How is this legal? I thought you could not use streamed music commercially? If you’re a DJ making money on a gig you’d be violating that law.
Makes really nice bedroom/portable setup.
I steer clear of Apple products, but I've still had a lot of fun in this space thanks to DJ Studio ( https://dj.studio/ ), a desktop app that helps make offline (rather than real-time) mixes. I use it to make a monthly personal mixtape, which is a nice way to remember what I used to listen to. They call it a "DAW for DJs," which is accurate. I especially admire the team that makes it.
