Can apple Music integration now be reconsidered as it is now on all other major platforms?

There have been announcements of apple music launching on Serato, Engine, Alphatheta and rekordbox. Traktor needs to cathup soon.

Traktor is very conspicuous by its absence. Makes you wonder if it’s worth sticking with when it’s the only one not included. They seem to have a problem keeping up with tech advances.

No it's not the only one excluded. Atomix have not said anything regarding VirtualDJ yet either, and they're usually ahead of the game.

Ok, one of only 2 major DJ platforms not included.

This would be a great feature. Please add this asap!

There are several reasons why this announcement was an extremely interesting and exciting move by Apple. All major DJ platforms announced the news at the same time, except, unsurprisingly, our beloved Traktor...
Still, it's a great move, which shows now that Apple has the upper hand again when it comes to streaming due to its capabilities.
Tidal will probably have the advantage of being able to use stems with the add-on for a short time, and Beatsource/Beatport offers another small advantage with the offline locker, which is currently not able by Apple Music (BTW: both platforms also offer the option of streaming lossless files, which is still another advantage).
However: Smart Playlists and the ability to keep your entire library synchronized via iCloud / Apple Music / iTunes match allowing you to access also your own purchased tracks is really an impressive possibility. I would probably change my library management starting today if I weren't staying with Traktor and cancel Beatsource and Tidal for now. I could save a lot of money and make my DJ life easier.
Edit: Just being able to switch between different DJ platforms and always have all my playlists at hand is also incredibly sexy.

+1 for Apple Music Integration

it has finally arrived to Serato and Record Box. I could really use this for Traktor.
Apple Music streaming integration would be amazing. I wonder if there’s any talks on implementing this feature at some point.

it has arrived for basically any relevant DJ software (AlphaTheta, Serato, Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark en RANE DJ) , except Traktor. I’m curious what NI’s statement is on this.

I was thinking the same, I hope NI will bring Apple Music to Traktor Pro, would make a lot of sense.

not for Virtual DJ, neither lot of standalone equipment……….i dont think NI need this one IMHO

Apple music is terrible these days for library management. Can't stand it.
Moved to Lexicon and would never go back.

It does seem to be Much Ado About Nothing, as there are plenty of streaming providers already. Apple Music is just another fish in the sea.
OK I agree Traktor is somewhat lacking in choice, so adding other providers would be beneficial, but it doesn't necessarily need to include Apple Music.
It reminds me of when stem separation first arrived. Atomix & Algoriddim did it first, but when Serato added stems two years later, suddenly it was "a game changer" 🤣

Well, that's it for me.
I and many others have been asking for features like this formonthsand years(!!!).
Nobody at NI seems to care.0 -
Why o why won't Native instruments allow Apple streaming service on the Traktor platform. I'm a heavy user of Traktor Pro and S4 MK3 but i also love the Apple music stream. And now there is the possebillity to use Apple Streaming on platforms as Serato, DJPro etc. And this works very well….heaven for me! Is there in the near future also this for the Traktor Pro platform? Does anybody knows this? If not, i really consider to upgrade/downgrade to another platform.

I can't judge how it works in practice. In theory, though, it all sounds pretty good on Apple Music. But it's good to know you wouldn't consider it again. Did you also have iTunes Match? With reservations, I'd like to try out this feature when the time comes to part with my old library management system or switch to a different one.
At the moment, I'm working a lot with mixo.dj because the price is too high for Lexicon. Just out of interest: What are the core features for you to be on Lexicon?
