Not in 4.0, but I think it is listed for 4.1 or 4.2

To answer your other question. It is easy to switch between programs. Alt+tab works for switching program screens in every windows operating system. Try it. It works for everything.

I use Virtual DJ and it is very simple if you read the instructions Though it is quite expensive in comparison ($300 bucks). Most of the bigger DJ software names have trial versions of their software. Do a Google search for DJ software and test the software on your machine. And find one that you like that fits your needs and most importantly...will run smoothly on your machine along side Hoster.

I find that having a full on DJ program makes life easier on slow nights so I can still earn a paycheck and also when I get called to be a DJ.

If you intend to crossfade (dead air prevention) and use different inputs on your mixer and for KJ and DJ there will likely be some creativity needed in your sound set up and possibly different audio interfaces.

I do as you do, exactly.

I use OTSDJ for my dj/fill programs. It can be setup on a different sound card so can be put on a separate fader on your mixer as well. It does cost, but well worth it IMO - ESPECIALLY if you do ANY actual DJ work. They also have a demo you can download & use for 30 days.

I use iTunes, it's free simple to use and anytime I need a song I don't have I simple go download it from iTunes.
