Professional DJ's powerful mixing features and easy to use interface makes "spinning" your favorite tracks easy. Professional DJ lets you mix your music and apply effects on the fly.

Professional DJ's advanced, automatic beat detection insures that your songs will always stay on the beat. Load a track onto one side of its dual deck display and Professional DJ automatically scans the file for its beat, assigns a beat per minute (BPM) rating, and changes the tempo in the second deck for perfect synchronization.

Supported formats include, but are not limited to the following: AAC, MP3, MPG, MPGa, OGG, WAV, WMV and WMA.

Pros: Dual deck display, support for many popular audio formats.

Cons: DRM'ed music is not supported.

Conclusion: Professional DJ supports drag and drop. With it you can preview upcoming tracks before they play. With support for all the latest audio file formats, playing your music in a party situation isn't a problem. The software is easy to use and install. You can pull music directly out of your iTunes Plus library (no DRM), so you don't have to worry about finding different copies of the songs you want to play.

The interface is a bit different, and if you aren't used to mixing consoles, at least a little, you're not going to have the easiest time getting yourself started. However, the app is easy to use, and after a bit of practice, you'll find yourself mixing tracks, adding effects and having a wonderful time with it.
