yeah it's pretty cool. you can also use it as a regular music player. if you toggle autoplay, it will automatically keep playing the next track in your track list. supports uploading local libraries and youtube, and recording, uploading and sharing mixes.

I mean, you theoretically still could have that, USB decks send MIDI signals (even though I found it a bit obtuse trying to get my FLX4 to control anything except VirtualDJ - I was trying to map it to grandMA lighting controls). The TUI here could be primarily a presentation layer. I think the main benefits would be a) more hackable than VirtualDJ and b) it looks cool.
