A streaming playlist is the easiest way to play music at a party, and its catalogue is huge. But songs either stop and start or simply crossfade, without matching beats. Beatseam turns your own song files into one continuous mix with beat-matched transitions and an order that flows.

Not directly. Spotify songs are protected and can't be opened by other apps. If you own the songs as files, add those.
No. A crossfade overlaps the end of one song with the start of the next. A DJ-style mix also matches tempo and beats and times the change on the music's phrases, which is what Beatseam does automatically.
