That just isn’t possible in iTunes in any elegant way any more All very clever for consumers, but a nightmare for DJs who quite like the idea of using the Apple Music streaming service, but also want to maintain a local library. After the debacles with some DJs finding themselves locked out of their own files, and others finding their own versions of tracks replaced by other versions when they unwittingly agreed to the terms of iTunes Match, what we’re now left with is a program that attempts to blur the divisions between music that’s local and owned by the DJ, music that’s local but “borrowed” from Apple Music, and music that’s streamed on demand from Apple Music itself. Cloud feature and streaming have really messed things up – This has been the final straw for many.

Such changes underline the fact that in a piece of software whose primary purpose is no longer what we DJs use it for, nothing appears to be sacred It prompted a couple of petitions to get it back.

They keep messing with stuff we rely on – In the latest of a long line of irritating tweaks, the good old Rating column has been downgraded, being hidden by default on desktop and disappearing entirely from mobile.

In short, iTunes is slowly but surely becoming a compromise too far for many DJs when it comes to DJ library management You can’t, of course, see cue points, set loops or view waveforms, like Rekordbox, Mixed in Key 8 and Beatport Pro, three would-be contenders in this space.

iTunes can’t handle DJ info very well – You can’t view the universally accepted musical key info in ID3 tags in iTunes, so now that all DJ software can analyse key, there’s no easy way of sorting by that info back in iTunes.

It’s coming (indeed, the rumours of this have started already…), and when it does, do we really think iTunes will survive at all? And this is not a DJ program, it’s a mainstream program. Streaming revenue has overtaken downloads and purchase revenue for the first time ever, and while downloads are still the order of the day for DJs, not for the public.

Apple is likely to terminate music downloads altogether soon – The writing is on the wall for music downloads as we know them, for sure – it’s a question of when, not if.

You want to do this stuff AND manage your DJ library elegantly? Not easy, not easy at all As a clean, focused music library app, it’s now so far from ideal to be almost unusable.

Now it’s about films, TV programmes, home video, podcasts, audio books, online learning, app management, streaming music… It’s become this unwieldy catch-all that baffles most users and has been heading in the wrong direction for years.

It’s become big and bloated – iTunes used to be about music downloads and sync, with iPod, with DJ software, to your phone.

Why you should consider stopping using iTunes for your DJ music Nice for consumers, maybe, but it’s not fit for purpose as a DJ library program any more. But lately, iTunes has become less and less attractive. You could put your DJ playlists in your iPod too, and use them across multiple DJ programs if you liked.īecause iTunes established itself among DJs so universally, over the years we’ve found ways around its changes, foibles and stumbles. No matter what software you used, it was all there.

You could download, organise, and prepare your music in iTunes, and open your DJ software to see all your hard work waiting for you.

Meanwhile, when Apple launched the iPod, that device came with an elegant, clean, simple download store and file manager, called iTunes. Historically, DJ software generally came with file management features that, well, sucked. Indeed, for the first time ever, we are now – after a lot of deliberation – advising new DJs, or those not particularly committed to it, not to use iTunes at all. What was once the go-to app for organising DJ music libraries is now, frankly, a mess, and judging by what our readers are telling us, they’re voting with their feet.

It’s ironic that at its Keynote last week, Apple chose to use DJ software (Algoriddim’s excellent djay Pro) to demo the computer’s new MacBook Pro Touch Bar, seeing as DJs appear to be abandoning Apple’s flagship music program, iTunes, in droves, and fewer new DJs are using it than ever.

For the first time in our history, we are now advising new DJs not to use iTunes at all in their music discovery, organisation or preparation.
