Adding Apple Music Tracks to DJ.Studio
Please note that DJ.Studio cannot import tracks directly from Apple Music due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions. Streaming files from Apple Music are protected, meaning you need to own the tracks by purchasing them before they can be added to your DJ mixes. If you receive the error message “Apple Music track could not be imported because it is DRM protected,” this is likely the cause. We recommend downloading and using purchased files for your mixes.
FAQs
Whats the difference between iTunes and Apple Music?
iTunes and Apple Music are two slightly different services. Apple Music is a term used to describe both Apple's music streaming service, and the iTunes-style management service on Mac platforms (which used to be called iTunes).
On windows, iTunes is still called iTunes, and Apple Music is a separate service for streaming music.
Why can't I mix with Apple Music Files?
You can mix with Apple Music files you have purchased, however you cannot use the files you downloaded via the streaming subscription for Apple Music. Because you don't technically own these files, you're renting them, you cannot use them for any re-recording purposes. This is a legal limitation of Apple Music's DRM.
Why can’t I add Apple Music tracks to DJ.Studio?
If you're receiving the error "Apple Music track could not be imported because it is DRM protected," it means the track is protected by Digital Rights Management. Apple Music streaming tracks cannot be used for DJ mixing. You must own the tracks—meaning you need to purchase them—before they can be added to your DJ.Studio projects.
