📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Apple Music integration with djay!

[Alexanderexpander]

how is the music Quality. I could not see any quality settings… but in general, works absolutely fine and smooth…

[Dysfunk_DJ]

From Apple Music In the Music app Apple Music subscriberscan access millions of tracks encoded using lossless audio compression.

Lossless compression is a form of compression that preserves all of the original data. Apple has developed its own lossless audio compression technology called Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). The entire Apple Music catalog is encoded using ALAC in resolutions ranging from 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD Quality) up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

[Alexanderexpander]

I know that in Apple Music app there is lossless Compression, but so far my feeling playing Apple Music with djay, the Quality is ok. but its just a feeling, am not the expert… my local music files sound better… for me DJ streaming is just casual djing (not recording and not neural) , so not having lossless in streaming Ould be ok for me, just to know what quality is offered…

If you had to pick one or the other, would you choose Apple Music or Tidal?
I currently own all my music and only have Tidal for the emergency requests so would be using Apple Music the same way…

[Dysfunk_DJ]

I agree. I have my music on local storage and was using tidal for requests. Seen as though our family is subscribed to Apple Music anyway, i may as well go with Apple Music. I do have SoundCloud and beatport as well as they of offer loads of options around underground dance music. Either way Djay Pro is rising up the software mountain.

Hi. Has anyone has trouble signing in to Apple Music on the app? My Apple Music app is working fine on my iPad but when I click on sign in on the DJ AI Pro app it just keeps going back to the login page. I’ve checked all software is up to date which is it.

Can anyone help me?

[PKtheDJ]

Just a guess, but are you still logged into the Apple Music app and have it running when you try to log in though DJay Pro?

[Stevie]

Hi. Yes I’m logged into it on my iPad but the app isn’t running whilst I’m trying to login on the DJ Pro app

[Brainbox]

Does neural mix work with Apple Music?

Cheers, Bart.

[Dysfunk_DJ]

Nope it doesn’t work with neural mix. Not surprised by that though with Tidal.

[Ehzi_D]

I have been ripping CDs with Apple Music and now even with tracks I have downloaded locally to my iPad, I can’t use stems with music I’ve purchased. What gives?

[maurizio_T]

You can’t use stems in music that you already own?

[Ehzi_D]

Not the ones downloaded from my music library.

[djjoejoe]

tldr: Make sure you have “Local Music” selected.

Did you select the correct source? The introduction of Apple Music has given us a new music source “Apple Music” - any music in there won’t be able to play stems. Your local music should be in there but it should also be in “Local Music” - if you play it from there, no limitations should apply. Please see the screenshot for more clarity.

[maurizio_T]

Thanks for the clarification

[Ehzi_D]

Thank you I was worried I’d have to download my entire Apple library and reload via iCloud. Thank you!
