Does Traktor Work with Spotify?
Unfortunately, no. Traktor DJ/Pro currently does not support Spotify. Back in 2020, Spotify halted its integration services with Traktor as a part of its DRM initiative and to restrict the use of its media for DJ mixing.
You might think about adding Spotify downloads to Traktor DJ, but this won't work either. This is because Spotify music is DRM-protected and is typically in the encrypted OGG Vorbis format, which is incompatible with Traktor.
So, what files and streaming services does Traktor Pro support?
- Supported formats: DRM-free MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, and AIFF
- Supported Streaming services: Beatport Link and Beatsource Link
Given this situation, there is a simple solution: you can use a third-party Spotify music converter to easily convert songs from Spotify into Traktor DJ-compatible formats first. Continue reading to learn how to do that.

FAQs About Spotify and Traktor Pro/DJ
1. Can you DJ with Spotify?
The good news is yes. Spotify announced in September 2025 that it would offer direct integration with leading DJ software, including Rekordbox, Serato, and Djay. If you are a Spotify Premium subscriber, you can now directly mix tracks from Spotify using these supported platforms.
Unfortunately, Traktor DJ/Pro and Spotify Free users are not included in this integration. But don't worry. You can also use TuneFab Spotify Music Converter to convert Spotify music into MP3 and then add it to your DJ software.
2. Is it legal to DJ with Spotify?
It depends on your purpose. Conversion and syncing of audio tracks for personal use in the Traktor DJ app is legal. But keep in mind that using such software for the distribution of music is illegal.
3. Do you need Spotify Premium to use Spotify with Traktor Pro?
No, you do not. Since Spotify stopped supporting integration with Traktor Pro, having Spotify Premium does not grant you direct access to Spotify music in either Traktor Pro or Traktor DJ 2. To do so, TuneFab Spotify Music Converter is a must-have to convert and save Spotify songs into DRM-free audio formats like MP3, WAV, FLAC, and AAC.

Well, there you have it. You just unlocked the true freedom of DJ mixing with Traktor DJ and Spotify. Although you can not stream Spotify on Traktor DJ/Pro directly, TuneFab Spotify Music Converter makes it possible by converting Spotify songs into a DRM-free format with just a few clicks.
Beyond Spotify Traktor DJ integration, now you also have the flexibility to adjust the audio format and quality, and move these files anywhere you want for future use. Happy Djing!
