Playing a DJ is fun to do, but less fun to pay. Good equipment can easily cost hundreds of euros and then you’re also stuck with vinyl records of half a kilometer in diameter or – if you’ve really dug deep into your pocket – maybe even CDs. That should be better thought the makers of djDecks, a program with which anyone with a PC can turn themselves into a DJ. The software can handle MP3, OGG Vorbis, WMA and standard Wave files, so finding suitable music is no problem at all.
Yesterday version 0.65 of djDecks was released, which brought with it a nice list of improvements, such as a fix for the problems the program had with using skins. The website provides us with the following changelog:
