Serato to Launch Streaming Integrations With SoundCloud and TIDAL
Music streaming services SoundCloud and TIDAL will be integrated into an upcoming release of Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite, the company has announced.
The streaming tracks will appear in Serato just like regular music files. Additionally, saved playlists on the streaming platforms will automatically appear in the Serato DJ library.
To make use of the integration, DJs will need a subscription to both or either of the streaming services.
SoundCloud offers its Go+ subscription for $9.99 a month, while TIDAL has two tiers of membership: Premium and HiFi at $9.99 and $19.99 a month, respectively. Both platforms also offer 30-day trials.
More details about Serato’s integration with SoundCloud and TIDAL will be announced later.
