Free dj software for linux

BPM-DJ script combines Amarok with a great DJing tool called BPM-DJ.

So if you want to play DJ with your collection, this could be one way:).

The BPM-DJ player can change tempo, jump around in a track by measures, detect the bpms, has some effects built in and can jump to definable cueing points.

The script adds a menu entry to the context menu of tracks in your playlist with which you can put the selected track on a "virtual turntable" (kbpm-play).
The script just executes kbpm-play with the right parameters -very simple but useful.

You need BPM-DJ for this script to make sense. Check out: http://bpmdj.sourceforge.net

Usage:

Right-click on the track in your playlist, select BPM-DJ and then choose Deck1 or Deck2 to put that track on one of your "virtual turntables" kbpm-play.

BpmDj is a program that can be used to DJ. It works under Linux and plays Mp3s/Oggs. It has a fully automatic BPM counter.

It can determine the sound color. BmpDj has a full fledged QT based interface. BmpDj will help you manage a large amount of songs.

Further it can help in creating playlist and has proven to be very robust. The program also allows offline automatic mixing and contains a wavelet based beat graph analyzer to visualize audio tracks.

Fair DJ is an Mserv-compatible music server designed to play music in a room with several users sharing a set of speakers.

The users can rate songs, and Fair DJ selects songs using these ratings and a fairness algorithm to ensure that everybody is happy.

FairDJ is an extended version of Mserv, written in the Java programming language.

Installation:

Starting fairdj for the first time will create a settings file in your users home directory. FairDJ will print out a helpful location message specifying the path to this file. Since you most likely want to edit this file before starting Fair DJ for real, weve included a helpful install option which simply exits after creating the settings file.

Start FairDJ with the following command line:

java -jar fairdj.jar -install

FairDJ should exit after logging a message specifying where the settings file was written. To specify another location for this settings file, use the settings option:

java -jar fairdj.jar -settings < settings file >

Edit the settings file by hand, using your favourite XML/Text editor, to point to wherever you want to store your ratings, where your music is, and where your user database should be. The settings file is fairly well commented and should provide you with the information you need to configure your Fair DJ installation. The new user database will be empty, and only the default user and password, as specified in the settings file, will be valid.

To get help on the available options, use the help option:

java -jar fairdj.jar -help [< option >]

To connect to FairDJ, connect with a telnet client to the specified port (default 4444), for example:

telnet localhost 4444

Log in with your default user and password. To get help on the available commands in FairDJ, type "help" followed by enter in the telnet client.

Start by creating a superuser (master), and a user for yourself. They can be the same if you want to. Here is an example:

create myuser mypass MASTER

Known issues:
* Ogg tag support has not been verified.
* Equalizer has not been implemented.

DJ Jack is a free audio player suite for the JACK audio server and the GNOME desktop.

Dj Jacks main goal is to provide a simple and powerful set of programs to professional DJs playing at parties and clubs. Designed with simplicity and usability in mind.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

