DJ suggestions please

Hi fellow Hosters.

I have been using Hoster for about 2yrs now & am very happy with it.

I noticed that many of you use a DJ type program before, after & during your shows.

I have always just plugged an mp3 player straight into the mixer as I haven't really thought about any other way to do it.

Can anyone please advise what program they suggest would be good to use & how easy it is to switch between the two programs during a show.

Thanks in advance

I use SAM Party DJ. It does not conflict with Hoster. Try the demo.

4.0 can play audio but does not have a DJ program. Not sure how you determined that but it isn't like there is a separate program. You can add the audio songs into your playlist and even import them permanently.

dk suggestions

I have used Hoster to play DJ music for years, no problem. I keep a seperate Playlist with only DJ music, change back and forth as needed.
