Hey guys,

My brother is getting married in july and well I need to find a way to be able DJ later that night. There will be a band most of the night but once they leave I have to dj and I need a software so I can use my laptop and my MP3 music collection to mix and play for the crowd.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should use for it?

I found a decent one called virtual DJ . If someone knows a better one or wants this one let me know and i ll upload it for you.

i don't know if this is the one u have & i haven't tried this out. but it might help.
