There's two different pro-level programs, terminatorX (which I wrote the
quicktoot for), and also Gdam, which is just as good as PCDJ. Final
scratch pro is really expensive, while terminatorx and gdam are gpl. Gdam
is quicker to load files and supports mutliple soundcards (one for
playback and one for cueing). TerminatorX can use cueing via a stereo
splitter and both also have their own beatmatching mechanisms.

Thanks Patrick:
I actually own one now that I'm using under M$ W2k.
I am interested in migrating my pro DJ setup to Linux, at least as an
alternate to PCDJ under M$. The other issues would be that there's no
pro-level MP3 DJ package (that I know of for Linux). The other challenge
is setting up IEEE1394 external storage support under Linux.
You may have heard of FinalScratch, but it seems that it's still buggy,
difficult to set up, and expensive. It also does not permit storage of
MP3s anywhere but the OS partition.
I was delighted to discover this list. Thanks again, Patrick, for the reply,

Are there linux drivers for this USB device?
At least one user has reported success with it but we haven't heard from
him for a while so we don't know the exact current status.
If you are looking at USB but don't know which one to go for the maudio
quattro has been working pretty well fo a while now. Although there are
some problems caturing with current cvs which were not there two weeks ago.
The ALSA USB audio code is known to work but many cards are still in
testing stage so you may have to do some debugging if you buy a USB device
at the moment. It's not so bad if you are have the time to spare.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We
want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've
ever done.
