AlphaTheta’s flagship CDJ-3000X DJ player is now compatible with Apple MusicApple Music has launched an update enabling integration with AlphaTheta’s CDJ-3000X, following the massive launch of the flagship DJ player last year.
The update – which also follows an initiative from Apple Music last year which enabled integration with a range of DJ units from and software from AlphaTheta, Serato, RANE DJ, Denon DJ and more – gives CDJ-3000X users who are also subscribed to Apple Music access to over 100 million songs on the platform.

Once users are set up on CloudDirectPlay – which allows wireless streaming to access your music library – and logged into Apple Music on rekordbox, they simply need to authenticate by holding their smartphone – also logged into Apple Music – over the NFC tough area on the front panel of the CDJ-3000X.
The launch expands Apple’s DJ with Apple Music ecosystem, now featuring a new dedicated page with curated playlists, platform guides, and tools to help users get the most out of the CDJ-3000X integration.
Additionally, DJs can find exclusive mixes and playlists curated by AlphaTheta on the AlphaTheta DJ Mix Curator Page.
“AlphaTheta has long been at the forefront of music technology, pushing the boundaries of creativity in the space for over 30 years,” says Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes at Apple Music.
“We’re excited to have Apple Music integrated into the new CDJ-3000X, bringing the power of 100 million songs and our editorial curation to users around the world.”

Launched in September last year, the AlphaTheta CDJ-3000X built on the heritage of the CDJ series, adding – as well as improved speed, precision and responsiveness – a 10.1” touch screen and other upgrades to hardware, built-in WiFi and streaming capabilities.
We were lucky enough to get our hands on the unit for our review, where we gave it a strong 8/10, commending it for its stunning build quality, faster browsing and tagging and sharper screen, while pointing out its high price tag and lack of stems functionality.
