DJ TLM: How to Migrate Your Spotify Playlists to Beatsource LINK

Yesterday, we announced Beatsource LINK‘s compatibility with music migration service Soundiiz. The service allows DJs to seamlessly transfer their playlists from Spotify into Beatsource LINK. This integration has come just in time, following the end of Spotify’s support for DJ software earlier this week.

Beatsource LINK is currently available in Pioneer DJ rekordbox, Algoriddim djay and djay Pro, VirtualDJ, and Hercules DJUCED, with more integrations being announced soon.

In a special episode of DJcityTV’s Share The Knowledge, DJ TLM shows how to transfer playlists from Spotify to Beatsource LINK using Soundiiz.

Sign up for a free month of LINK here, sign up for Soundiiz here, and watch TLM’s walkthrough above.
