You can do this with a single instance of Winamp and your mixer that you currently have. If you have two sound cards, it's easy to redirect JAWS to the other one--or Winamp, for that matter, whichever you like. You can add all your songs to the Winamp library and search it to cue up tracks to play. Lots of us on this list can help you through email. It's really quite easy and you don't have to spend any money.
However, if you want things a little more automated, two packages come to mind--Station Playlist and OtsDJ. Right now, OtsDJ is cheaper than SP, and you get different features with the two packages, and they both have pretty steepy learning curves, but they'll both do what you want quite nicely. The only problem with Ots DJ is there's latency in the mic or line-in circuit which can cause horrendous feedback if you're not careful. Station Playlist behaves similarly, but there are things you can do to avoid the echo problem, but they circumvent other features, such as the ability to run all your audio--music, mixer, etc.--through the PC's DSP compresser. If you use an external one, then this doesn't count and SP would be a better choice. HTH On Mon, 31 Jul 2006 01:26:06 -0400, you wrote: >I need some accessible dj software.
