Pioneer DJ just announced that its two-channel DDJ-400 controller is now compatible with djay Pro for Mac / PC, which expands the controller’s software compatibility from Rekordbox DJ, Virtual DJ and djay for iOS, and that also means you can now spin using Spotify streaming if you’ve got a Spotify Premium account. The company has also released the unit in silver to give users a second choice of colour.
The DDJ-400 is an excellent entry level controller for those wanting to get into digital DJing but want a layout and controls that are similar to a CDJ/DJM set-up. Granted, it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as its bigger siblings (DDJ-1000, DDJ-800) but you do get a full set of performance pads, touch-capacitive jogs and even Beat FX controls that mimic some of the workflow needed to operate a DJM mixer.
- Are you a complete beginner, who's thought about giving DJing a go, but been put off as soon as you realised you couldn't just hook your Spotify music collec.
- TuneFab Spotify Music Converter can 'unlock' the DRM restriction by recording music from Spotify and re-encoding it as DRM-free MP3, M4A, FLAC, or WAV format. In this way, you can easily get rid of DRM and make it possible to use Spotify music for your personal needs.

What are your thoughts on this new compatibility with djay for iOS and djay Pro? Think that new silver finish is slick? Let us know below.
Therefore, I am looking for a beginner controller and respective software. The clue is that I have my whole 'music collection' as part of Spotify. My question is, whether there is any DJ software out there, that is able to import tracks from Spotify or whether this idea makes no sense at all. Thanks in advance.
