Topic: Spotify artists

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Im an amateur DJ. A family member asked me to do thier birthday party. I have only done a few gigs quite a few years ago and used a different program. For my moms party, I want to use virtual DJ and run off my Spotify. My question is, can I load all songs and view my list as artists or do I need to make playlists and play from those? I have no idea but assume it will be an older crowd at this party. This makes it more difficult to make a playlist. If I have a song on Spotify but not in my playlist, how could I see it?

Spotify is no longer supported by VDJ. They pulled the plugin some time ago.

A Deezer plugin is available however it's for personal use only and you need both a VDJ and Deezer Pro account, so with your home user licence there is no option for you.
 
Try buying the music - it works for me. :-)
 
Groovindj, thanks for the positive advice. I guess I could use the hard drive I have with over 20,000 songs on it but nothing modern. I could even go spend thousands of dollars to get some more modern stuff. But should I for doing one birthday party for my mom and do not plan on getting into DJ In I guess I could use the hard drive I have with over 20,000 songs on it but nothing modern.

I do pay for Spotify premium account and was going to pay for the home user account for virtual DJ. I guess that gives me the same rights to the music as it does you for buying your music.
 
If it's just for one private event, you could spend $10 or so for a month of Deezer, which is supported in VDJ.

What makes you think it'll cost thousands of dollars?

A typical four hour party, playing tracks for 3 minutes each, you'd need 80 tracks - so even if every track you played was new and paid for, the average cost would be 80 dollars. Probably less. I buy WAVs for around half the price of a typical iTunes download.

You're not prepared to even spend $80 for your family?

You think it's going to be an older crowd anyway, so your collection of oldies will be perfectly usable.
 
Don't home user accounts stop playing after 10 minutes?
 
only if using a controller and not if still within trial period that some controllers come with
 
You will also find that Deezer, is not like owning your own music. You will not be loading and analyzing at breakneck speed.
