Partial Support

Check each source below to see what they can and cannot do in Lexicon.

Converting streaming tracks between DJ apps is fully supported for all streaming sources.

Importing Streaming Playlists

You can import your playlists from Spotify, Tidal and Beatport:

  1. Go to the Sync page and click Import tracks & playlists, or use File ➡ Import from… in the top menu bar.
  2. Choose Spotify, Tidal or Beatport and log in to your account when Lexicon asks.
  3. Select the playlists you want to import and start the import.

The tracks are added to your library as streaming tracks, there are no music files. Streaming imports are always playlist imports with Merge enabled, so nothing in your library is deleted. Importing streaming playlists is available on the Essential and Ultimate plans.

Spotify tracks can't be played in Lexicon or in your DJ app. You can still organize them, find where to buy them with Send to ➡ Store Links, or replace them with your own music files, see Transfer Streaming To Local.

You can paste (CMD or CTRL+V) website links for streaming tracks into Lexicon to add them. You can get these links like this:

Beatport: use the link of the website page for a track or release (see examples below)

Tidal: right click any track and copy the link

SoundCloud: use the link of the website page for a track or release (see examples below)

Beatport

Beatport has its own integration in Lexicon. You can browse the entire Beatport catalog and add any streaming track to your library by dragging it into a playlist. Beatport tracks can only be previewed, the full track cannot be streamed yet. This also means you cannot set cues or beatgrids yet, since the entire track is needed for that.

You can also paste Beatport website links for tracks and releases into the Lexicon track browser to add them to your library. The links look something like this:

Beatsource

Beatsource tracks cannot be played yet, so no cues or beatgrids can be set yet either.

Tidal

Tidal tracks cannot be played yet, so no cues or beatgrids can be set yet either.

You can paste Tidal links for tracks into the Lexicon track browser to add them to your library. The links look something like this:

SoundCloud

SoundCloud tracks can be fully played in Lexicon. You can set cues and beatgrids for them and add them to playlists just like any track.

You can also paste SoundCloud website links for tracks into the Lexicon track browser to add them to your library. The links look something like this:
