FAQs to Add Apple Music to Rekordbox

Music bought from iTunes after 2009 is in an unprotected AAC format, which works with most DJ software. However, tracks bought before 2009 are protected and can only be played in Apple Music or iTunes. To use them in Rekordbox, you'll need to convert the protected M4P files to MP3 using UkeySoft Apple Music Converter.

Q2. Will Converting Apple Music Tracks Lower the Sound Quality?
To maintain sound quality, choose high-quality settings in UkeySoft. Use the "iTunes Record" mode and set the output to "AUTO" to ensure lossless downloads.

Q3. Can Other DJ Apps Use Apple Music?
Only purchased and downloaded iTunes or Apple Music tracks can be used in DJ software. If you want a more affordable option, use UkeySoft Apple Music Converter to turn Apple Music songs into MP3 files for your DJ sets.
