Auto DJ software I can’t use

Ask the DJ is an idea I’ve had before but assumed would be difficult to implement. It’s iTunes/MacOS-X only - hence the title - and so I still don’t know how difficult it would be to do well.

Unlike any other software, Ask the DJ analyses beats to perform truly seamless transitions between tracks. Like a real DJ, it matches beats and adapts tempos whenever needed so the music always flows, even when cross-fading between tracks with different bpms.

Linux needs a media framework as inviting to developers as iTunes seems to be. Researchless, XMMS or Gstreamer come to mind as possible contenders.
