Spotify's cross fade feature only fades songs from end to end, so you can't cross-fade mid song. If the crowd isn't feeling a song, though, you can just slowly lower the volume to "fade out" the tune, switch to another song, and slowly lift the volume back up.

Question

Can I use Spotify with DJ software without WiFi?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, no, you will need an internet connection in order to use DJ or other software that allows Spotify. However, if you pre-load all your tracks into decks prior to your set, you will only need to connect to the Spotify servers to verify your account and the connection will not be hogged by completely downloading the tracks or analyzing them again.

Question

What if I am in a place that doesn't have WiFi available?

Community Answer

Use Spotify Premium's "offline mode". Just put your songs into a playlist and use the slider "available offline".

Question

Can I search new songs and add them to the playlist with Premium in offline mode?

Community Answer

You can add new songs if you already have them downloaded. However, if you don't, then you can't.

Question

I am a DJ, but I don't know if after I download song as an MP3 format form Spotify using legal Spotify Converter software if I am still able to mix songs during the party legally?

Community Answer

No. Downloading content from Spotify and using it externally is a breach of your contract with Spotify that you entered into during sign up, and may result in civil penalties.

Community Answer

It's legal for private use. I got the TunesKit Spotify Music Converter and download my and my friend's favorite songs and put them on the same playlist. We just play the playlist when we're hanging out and there's nothing to do with commercial use.

Algoriddim, JQBX, Pacemaker, and Spotify is adding more to the list. But if you want to get Spotify available for any DJ software, you can always borrow help form Audfree Spotify Downloader.
