio mixture with its Automix tool, whose fans are still away. Hot on its heels, Spotify has introduced Mix, a similar music mixture feature, although the spotify version gives you much more control allowing you to mix your own reading lists. For me, the latter is the best DJ feature – but I can see how Djay’s tools could exceed Spotify.
Although Spotify Mix wins on the creative control front compared to Apple Music, it lacks advanced features such as the track loop and the effects, which you can use in Djay. Add this to the new support of Djay for Spotify, and users derive the best party from the two worlds; Careful DJ functions and a more accessible musical library than before. However, I do not think that Spotify Mix will get out of the spotlight so quickly after its launch, and it is thanks to its daily user appeal.
Regarding Djay, its Spotify integration is only available for Mac and Windows – for the moment. And if and when it happens to the Android and iOS versions of Djay, I imagine that Spotify users would always opt for its integrated mix functionality, not only because it is there at the forefront of an application in an application they use daily, but because the novelty of Playlist mix is there – what Djay does not have.
I know that I would not want to go between two different applications when I have the basic features that I just want there in my Spotify account, but I respect the fact that Djay is the most advanced software. The addition of integration with the most popular musical streaming platform in the world is undeniably an intelligent decision on the part of Djay, and the one that could see an influx of new users.
