I'm pleased to announce the latest release of xwax -- DJ software for 
Linux.

The most significant new feature is the ability to navigate the music 
library by tempo (beats-per-minute, BPM)

xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and 
turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC 
and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded 
vinyls.

It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch 
changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel 
just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself.

The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and 
fast.

Users of xwax 1.3 may also be interested in a simple and convenient tool 
to detect the tempo of music files:
