Man. I was looking too, while playing around with GDAM. I couldn't find
it easily either, maybe it should be mentioned more prominently ;)

Man. I'm impressed too, I had much fun playing around with it at home.
Now I want to DJ :-)

Really though, I think the approach to beatmatching is nice, and the
general integration of the concept of time-in-beats throughout the app
(as opposed to time-in-seconds) was a lot more useful musically. Nice
work!

What's with the purple, though? I was raving about it in #gstreamer on
friday, and people couldn't get past the colors ;)
