Part 1. Spotify to Rekordbox Converter – Best Tool

Spotify provides an easy way for all users to access the music library for free. By upgrading to Spotify Premium, subscribers can download Spotify music for offline playback. However, you still directly can’t import Spotify playlists into Rekordbox for editing and mixing. That’s because of the unique Ogg Vorbis format of Spotify music downloads. 

It leads that Spotify tracks can only be read by its own official app. Put it another way, Spotify songs can’t be used on any unauthorized device, including the Pioneer rekordbox. 

But don’t worry. What you need to break this dilemma is third-party software for Spotify music. It has the means for converting Spotify tracks into RekordBox-compatible tracks. After comparing the top best tools on the market, I highly recommend the AudFun Spotify Music Converter here.
