    agentorange65 got a reaction from soldier_ph in Spotify to no longer work with Digtial DJ software   
    Summary
     Spotify will no longer allow the functionality within DJ apps to stream music directly to DJ software. The concept of streaming music to DJ sets was a game changer, allowing to build DJ sets on  the fly dependent on the crowds input and expand to include requests of music that they may not have in the immediate collection.

    This was always a pretty grey area, as using spotify for commercial use was dicey at best (plus streaming music while djing live with them was a receipe for disaster).  But was very useful for DJs as a means to include Songs in their sets that they think as spur of the moment additions, and allow for a great volume of music due to not having to buy each song seperatey (crazily most fo the digital musci stores have T&C's saying not for commerical use as well).
     
    While Spotify's music catalogue is not prefect, it allowed for more source material than say, a record pool or a certain genre
     
    New services to step in and fill the gaps include Soundcloud Go+ and Tidal
