How to Import Apple Music to Traktor Software [Updated]

Apple Music has a giant music catalog—over 90 million songs that you can lose yourself in. You can stream online or offline with access across your devices. How do you import Apple Music to Traktor DJ to bring DJ-style effects and transitions to your music?

It is nearly impossible to stream or play Apple Music on an unauthorized device or platform. Because Apple protects its music streaming services with DRM from people copying them and enjoying them without authorization. They encode their songs in an M4P format which disallow the importation of music to non-supported device or platform. So if you’re using Traktor DJ software, it isn’t easy to exercise multi-touch mixing directly with Apple Music. But that doesn’t mean it is impossible. There is a way. If you were wondering how to add Apple Music to Traktor DJ, let’s find out a way right now.

Part 1. Why Can’t You Add Apple Music to Traktor Directly

Music streaming services like Apple Music usually deploys encryption technology to protect the copyright safety of their audio files. This is because of a DRM policy. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the management of legal access to your digital content. Now all major music streaming providers have adopted this method to restrict the usage of their music works. Various tools or technological protection measures like access control technologies can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. That is to say, now you can only play Apple Music on its app or other officially launched integrations or plug-ins. As for other unauthorized platforms or devices, it is impossible to get access to Apple Music. So, is there an Apple Music Traktor DJ integration available? Sadly, not yet.

But don’t worry, you still have a workaround to reach your target. Since Apple Music songs are encrypted in special codes for copyright protection, we can make use of some professional tools to convert the DRM-protected music files to common audio files. At that time, importing Apple Music to Traktor program is not a problem anymore. Then, what audio file formats does Traktor support? Now Traktor supports MP3, WAV, AIFF, Audio CD, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, AAC. Currently, all iTunes purchases are free of DRM protection but note that other vendors may apply DRM protection to their files. Therefore, you can convert Apple Music to one of the Traktor-supported audio files. See the below tutorial to check the how-to.
