Fwd: Amarok :: DJ level

[Stefan Derkits]

Hello Michael,

Mark forwarded your Mail to the Amarok Mailinglist.

Great that you use Amarok, but unfortunatley (after some People looking 
at the Features you need) this is soo much out of scope for Amarok, that 
we don't want to spend Resources at developing DJ Features.

But I know of another great (used it myself on some Parties) Open Source 
DJ Software which I want to recommend you for parties - Mixxx - 
http://www.mixxx.org/

I think this Software should fullfill most (if not all) of the features 
you need.

Hope you have a great time (re)discovering Music with Amarok and rock 
great parties with Mixxx,
Stefan
