Your gear works here

Type your controller, mixer, or player and see how it connects. 462 devices in the catalog, from bedroom pads to the club booth.

How it connects

Three ways in, covered either way

Controllers

A controller works through the DJ software that drives it. If your software is below, every controller it supports is covered, current or discontinued.

Players and mixers

CDJs, XDJs, and DJMs connect over PRO DJ LINK, and Denon Prime gear over StagelinQ. No laptop DJ software in the booth, up to six linked players.

Everything else

Spotify for open-format sets, a file watcher for anything that writes text, and MIDI for gear that speaks it. The odd cases have a lane too.

The software layer

What your gear plugs into

rekordbox

Mix in rekordbox and every track appears on your stream: title, artist, artwork, BPM, and key, exactly as your library has them.

Now Playing for rekordbox

Serato DJ

Serato streams deck and playhead state to Now Playing as it happens, so your overlay follows the mix, not a history file.

Traktor Pro

Traktor's broadcast output carries your track metadata to Now Playing in real time. One preferences change and you're live.

VirtualDJ

Two ways in: read VirtualDJ's history, or talk to it directly with Network Control and follow the deck your audience hears.

djay Pro

Mix in djay Pro on Mac or Windows, including streaming catalogs, and your overlay keeps up without any configuration.

Mixxx

Mixxx

The free, open-source DJ app gets a free overlay to match. Now Playing reads Mixxx with nothing to configure.

DJUCED

DJUCED

Hercules controllers, covered. One setting inside DJUCED and your tracks flow straight to the overlay.

StageLinq

Denon players broadcast every track over your network. Now Playing listens and your overlay follows the mixer.

PRO DJ LINK

PRO DJ LINK

CDJs straight to your stream. Now Playing speaks Pioneer's link protocol, no laptop DJ software required.

Spotify

Between sets, on the couch, or on stream: whatever Spotify is playing shows on your overlay.

File watcher

File watcher

The universal source: if your DJ tool can write a text file, Now Playing can read it.

Now Playing for File watcher

Metadata depth varies by source: BPM, key, and artwork depend on what your software or hardware exposes. Each page above says exactly what's captured, and the help center keeps the authoritative field-by-field tables.

Looking for your exact hardware?

The help center generates per-device setup guides for XDJ, DDJ, CDJ, Prime, and the rest, matched to how you run your rig.
