My issue with DJ is this. It's ITunes dependant. I know no way of just opening files in DJ and encuing them in to a list. I like Cog player a lot; but, the issue I have there is that it tends to crash on me. I'm using the latest version of it. Does anybody know of any other players which allow encuing such as can be done with Cog player?
