Introducing Apple Music Integration for AlphaTheta’s CDJ-3000X

09 January 2026 - Press release

Apple Music has announced an update enabling Apple Music integration with AlphaTheta’s next-generation multi-player, the CDJ-3000X.

With this update, the CDJ-3000X and its new StreamingDirectPlay feature give Apple Music subscribers access to over 100 million songs on Apple Music and the latest playlists on the platform. Once set up with CloudDirectPlay and signed into Apple Music on rekordbox, users can authenticate  quickly by simply holding a smartphone - logged into an Apple Music account via rekordbox for iOS/Android - over the NFC touch area on the front panel.

The CDJ-3000X builds on the heritage of the CDJ series - in addition to heightened precision, speed, and responsiveness, the 10.1-inch touch screen provides excellent visibility and intuitive browsing, enabling listeners and hobbyist DJs to search, preview, and select cloud-based tracks smoothly. With Apple Music compatibility, users can access millions of additional songs on demand, preview tracks on the spot, and refine what they play next. This launch expands the DJ with Apple Music ecosystem, giving users who subscribe to Apple Music seamless access to Apple Music as a tool for discovery, rehearsal, and creative growth. DJ with Apple Music also includes integrations across leading platforms such as Algoriddim’s djay Pro, Serato, and inMusic’s Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark, and RANE.

A dedicated DJ with Apple Music page is available now on platform, featuring curated playlists, platform guides, and tools to help users get the most from the CDJ-3000X integration. On AlphaTheta’s official Apple Music curator page, the AlphaTheta DJ Mix Curator Page, subscribers can find exclusive mixes and playlists curated by AlphaTheta for fresh inspiration and new ideas.

Apple Music’s commitment to DJ culture extends across programs like DJ Mixes - home to thousands of premium mixes from the world’s most influential DJs - and Apple Music Club, the 24-hour radio station available around the world dedicated to dance and electronic.

“AlphaTheta has long been at the forefront of music technology, pushing the boundaries of creativity in the space for over 30 years. 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.” - Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes
