Straight from the MegaSeg website, here’s a full description of the software:

MegaSeg is an elegant mixing and playlist scheduling system for anyone who needs total control of the mix. It allows you to customize and simplify your user experience like no other, and perform live segues or beat-mix between songs and videos for a professional presentation.

The new MegaSeg 4.0 version includes Universal Binary support, ambient video playback, a robust set of color coding and library display options, faster access to your iTunes music and playlists, MIDI controller support, improved looping and pitch-lock, network syncing, and many other improvements.

Eye Candy

The new Ambient Video Playlist feature gives you continuous video output. This will automatically display Quicktime or MPEG compatible videos, Flash animations, or still images when playing audio only tracks in the main playlist. Connect your Mac to a video projector or second monitor, and keep your audience’s eyes and ears entertained at all times.

Dynamic Music Scheduling

Use MegaSeg for total control over the scheduling and mixing of music, video, and announcements. MegaSeg’s powerful feature set includes intuitive management of song rotation, timed playlist events, instant sound effect with Hot Keys, easy playlist rules for artist separation, request lists, and iTunes compatible playlists.

Rock Steady

System stability is key. MegaSeg is a stable and very easy to use system. Unlike many crash-prone DJ programs, MegaSeg is built from the ground up to work on the powerful UNIX-based system, Mac OS X. Our customers praise MegaSeg’s rock solid performance, intuitive features, and clean design.

Preview Before Play

If you need to cue or preview tracks before you play them, MegaSeg has Multiple Output support for simultaneous Cue and Program channels. With your system’s built-in output and a second output, you can preview songs in your headphones at any time. [Read More]

Mix It Up

MegaSeg’s real-time beat mixing allows you to mix with automatic or manual cross-fades. The Mixer includes an Auto-BPM button to match the tempo of the next and current songs. With MegaSeg, you are in full control of your mix.

The Perfect Hardware

MegaSeg is designed to run on the Mac, the most stable and easy to use systems around. Why not a typical PC? Contrary to popular belief, Macs are competitively priced and cheaper to own in the long run (less technical problems and better productivity). Not to mention Macs are much more stable and easier to use. If you haven’t seen a Mac lately, just visit your local Apple Store and try one. You can download the MegaSeg demo right in the store.
