On this page I've put a small list of software a virtual DJ would be well advised to download, as well as software I like, because it makes life a bit easier. Windows is the operating system for MP3s and mobile DJs, basically because lots more software is available for making MP3s playing them and manipulating them. For copying MP3s on to machine from CDs you need a "CD ripper", you can buy some very good ones, which are fast and efficient in their MP3 compression. I use a freeware programme called CDex, but there are better ones like Audiocatalyst and Xing MP3 Encoder which are faster. You can also download MP3s from many sites like http://www.mp3.com. Check out the Hadbai Limited records site at http://www.hadbai.co.uk. If you're a band, with good original songs also check it out!

Now you want to play your MP3s and mix them. As you might have guessed I think Virtual Turntables is very good for this. You can get this from http://www.carrotinnovations.com. But rememeber to check out other programmes to see which you prefer (and which is the most stable). I have also written a programme called QuickMP3 which is useful for indexing your MP3s.
