[Glen Millar]

*** Ots Corporation would like to announce that OtsDJ 1.0.170, a special
pre-release, is available for download at the new OtsDJ.com website.

This is a pre-release of our next major update coming in a few months time,
although this pre-release itself contains some significant functionality
which you will find well worth the download. This release has been made
available early due to a bundling deal we are involved with.

Features:

* MP3 & Wave file direct play support (no format conversion required)

* Ots Studio Windows XP bug fix and other fixes

* Miscellaneous fixes

Before downloading there are some IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CURRENT USERS
CONCERNING THIS UPDATE. (Take your time reading the release notes at the

Hopefully this is the start of something sweet.

Glen,

I downloaded the preview edition and tinkered with it a bit and just don't seem to like the program. For some reason, it feels like a little kid should be using the program. After install I had a sound problem, the music would flutter, after fixing the problem, I was importing some MP3's and the program would not play music at all, the display would indicate that a song was playing but no sound. I had to reboot to get any sound from my laptop.

I do like the scratch feature and think its great to be able to scratch using MP3's. The price isn't to bad 249.95 for OTSDJ 1.0 with a free upgrade to Pro 2.0 when it is released.

Enjoy!

Um, maybe I better wait until my gigs are over this week before I upgrade.

Maybe a good idea! (lol)

I downloaded and upgraded as I am part of the support team over at the OtsDJ Support forums but in reality, did not have to.

I am staying with the OtsDJ File format myself. Sure MP-3's will work now, but I still like being able to tell people that since the tracks are not MP-3 that no they will not work on their systems and no they can't have my copy of....

Just wanted to clear up my earlier post. Although I had some problems with OTSDJ, I was not slamming their software at all.

If anyone mis-understood I am sorry. Just wanted let our users know that there could always be problems even though it has been tested.

Enjoy!