DBMix project is a DJ mixing system for digital audio. DBMix allows a user to output multiple simultaneous audio streams on a single sound device, and to transform/modify each stream independently. There are five main components to DBMix:
- Fourier Synthesis Daemon - this is a daemon application that handles adding multiple data streams into a single data stream for output, allowing you to play multiple songs simultaneously with a single soundcard. Each data input stream to the fourier synthesis daemon is refered to as a "channel", because this is the name given to each input to an analog DJ Mixer.
- Clients - responsible for creating input to the system, and writing the data to a dbfsd channel. Example generators are xmms, mpg123, and sox.
- DBAudiolib - this is the client interface API to dbmix. It provides transparent format conversion and pitch/speed control.
- Mixer - the mixer is the user interface to the DBMix system. It allows a single interface to control all input channels. An example of a mixer is the DBMixer application. DBMixer allows the user to mute, change volume, cue, and crossfade inputs
- Peripherals - hardware devices that you can use to control aspects of dbmix. See the section on exmixer below for and example.
Main features:
- Output multiple audio channels (up to 8 inputs) using a single sound device
- Cueing support using multiple soundcards. (ability to have one sound device used for a master output, and a second sound device for headphones)
- Cueing support using a single soundcard.
- Supports the standard digital audio format of 16bit signed data at 44.1 KHz
- Use of the Open Sound System for sound device control
- Session recording to a wav file (controlled by the dbmixer options menu)
- A single DJ Mixer style GUI interface for controlling DBMix channels.
- Independent channel controls: volume/gain/level, pitch/speed control +/- 10%mute, cue, and pause.
- IPC layer to allow the mixer to control the play/pause/stop/etc of dbmix client programs.
- Crossfader
- Punch buttons (allows you to add in the muted crossfader input. Handy for popping in sound bytes)
- Control of master and cue soundcard mixers
- Swap master and cue soundcards on the fly
- Autofade buttons with fade speed control
- L/R Balance control
- Clipping notification
- The mixer is optionally controled by an external device. See section titled Exmixer.
- Digital Sampler with start/end editing abilities, and Load/Save samples
- Beat matching synchronization tools (sorry no UI yet)
- Multiple client support: xmms output plugin, mpg123, dbcat, terminatorX, gqmpeg (Note: to use gqmpeg, openthe preferences dialog, choose the Output tab, and enter "-s" in the User options field to enable output to stdout. To launch gqmpeg, type "gqmpeg | dbcat &" at the command prompt)
- speed/pitch control.
- format conversion from:
- 8 bit signed mono and stereo data
- 8 bit unsigned mono and stereo data
- 16 bit signed mono and stereo data
The following features will be included in future versions of DBMix:
- ALSA sound system output support.
- Network client support
- freeBSD port
- Icecast support

libnjb is a C library and API for communicating with the Creative Nomad JukeBox and Dell DJ digital audio players under Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows.
The protocol these devices use is presumably called PDE (Portable Digital Entertainment protocol) at Creative. Newer devices using the Microsoft MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) are NOT supported.
There are no kernel devices required for libnjb:s operation, so instead it depends on user-level USB using libusb on all platforms. The following platforms are currently supported:
FreeBSD and NetBSD. FreeBSD is the primary development platform, though NetBSD users have successfully built and run the library and sample applications.
OpenBSD has not been tested, but if it uses the same USB stack as the other BSDs, then it should work fine.
Linux works fine. (Note that libusb also requires that users mount the usbdevfs filesystem, which everybody should have as default nowadays.)
MacOS X (Darwin) is also supported and works fine.
Solaris is supported through Sun:s own reimplementation of libusb.
Working Devices:
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 1 (aka D.A.P.)
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 2
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen USB 2.0
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra
- Creative Zen Touch
- Creative Zen Micro
- Creative Zen Sleek
- Creative Zen
- Dell Digital Jukebox ("Dell DJ")
- Second Generation Dell DJ
- Dell Pocket DJ
NOT SUPPORTED:
- Creative Zen Portable Media Center
- Creative Zen MicroPhoto
- Any other MTP device
Newer devices have a 2.x MTP/PlaysForSure firmware upgrade - we do not support MTP so please dont install it!

GJay (Gtk+ DJ) generates playlists across a collection of music (ogg, mp3, wav) such that each song sounds good following the previous song.
GJay project is ideal for home users who want a non-random way to wander large collections or for DJs planning a set list.
You can generate playlists from within the application, or run GJay as a standalone command-line utility.
Playlist matches are based on:
Song characteristics that dont change
Frequency fingerprint
Beats per minute
Location in file system
Song attributes that you set
Rating
Color (whatever that means to you)
Currently, GJay only works under Linux. There are plans afoot to get it working on MacOS.
Enhancements:
Bugs:
- Color saturation was being factored in _way_ too much for playlist generation (thanks to William Thomas for pointing this out)
- Fix case where some long analysis runs were not getting written to data.xml properly (sourceforge bug 698761)
Features:
- Make playlist time 4 digits wide so users can have extra-long lists (sourceforge bug 745364)
- Use both inode and dev for identifying symlinks (debian bug 227122)
