Script to preview the next song while DJing with iTunes
OK, the above hints are all great, just a little time consuming. DJs have to make quick decisions ;)
Here's a simple script I wrote which simply opens the selected tracks in Quicktime. As per the above hints, the script allows powerbook DJ's to preview upcoming over their headphones without interrupting the floor music. Here's a recap: 1) You will need to purchase a second audio output. For instance:
2) set Quicktime to output to headphones and iTunes to output to speaker using Rogue Amoeba's Detour (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/detour/download.php). ORwith iTunes 4.6, connect an airport express to your loudspeaker system and set iTunes to play to it. 3) Paste this script in applescript editor, and save it to your home/library/iTunes/scripts folder 4) Use this script to open selected files in Quicktime, which will now play in your headset while iTunes continues to play over the speakers!
Party on peeps!
Preview the next song while DJing with iTunes
Thanks to Cedalex & PopularEthics! Both are very clever solutions to something I've been trying to figure out for awhile -- which is have iTunes play the music in Party Shuffle mode, but be able to preview songs in Headphones to add to the list. I let iTunes handle the crossfades...although it doesn't do a great job, it works, (does anyone else find iTunes crossfading wierd?) |
