It shouldn't do just any two tracks blindly... I play a lot of things
before knowing what they really sound like so often I'll switch the
second track out really quickly. A well established DJ wouldn't do
this, but a well established DJ wouldn't need tagging, they'd just
know ;). If we also recorded how long the tracks were being mixed for
and maybe something about the ratio of volumes of one to the other.

Something else that would be really useful for the library would be to
record the low/mid/hi envelopes of each track, and give column for
each so that if the DJ wants is being really dubsteppy they can find
bass filled tracks quickly, or if they want to layer something in the
high register over top they can do that, or so they can know before
they hear it if they need to adjust the EQs.
