Apple music tracks, the rental service. won't work with dj software. DRM protection. Nothing that can be done about that.

Even if downloaded onto my machine?

If it's a rental service then no, apple music is a consumer service and the rented tracks can't be used for djing, they argue that djing is professional use, whilst you may or may not be a paid dj, apple can't differentiate, therefore apple music not for dj's.

Thats frustrating. Anyway around this? Surely I don't have to buy all the tracks again? Is there another service that will allow this? Thank you for helping me out

What do you mean by 'buy again'?
If you are subscribing to the apple music subscription then you didn't buy any tracks yet.
If you want to continue using a subscription service you could check out one of the subscriptions supported in VirtualDJ:

Otherwise you would indeed need to purchase the individual tracks (which you can also do through Apple Music/iTunes)
