ITunes song for DJing?

As I've been doing some research, so far it comes to me that there is no legal way for DJs to use iTunes song for DJing in public performances.
But why most DJing apps have an option to use song from iTunes library for DJing?
Is it really illegal that people had already been sued? Or are there some legal ways to do it (by purchasing license or else)?

DJing with other's song also means that we are promoting their song too. Phil Morse from digitaldjtips assumed that as long as DJs purchase a song legally, they barely face problems
Complete nonsense. I was in the music industry and knew of several instances where a club or DJ used tracks without a license and was reported to the record companys (who employee people in many cities for the sole purpose of checking up on clubs and public venues to make sure they're appropriately licensed). The record companies don't care a fig about some vague "promotion value" of such public performances. All they care about is getting paid directly.
I've read an article says that most clubs have a license for public performing using other's song.
Some do, but many don't and expect the DJ to have the necessary licensing. It would be wise of you to confirm that the club you intend to perform at has such a license. If they don't, then you and the club can both be held liable for copyright violation.
And somes say that if you buy a DJ insurance, you will be able to doing things legally.
Also utter nonsense. Only the companies that hold the rights to a recording or their designated agent (some record companies employ a clearing house to process and grant performance licenses) can grant licenses. Insurance through some other company cannot.
In any case, this forum is for the iTunes Store, and as we said, tracks from the iTunes Store cannot be used commercially. If you need further information on music licensing and legal usage, contact the record companies' licensing department or consult your attorney.
Regards.

  • Purchasing iTunes songs for children's accounts

    I want to occasionally buy individual iTunes songs or films for my children, both of whom are too young to have credit cards, but they have their own individual accounts on the family Mac.
    What is the best way to do this without them having access to my password/credit card details?
    Can you purchase a one off 'gift' of online songs for someone else?
    I do not want to put them on a monthly 'allowance' of downloads ( as I did before) as this ends up too expensive
    thanks in advance

    Also, you can create an account for them with your CC, then remove your CC details.
    Add it back when you want to make a purchase for them, then remove it again.

  • Can friends share iTunes songs for party?

    I am wanting to gather my friends top 10 songs from thier ipods and put them all on my ipod touch for a party list.  Is this possible?  Does Itunes allow you to some how do this?  Can they email me thier songs?     Thanks,

    No. The only way to get music on the iPod is to purchase the music via iTunes n the iPod or sync/manually manage music from iTunes.

  • Too many iTunes songs for iTouch device

    I have not tried this yet, but want some advice before I do I have an extensive library of music with over 450,000 songs. If I loaded them all into iTunes and then sync my iTouch, 32 gb, which will only handle approx. 70,000, what will happen on the first sync??
    Will I have to keep checking and unchecking the songs I want on my iTouch??

    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

  • A simple way to purchase or use an itunes song for a ringtone for I phone 4S.

    I have tried to use two different apps which had a video to show you how to use them.  The trouble is the instructions do not match my screen all the way through.  I need simple instructions please.

    Not every song will have a ringtone available, they're designed specifically to be ringtones (i.e they're the catchiest 30 seconds of the song) so if they haven't made one it won't be available i'm afraid (this is where you would have to use an app).
    As an example of one that has one, searching "Read all about it" finds you a ringtone of that song. It's under the "albums" section once you search.

  • Problem Solved: iTunes Songs Cutting Off

    Hello Everyone,
    I just thought I'd share my knowledge with you all. Granted, my solution may not be your solution but I'm putting it out there for everybody to know.
    I was on the phone with Apple iTunes Tech Support for 2 hours going through a really lengthy process of trying to figure out the solution when my host and I finally realized that the solution was a simple one (maybe not, if you have more than a dozen songs having this problem). The problem was that some of my iTunes songs, for no reason at all, were being cut off at the end (usually around a minute or so left in them) and then my iTunes would start playing the next song (unless I had it on the "loop one" setting and then it would loop back to the beginning of that song). The problem, it seems, stemmed from a corrupted song link to the actual file.
    The solution:
    1) Open a Finder Window
    2) Click on the Music tab
    3) Click on the iTunes folder
    4) Go into your iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder
    5) Click on the Music Folder within
    6) Click on whichever Artist the song comes from and then its Album
    7) Check to make sure you have the song in there
    8) Open iTunes
    9) Delete the problem song from your iTunes application (but make sure to click the option that says Keep File)
    10) Click on the same song in your Music Folder and open it in iTunes
    The link should now be fixed and your song should play without complications. You'll have to do this with every song that has this problem but at least it will work. By the way, reinstalling your iTunes doesn't fix the problem because it's the link that's corrupted, not the application nor the song, so you'll have to do it this way.
    Hope this helps!

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.  If you believe it is corrupt:
    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Slideshow preset does not display iTunes songs

    Macbook pro with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
    Aperture 3.5.1
    slideshow preset does not display list of itunes songs for music to accompany slide show (it did use to do this perfectly satisfactorily). Clicking to open itunes does not help.
    Itunes 12.0.0.140

    Graham, the songs that are only in iCloud will show with a cloud icon with a download link.  Click this link to download the song to your mac. It will stay in iCloud as well.  But the local copy should show in iPhoto.  In the example below, the song "Crying in the Rain" does show in iPhoto, because it has been downloaded, but the other songs do not.

  • ITunes song to Ringtone???

    Hello from a new iPhone user,
    Can someone tell me if it's possible to use a downloaded iTunes song for a ringtone? And, how to make it work?
    Thank you,
    BL12

    I use Ringtone Maker with Windows XP
    Select a song in Ringtone Maker, let it record and save.
    When you sync, save from apps area ringtonemaker to a folder you can find on your computer.
    Drag ringtone from folder to ringtone area in itunes.
    Select ringtone in itunes >iphone> ringtones.
    Sync
    In phone settings, choose ringtone to use n the custom ringtone area.
    Also, there is a good help section in Ringtone Maker that explains the process.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • HT201359 My MasterCard bill for my iTunes song purchases are always moreo than what I bought. I only buy one song at a time or buy new levels for candy crush at .99 or 1.29 for songs, but there are times when my mc bill shows iTunes bought for 7.39 or 6.2

    I use iTunes for songs and to buy more levels on candy crush. My bill is to MasterCard, but each month my iTunes is for more than what I think I purchased. I recently had to change my mc number. It was a new number so I changed it on my account. When I buy a song I get an email but sometimes my bill shows for more than .99 or 1.29, it might show for 7.00 or more and when I call the number on the iTunes account I can never speak to an actual person. What should I do?

    Sometimes iTunes clumps bills together... look inside the email to see if there is a list of what you purchased. If you notice when you make a purchase it never comes out right away.. .its sometimes a week later before it comes out or you get an email. If during that week you purchased other items itunes may bill those together.
