Would anybody on here using the DJ software for the Mac fill me in a little on where to get and how to use it? Is it dependant on the ITunes Library, or can it be used otherwise?
you can get it by downloading it off of torrents.
also, it as far as i know yes needs iTunes. if you wish you can add me on Skype and i can send you DJ. it's got a key and everything. or you can go and get it like i said off of torrents. my Skype id is djtimothy1 oh, i should point out that i do not enforce

I'm not sure what software you're talking about. If you're referring to the iTunes DJ, then it can be found in iTunes. If it's not listed in the sources pannel, you can turn it on in the preferences for iTunes. But please not this is perhaps not DJ software as you imagine. It basically just creates a never ending play list to which iTunes continuly adds random tracks. You can add tracks yourself, and you can allow anyone on your network to add tracks and vote on existing ones with the iTuens DJ Party function. If you google for iTunes DJ I'm sure you'll find a host of resources. I ddi.

I fricken hate ITunes as a player. why? Simple. ITunes is too damn library dependent. Let me explain. When I add stuff to the ITuens Library, it puts files where it wants too; not where I want it too. I don't want ITunes creating subfolders where I didn't ask for them. I have a large number of untagged files which are just lose, and, they are exactly where I want them. I can't add stuff to my ITunes library without having copies duplicated to that ITunes library; because, every single time I try to add files without allowing ITunes to copy them, ITunes crashes. I just do not have space enough on my drive to have two copies of everything floating around everywhere.
What I want is this.
Give me a player which will allow me to open files from the regular browser window; in the app if necessary, and, allow me to cue up one file after the other instead of playing it immediately. I keep saying this; but, no one seems to quite understand what I want.
Cog is the player that comes the closest to what I want; but, it sometimes crashes, and, doesn't allow cross fading or overlapping. VLC appears not to have those things either.

The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Sure it is that. but, I would need some slight overlap and cross fading also; and, cog will not do that. They never bothered to get back to me when I asked them to put those things in.

I too once felt like that. Back on my Windows machine, I had all my music and audiobooks organised into folders in Windows explorer just the way I liked them. I would just play them from Windows explorer.
But I got over that.
I had to switch to iTunes mainly in order to sync with my iPod and iPhone. But I’m glad I did.
It’s been an involved an on-going process. It could’ve been a lot less painful if I knew then what I knew now.
However, I reckon you should probably make the effort and get into iTunes. It has all those cross fading and play list features you’re looking for, plus a whole lot more. It’s really very good once you set it up properly (i.e. tag all your media) and learn to use it.
I think the main things you need to get used to are:
1. Once you’ve tagged your media sufficiently, you don’t need to worry how the files are organised in Finder. Because you’ll just access them through iTuens. Even if things aren’t tagged perfectly, the search function is fairly robust and you should be able to find most of your music. The tagging can be a tedious process, but it will allow you to do some pretty cool things with smart play lists etc once you’re done.
2. If you really want to keep your media files in your own file/folder arrangement, it can be done. The settings can be found in the advanced panel of the iTunes preferences. It should’ve make iTunes crash.
If you do decide to move your media into iTunes, I’d suggest reading the host of articles on iTunes on the MacWorld website, or even downloading the Take Control of iTunes book from www.takecontrolbooks.com/

On a related subject, where can I find a good tagging program that I can use on files before iTunes grabs them? Yes, you can tag a file after it is loaded in iTunes but then you have to go and find the file first. It would be much easier if I could use an stand-alone app or something to tag them first. Right now, the only thing I can think of using would be something like id3v2 from the terminal command-line. Any ideas?

Darcy Burnard recommended ID3 Editor by Pa-software, which can also be
run from a command line interface, if you wish:
http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/ ID3 Editor v1.18.18 £10.00 (GBP), €12.00 (Euro) or $15.00 (USD)
By the way, an easy way to locate tracks you've just added to iTunes
is to navigate to the "Recently Added" smart playlist in the sources
table. Then move to the corresponding songs table with VO-Command-T.
This is simply a smart playlist that keeps track of items you've added
to iTunes, that are not podcasts, in the last two weeks, by default in
time order. You could always edit the rules to change the time
interval, or to make your own smart playlist criteria.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Yeah, I found out that recently and found that to be handy for some files I recently brought in and found not to have any tag info on them. Thanks for the mention of this editor; have to give it a look.

If such a program existed I’d be really upset because it would have saved me so much time and effort when switching to using iTunes.
IN Windows 7 you can, however, add some limited tags to music files in Windows Explorer. It’s limited to artist, title and genre, but this would be the main tags you’d want to use to keep your music organised when you import it into iTunes. This process of tagging in Windows Explorer is a little tricky from an accessibility stand point (at least with JAWS), but it’s doable.
The other app you may be interested in is Song Genie, which will help tag your music once it is in iTunes.

You're a lifesaver! If this does what I hope it'll do, I'm gonna owe you one!
Looking as I am at the web site, you might a just literally saved a client of mine about $200 of studio time, as now I can manually edit the tags of his upcoming disc for digital distribution.
