djay is a digital music mixing software program for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows,[1]iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch created by the German company algoriddim. It allows playback and mixing of digital audio files with a user interface that tries to simulate the concept of 'two turntables and a microphone' on a computer. Before the commercial release in November 2007, djay had initially been released as freeware in June 2006.[2] In December 2010 the software was also released for the iPad,[3] and subsequently for iPhone and iPod touch in March 2011.[4]
Its interface consists of two turntables, a mixer and a music library showing songs and playlists from iTunes. It also supports Spotify integration.
djay for iPad received an Apple Design Award in 2011.[5]
Features[edit]
iTunes integration[edit]
djay's iTunes integration allows the user to mix songs directly from the iTunes library. It provides the option of browsing the library, for example by Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, Key or History. Dragging songs onto the turntables in djay, transforms them into virtual records complete with album art.
Automix[edit]
Automix mode enables djay to automatically mix songs from the iTunes library, and play them instantaneously with DJ-style transitions. Using the Automix Queue the user can step in any time and immediately queue up tracks.
Transitions[edit]
djay's instantaneous beat and tempo detection allows the user to match the BPM of two songs for a transition. On pressing the SYNC button the software automatically syncs the BPM of the two songs so that both are smoothly aligned.

And if you're missing a track, VirtualDJ will automatically find it on the Internet and stream it directly (.requires an additional subscription). And, using the millions of automatic reports we get every day from other VirtualDJ users around the world, it will give you meaningful advices on which songs other DJs consider to go well after what you just played.VirtualDJ can play not only audio tracks, but also video or karaoke, if you connect your computer to a projector or the club's screens. VirtualDJ is a DJ software for PC and MAC.It is used by DJs to replace their turntables and CD players, and use digital music instead of vinyl and CDs.In the same way that the CD players used by DJs have more options than a regular Hi-Fi CD player, VirtualDJ has more options than a simple media player like iTunes. It lets you 'mix' your songs, by playing two or more tracks at the same time, adjust their relative speed so that their tempo will match, apply effects like loops etc, and crossfade from one side to the other. It also lets you scratch your songs, set and recall cues, and all the other regular features DJs expect to find to be able to mix.It will let you organize your collection of tracks and group them easily in a DJ-friendly way, using filter to find the hot songs, or find compatible bpm or key, access your previous playlists, etc. 
Harmonic Match[edit]
The software can automatically detect a song's key and matches it to songs of the same key within the iTunes music library. It also allows the user to transpose songs into different keys, and even sort the entire music library by key.
