Some people are developers and some are not.
Some people are professional dj’s and some are not.
Can we please respect that?
The last official statement from Algoriddim is still that they are looking into it. If it’s not possible to get the offline Spotify tracks available than this should be communicated by Algoriddim.
It’s clearly important to a lot of users so an official update would be appreciated.
Dear all, this important feature has also been discussed on the spotify forum, but was put on hold due to the missing 100 votes (so called “kudos”) for this idea.
So I raised the idea on the spotify forum again:
and it would be great, if all the spotify premium users here in the forum take their existing account, login to the spotify forum and vote for this idea.
Maybe it helps to push it.
I Love the Spotify integration. Thank you for doing this… Offline would be awesome! but also if you could implement folders in playlist. I make folders in spotify to structure out my playlist and they all run together when opening in dJay Pro.
That’s the way I do as well… but it’s not 100% safe. You don’t have any control when a song is dumped from the cache…
And this bevahior prooves, that djay is capable to cache songs!
You CAN’T use it fully offline, but you can cache songs to not being downloaded on the gig.
It would be great if this precaching is a supported feature. Download a whole list, but then still need some bits of internet to communicate with spotify… that’s ok. We can use mobile for that. But give us a chance to cache the BIG data of the songs!
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Spotify Playlists via Djay 2.
Spotify requires a wifi connection. However, we can play our play-lists offline which is great because I rarely have wifi in a venue.
The problem is, every-time I try and use Spotify via Djay 2 it says it can’t open because it needs a wifi connection.
I’ve just looked back on the thread of this after my separate topic was merged here.
All very disappointing that 9 months later this hasn’t been dealt with.
The whole advertising for Spotify integration is really misleading and people need to be specifically told that it doesn’t work offline. Bearing in mind I don’t know any venues I work in with strong open wifi, it’s a pretty useless integration and wasn’t worth the fanfare.
I completely agree. I’d suggest for most professional users it’s an utterly useless integration without the offline mode and since It’s never likely to get offline mode they need to make that very clear upfront to avoid floods of people being disappointed.
Warren, everyone is aware of that now. However, the information that goes with the app and the subsequent fanfare that went with Spotify integration makes no mention of the fact offline is not a feature or that this only works with a good robust wifi signal. If you include that information, these kind of messages of disappointment would be minimised.
I fully support this post.
I was so glad to hear that DJay now supports Spotify but that feature is nearly useless to me, if I can’t use it in offline mode with my downloaded playlists.
Thanks for considering.
Thanks Warren! Okay, sandboxing. But I’m pretty sure you clever guys will figure something out to make Djay use Spotify offline playlists . 
Have a nice sunday!
This would be so, so useful.
During shows, I often put my device in airplane mode just to prevent any notification sounds from popping in. Also, unfortunately, a lot of the venues I play still have spotty cellular data connections and/or limited WIFI access. Even in this day and age, being able to access the internet at all times is definitely not a given.
Of course during these times I can fall back to my personal library, but having a collection of guaranteed pre-downloaded tracks from my Spotify playlists would really make this partnership between Algoriddim and Spotify that much more amazing.
Here’s to the future!
Thanks Warren! I look forward to seeing what you guys can do about this.
Definitely was excited to hear about the planned capabilities between apps at WWDC!
Hope you guys are able to take advantage of this.
Same issue, unfortunately. In many locations, the 3G and LTE are equally as unreliable (if not more unreliable) as wifi. Especially in large buildings.
What I find interesting is that djay doesn’t permanently cache the songs it plays from Spotify, which is essentially what ‘offline mode’ is among most other apps – including your web browser. This would totally negate the sandboxing problem.
The way it works now is that when you select a Spotify song in djay, it loads the entire song into one of the decks and caches it until you replace it with another song. It does this so your track doesn’t abruptly stop while playing (e.g. buffering).
Why doesn’t djay just maintain the cached song, and then, if the cache becomes too large, allow the user to clear it out?
Is this a restriction placed on djay by Spotify? Is it about ensuring that Spotify is aware of every time a particular song is played, so they can pay their royalties to the artists? Is this something that Spotify and Algoriddim can work on together to overcome?
Glad to see this thread picking up traction again. I’m still really craving this, 3 years later. WIFI or tethering is still just too unreliable.
As an alternative approach, perhaps djay can pre-buffer any song added to the Queue. That way, when they are transferred into a deck, they’re already fully loaded. This would allow us to get ahead a little bit if the Internet isn’t reliable enough.
Yep fully support the above sayiings, I am using AirPlay without WiFi and of course can’t run my offline playlists 
Cheers…L.
Is great to have spotify but why take the record button now we can’t record our mixes:-(
YES YES YES WE NEED THIS BADLY !!
WITHOUT OFFLINE MODE WE WILL BE STUCK IN PERFORMING DJING AND WORST CASE HAPPEN WHEN WE WERE DROPED OUT WHILE WE WERE DOING ONLINE DJING USING SPOTIFY.
