The bundled software "Ask the DJ" is a perfect automated mixing program for your parties...

Ask the DJ automatically indexes all your mp3 and AAC files when it's launched. To add a new track to your play-list, you just need to type a few letters of the title, the artist or the album's name. For instance, if you'd like to add Madonna's Into the Groove, just type mado groo. Ask the DJ immediately displays a list of matching titles, sorted by relevance. You can also add tracks by dragging and dropping from the Finder or from iTunes. Then, if you wish to optimize your play-list, you can do so by clicking the Sort button. Ask the DJ will rearrange your play-list so following tracks have matching tempos, rhythms and volumes.

Unlike any other software, Ask the DJ analyses beats to perform truly seamless transitions between tracks. Like a real DJ, it matches beats and adapts tempos whenever needed so the music always flows, even when cross-fading between tracks with different bpms. Ask the DJ also cuts unrhythmical intros and outros, and levels volume. Better yet, all this is done automatically. You just need to click Play and dance. You can also export Ask the DJ's mix art to audio files suitable for burning audio CDs.

Ask the DJ key features

• Ask the DJ detects tempo (BPM).

• Ask the DJ automatically detects tempo for all tracks in your play-list. You don't have to manually “tap” with the keyboard: Ask the DJ analyses the tempo from the sound track itself. This analysis allows Ask the DJ to match beats perfectly and automatically when mixing tracks. Ask the DJ optionally stores tempo information in the file's tag, which allows other software such as iTunes 4 to display the BPM.

• Ask the DJ detects intros and outros.

• Ask the DJ automatically detects and skips intros and outros for all tracks in your play-list. The beat never stops at your party, even when Ask the DJ is running unattended.

• Ask the DJ uses pitch-preserving time stretching.

• To match beats when mixing tracks with different bpms, Ask the DJ gradually alters the tempo with a special pitch-preserving time stretching algorithm. The music gradually runs slower or faster, without the pitch being affected. To alter the tempo, other software merely “pitch” the sound, which results in unpleasant key shift.

• Ask the DJ optimizes your play-list.

• Ask the DJ automatically analyses all tracks in your play-list. If you click the “sort” button, Ask the DJ rearranges your play-list so following tracks have matching tempos, rhythms and volumes. You can even assign weights to each matching criterion.

• Ask the DJ indexes your music library.

• When it's launched, Ask the DJ automatically indexes all your mp3 and AAC files on all your local volumes. This makes it very easy and quick to add a new track to your play-list: you just need to type a few letters of the title, the artist or the album.
