Real DJs don't use Winamp

Saw a topic a topic on the Winamp forums where someone said they were using Winamp to DJ at parties.

OMG! Are you seriously attempting to use Winamp To DJ with?

Man I bet your DJ sets suck the life and soul out of a party!

Another user replied to the post with this:

Real DJs don't use Winamp to DJ it doesn't crossfade properly

Indeed DJ's don't use Winamp to produce mixes or radio shows. We use other software that is built for the job.

I attempted to use Winamp over 20 years ago

There wasn't much choice of radio playout software and it just didn't do the job I wanted it to do.

I would regularly hear it repeating artists & songs, The crossfading between tracks in Winamp was just awful.

I'd end up with dead air of around 3-5 seconds between tracks.

SAM Broadcaster didn't fare much better... But that's another story.

Winamp is only any good as a media player for listening to Shoutcast streams.

While Winamp may have been a starting point for anyone who wanted to DJ 20 years ago.

There is better software than Winamp to DJ with.

Those are just a few of the programs available to DJ with. You can find others by searching Google.

Anyone who is serious about DJ work these days wouldn't even touch Winamp

If you use Winamp to DJ with then you'll end up sounding like an amateur who doesn't know what they're doing.
