Songs from the Apple Music streaming service are not supported in third-party DJ apps. Files from this streaming service are DRM protected, and won’t be playable in any other software, hence why these files do not show in DJ software unless you purchased and downloaded them.
However, finally, there is a DJ app that is compatible with Apple Music and allows you to listen to seamless mixing of Apple Music DRM content – Offtrack (Mixonset) for iOS picks the best fade-in and fade-out points, then seamlessly transitions automatically between tracks. Since most songs are too long, Offtrack plays the best 25-50% of a song as a highlight. Swipe to the queue page and you’ll see that the song order has already been optimized for you.
