Thank you Funky, i think i will have a play around with this, and i like the price tag 64bit and less than 32mb, some free music to play around with and the gui looks good.

Didn't I write about this a while back? I mean on the blog.... I don't remember what I've written right now

Wow thanks for the share . I'm feeling like DJ .

No problem

This kind of programs are available but not many are free and so good quality like Mixxx. Best known could be Native Instruments Traktor which cost already 199 EUR. Mixxx doing very well at this category and it's free
