I think that the reason it's only written for BeOS, not Mac or Windows, is
because of the audio latency. The last I heard they had it down to like 5
ms or something. If anyone has ever seen BeOS in action it's pretty
impressive. There's no way a Mac or a Windows machine could handle audio
latency that low.
And 5 ms still isn't all that great for DJ uses, at least in my opinion.

1. I had spine surgery 1 year ago for an injury I incurred most probably
from carrying my records to my radio show and DJ gigs. It caused me three
years of unbearable pain (anyone who knew me then can attest to this by
the shear number of pills I was taking) and my limp. I ended up in the
emergency room in New York and then on Morphine for a week and into
neurosurgery. I would like to avid another back injury and therefore not
carrying my records to gigs is very appealing.
2. My record bag can only hold 40 - 60 records, and is limiting as I'm
sure you all know. You know that moment where you still have apile of
records you HAVE to bring with you to this gig but there's just no room!
With a big selection of my records on a laptop I can have a few hundred
tracks with me.
3. With my music in a laptop or hard drive in my carry-on bag I never have
to worry about flying / losing / breaking my records in airports / baggage
claims. Ever know anyone that's had a crate of their favorite records
ripped off? Don't answer that.
All this adds up to me wanting a MAC version. I'll keep buying vinyl, I
love listening to it at home and almost all the music I own in on wax, but
come on, get that heavy record bag off my shoulder and I'm a happy camper.
