Same here one thing I noticed is when I connected to a hotspot to my phone it actually let me log back into Spotify, but still all I see is add songs. The iPad is on Verizon and my iPhone.

Same here I just noticed there’s a iOS update so I’m crossing my fingers

Everybody in this post is getting a free year of djay right?

Soooooo this looks like potentially a Spotify issue and yet you want Algoriddim to pay for your subscription? Ok then…..

Should get a free month of both.

I brought the pro Djay app based off the Djay app advertisement of ā€œable to use Spotifyā€ to dj songs. If it is a Spotify issue, Djay sold me on what their app could do.

Hi @Leon_Washington, welcome to the Community! Thanks for the feedback. Please understand that this is a temporary Spotify streaming service outage. If you search online you will see that this is not isolated to djay. Other DJ software integrations are also affected.

Hi @Slak_Jaw . Reading here that it’s a Spotify outage. Perhaps you’ve covered this, but the VPN workaround did not work in my case. I’d recommend updating your earlier comment with that suggestion.

Device model: MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2021 (Apple M1 Pro, 16 GB)
Version of operating system: macOS Tahoe 26.4.1
Version of djay: 5.6.4

A) SUMMARY OF ISSUE:

Same symptom as the rest of this thread — Spotify playlist names populate in djay’s library, but no songs appear in any playlist. ā€œNo Songsā€ shown in the track list area. The standalone Spotify Mac app and web player both work normally with the same account.

B) DETAILED STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Open djay Pro 5.6.4

  2. Navigate to Spotify source in the library

  3. Select any playlist (Liked Songs, Discover Weekly, or any user-created playlist)

  4. Track list shows ā€œNo Songsā€ despite the playlist containing tracks

C) EXPECTED RESULTS:

Songs from the selected playlist populate in the track browser.

D) ACTUAL RESULTS:

ā€œNo Songsā€ displayed for every playlist, including Liked Songs.

E) TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTED:

I worked through the steps posted earlier in this thread without success:

  1. Logged out of Spotify within djay, out of the standalone Spotify Mac app, and out of all browser Spotify sessions

  2. Quit djay Pro

  3. Full shutdown and reboot of the Mac (not just restart)

  4. Launched djay Pro and logged into Spotify only from within djay — did not sign into the standalone app or browser first

  5. Additionally tested with a VPN routed through Calgary, Canada — repeated the full logout/reboot/relogin sequence with the VPN active before launching djay. Same result: ā€œNo Songsā€ on every playlist.

F) ADDITIONAL CONTEXT:

  • Based in the United States

  • Spotify Premium subscription, active and working normally outside djay

  • The VPN result is worth flagging: earlier reports suggested this might be US-region-isolated, but routing through Canada didn’t restore playlist data for me. That may point to the issue being account-level (Spotify account region flag) rather than request-origin region, or broader than the US.

I think you need to read some of the comments as to why some of us actually must rely on streaming for certain types of gigs. Love the virtue signaling, though.

This thread is an absolute soap opera.

I can’t get my head around why any person getting paid to DJ would just hand over complete responsibility for their music library to a 3rd party….. these companies can (and have done several times in the past) pull the plug on their service any time they want to.

If this isn’t a massive eye opener for people to have paid for, downloaded local music collections, I don’t know what is.

Don’t have a superstrong opinion on this, as context is everything. But I do know that in my contract with a DJ agency it was very clearly defined that I always needed to bring 2(!) rekordbox-formatted USB devices as backup to booked gigs to make sure that I could do my work when laptops or primary sticks didn’t work. No excuses.

Get off your high horse, dude, it’s cringe.

Sure let me just go to the local record store and buy a few TB of records. It isn’t that simple, bud.

Doesn’t work on Rekordbox or Serato same issue.

Hello all,

Just weighing in here with the same issue. Still not seeing any changes. From the US using a MacBook Pro M2 Max Running Tahoe 26.3.1 Thanks for the support with getting this resolved.

Spotify told me (more than one agent) that this outage is an issue with DJ Pro. Spotify also told me (2 hours ago) that this issue is fixed on their end. Well, it is not fixed for me. I still cannot access songs from Spotify playlists inside DJ Pro. What is the latest information?

Here’s the fact, the API integration stop working right after the Spotify outage on May 12th.

I really regret coming back from Tidal a few months ago. When I left Spotify in 2020 was because they stop supporting DJ integrations but I have never had any interruptions in the service even when the quality of the WiFi signal was not the best.

Today we had guests over in the house for dinner and no DJing… ridiculous. A tremendous disrespect in my opinion. They should be more careful with us.

What has Spotify told you? I have spoken to several agents and noone will admit the issue. I am told it has been fixed. It hasn’t.

There is no high horse, you’re all here literally crying because you can’t do DJ gigs or sets due to handing over complete control of your music library to a massive corporation who don’t care one little bit about it. It’s like handing over your house keys to a burglar to look after the place whilst you’re on holiday, then complaining that he’s robbed you.

Nobody here is telling you to buy a box of records, that’s just ridiculous. You can buy and own music in digital format for 99p a track on iTunes and even less if you use discount codes on various DJ centric websites.

I’ll never have to turn a gig down, or miss out on playing a set because I own 8000 music tracks that sit on a backed up hard drive on my computer…. It really is that simple ā€˜dude’
