:-D
 
LOL - That escalated quickly!
 
Hopefully never.
 
Hopefully soon
 
I don't have a horse in this race, but it seems odd that the most versatile DJ software is left out of the Apple party.

My guess is because VDJ allows offline caching of music files from streaming services and Apple, being the walled garden that it is, doesn't want to allow that.

I just want Apple Music integration so I can quit paying an extra $20 for Tidal. I own my music but like to use Tidal for requests I don't have or the 1st dance song that is only going to be played once ever. But it will need to allow offline cache before I would make the switch.

The Deezer integration also doesn't support download/caching, so that is probably not the reason

My guess is that Atomix/VDJ simply wasn't invited this time around :)

But if it turns out that there is an open API than everyone can use, and Apple doesn't charge the DJ software vendors for it, then I'm pretty sure Atomix will create support as well :)
 
I'm almost certain the ability to cache isn't the issue - that would be a term that's negotiated by them and fully controllable by automix devs on the VirtualDJ side (they would just disallow caching for the Apple Music provider).
It's hard to say what happened here without inside knowledge but it's probably already on the Devs radar.

Thanks for the clarification, I am new to VDJ so it was just a guess. I love your videos, they have helped a lot with the transition from Serato and seeing how powerful VDJ really is.
 
No, VDJ allows caching only for TIDAL. So Apple could be integrated like deezer or others ...
