With ITunes gone, how does that affect DJs?
- Second article about it
- Instead of the iTunes application, Apple has decided to curate three separate apps - Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV.
- According to MixMag’s Devyn White: “Apple Music fails to incorporate XML file support, an organizational component, which originally made it simple for DJs to transfer data from iTunes to applications such as Rekordbox and Traktor.”
- Without this file support, tracks won't automatically stay organized in set playlists when imported into these applications.
- Serato and Traktor are already releasing beta versions of software to deal with this, no word yet from Rekordbox.
Alec went to see Bijou at Audio; caught up with one of the openers - SF local, DJ BAKR (pronounced “Baker”) and his G-Code squad.
Anti - Plur Moment
People filming the entirety of a performance then getting annoyed when you get into their shot…
