Hello,

I'm looking for an advanced DJ mp3 player. I've already seen
some, but have not found the best one. Nearest is "Traktor
Beatport Player" (for which you need to register on
http://www.beatport.com/ ), but I'm missing prelisten.

My needs:

* crossfade between tracks, automatic and by hand
* manage music in one playlist
* browsable media library (like MediaMonkey for example)
* easily searchable
* prelisten (through second sound card)
* easy to use (for party usage)

Regards,
Thorsten

sadly no answer yet. I decided to give up searching for a
all-in-one program and do this using the combination of
MediaMonkey and "TRAKTOR DJ Player" (which is the predecessor
of Beatport Player mentioned above, needs less desktop space
and has a more configurable auto-fader). This way prelisten
only works for track choice in MediaMonkey, not for mixing
itself, but for party DJing this may be enough. Drag & drop
from MediaMonkey to TRAKTOR playlist works well.

(may be called Nagware because of not removable menu entries)

(for download see bottom of page, email registration required)

Requires at least 1024x768 desktop size for both side by side.

Ok... I'll reply then :)

Check out otsdj.com.

I use there full blown commercial "OtsDJ" program, but they also have cd-
scratch (which only works with CD audio), and Ots Turntables.

Last I checked their both cripple-ware to a degree, but you won't find any
better... freeware or not!

I'm quite impressed with their NO-latency (yes NO-latency) audio pipeline.
It also still boggles me how you can play two songs from the same cd... at
the same time, and "scracth" them.. again with NO-LATENCY!

I'm a fan :)

this may come near, I must try it, but of course it's off topic
here, at least "OtsDj Silver" (usually US$ 179.95) fits my written
needs.

I already know Turntables and it's a free and cool toy, I agree.
But it's far away from my written needs, so no help.

I'll have to try, the media library part on screenshots does not
look that detailed like I wish, but one thing is relevant in this
NG, always to state very clear, what is free and what is not, as
this NG is only for freeware. Mention payware, when there really
is no other solution and state clear.

Thorsten
