    Didn't get any help...

    traktor dj is good for pc or dj touch for mac

    a modicum of skill is required for both these programs

    Not quite as much as actually mixing though :wink:

    Not sure if you're after automatic mixing (if this exists) but if you're doing it yourself then Virtual DJ is pretty good.

    I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it as I'd rather get my 1210's out but I no longer have space to set them up (kids and all that) so mp3's are taking over. Still, perfect for a party.

    Just download the free demo version for 20 days.

    Ableton live will auto beatmatch.

    You might have to practice a wee bit tho.

    Download the free demo at the ableton site

    all the software mentioned will require a bit of knowledge just to get them working, especially ableton live which i would avoid for mixing if you have no previous experience of it, it can be a proper head fluff.

    Media player will crossfade tunes automatically by varying amounts just look under view/enhancements.

    or i did play about with winamp for a while, there are some mixing type tools floating about for that, you just load up winamp twice along with the mixer tool and away you go, although there is no way to preview the tracks unless you have a multi channel sound card, but this is true with all the software already mentioned....
    have fun!
