Add Spotify Songs to Serato DJ

Serato DJ, a popular award-winning DJ software program, can add music files in MP3, M4A, Ogg and WAV formats on your computer as audio sources, and play and mix them. Since the music downloaded from Spotify Premium is also in Ogg format, many users think that Spotify Ogg songs can also be added to Serato DJ for playback and mixing. However, Ogg songs downloaded from Spotify Premium are encrypted and cannot be added to Serato DJ. When it comes to Spotify Free, it's needless to say as you can't even download songs with Spotify Free.

However, with TuneKeep Spotify Music Converter, you can easily convert Spotify songs to MP3, M4A, WAV and other Serato DJ compatible music formats regardless of Spotify Free or Spotify Premium. After conversion, you can add, play, and mix with Serato DJ without any restrictions. Read this article to learn the details.

In any case, Serato DJ supports music formats such as MP3, OGG, ALAC (Mac and Windows 10 only), FLAC, AIF, WAV, M4A, MP4, AAC (Mac only).

Serato DJ has some songs built-in as audio sources, but it's so limited. Fortunately, Serato DJ supports adding computer music to your Serato DJ deck. You can do this from File Explorer built into the Windows version or Finder built into the Mac version. However, adding music as an audio source to Serato DJ every time is troublesome through Explorer or Finder. If you add a folder with music files collected to Serato DJ's library, you can add songs quickly by selecting songs from the library. Adding a music folder as a library is also very easy. In the central right part, Click "Files" button, browse to the music folder from Explorer or Finder, select it and drag & drop it to the library panel at the bottom left, then the music folder will appear in your library.

Adding a track from built-in sources or from music library in left panel to Serato DJ deck is very simple, you can simply use drag&drop operation to add. The interface of Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro is a little different, but the way you add songs is exactly the same.

You can't download songs with Spotify Free, so you can't add songs to Serato DJ with Spotify Free. In the case of Spotify Premium, the downloaded Ogg files are encrypted and stored in deeply hidden folder, so you cannot use the downloaded songs either. Even if you browse to the location where Spotify Premium songs are saved in Serato DJ and drag & drop the Ogg files to the Serato DJ deck, there won't be any response. In other words, you need another way to add Spotify songs as a source for Serato DJ. TuneKeep Spotify Music Converter may be the best solution.
