OtsDJ
Pros: Bulletproof code in a small footprint, EXTREMELY STABLE, great sound due to excellent dynamics processing, automated mixing, volume management, fantastic segueing via excellent mix-point detection, smooth sound, good playlist generation
Cons: Doesn't do auto-beatmixing (YET - it's right around the corner...check out OtsDJ Auto-Beatmixing Sample), both decks go through one output channel, only supports LAME encoder

AlcaTech BPM Studio Profi 4.9x.
I'm stupid. It's ease of use out-of-box and friendly familiar graphical user interface (which resembles a Denon dual CD player) eliminated a long learning curve.
I'm stupid. I still don't know how to use all it's features (it's been 5 years with it) but that's okay too. I don't do fancy gimmicky things, partially as I don't want to and partially because I don't know how to utilize or unlock the software's full potential. No excuses except I be igorant.

Does anyone's software automatically generate a "played song list" in an .mu3 or .pls file at the end of your show? In other words, at the end of the night, there's a generated list of every song you played, in the order you played them, that can be edited, saved, and archived?

Virtual DJ does that automatically, its an xml file and is diplayed by the date in your browser as a playlist.

Apolgies to all for a little deliberately misleading question.
I wanted to point out to your viewers that a self-generated end-of-performance playlist is a very intelligent thing to need and should be a consideration in software tool selection. BPM does have it and it is a political and reputational lifesaver.
