BpmDj: Free DJ Tools for Linux

BpmDj is a program that has grown over a number of years already. BpmDj is a set of programs that can be used to DJ. It works under Linux and plays Mp3's. The programs has all kinds of interesting features such as a fully automatic BPM counter (works on an algorithm invented by me). It can determine the sound color. It has a full fledged QT (KDE) based interface. It will help you managing a large amount of songs and above all it is very robust. The program itself requires the availability of two DSP devices. This can be either by plugging two soundcards in one machine or using two machines and playing remotely.

VERSION 2.0 is available. It offers
automatic creation of playlists and automatic mixing,
a pattern analyzer for perfect tempo matching
and support for .OGG files.
