MegaSeg is a DJ music mixing program that allows you to consolidate your CD collection on the hard drive of your Macintosh. You can then segue (mix) between songs for a professional DJ presentation without the need for extra CD players or mixers. MegaSeg's scheduling features allow for prioritization of playback for certain songs or entire categories of music, coupled with the ability to start playlists and insert sound clip "jingles" at specified times. Elegant playlist rules allow the MegaSeg user to prevent two songs from the same artist playing too close together, a boon to music management. Radio stations, mobile DJs, restaurants and other businesses will find MegaSeg a powerful tool for creating dynamic playlists, music scheduling, and even automatically adjust the volume at different times of the day. For internet radio broadcasting, MegaSeg now updates playlist information on the fly for users of Live365.com, the popular broadcast streaming service.

New in v4.5

• Updated support for multiple audio output devices in the In/Output preferences.
• You can now set the Playlist display rows independently from the Library display rows setting.
• You can now drag-n-drop a track directly from iTunes into MegaSeg's Library, Playlist, or Decks.
• You can now drag a track directly from the Mixer decks back into the playlist or into the Hot Keys window, etc.
• Added new Day View feature that allows you to view the current event list as scheduled. For example, if the current event list has events which are scheduled to trigger on a certain date, in Day View mode, they will only display the events that match the current day shown. Or if a repeating event such as "x minutes past hour" is set, it will display that event for each hour of the day.
• Interface improvements including a new crossfader design in the Mixer view, default list view font size is now 13 point, and using a darker default background color for dialogs, lists, VUs, and mixer. The Open button has also been renamed "Playlists".
• Added support for the Apple Remote. Play = Segue to Next Song, Play Held Down = Stop Playlist, Left/Right = Playlist Cue Position, Left/Right Held Down = FF/REW, Up/Down = Volume, Menu = AutoSeg toggle.
• Redesigned the Set MIDI Control Codes dialog to use a listbox, as well as added more functions including discrete memory cue positions, loop in/out/exit, set cue, pitch return, mic on/off, master volume, and adjust playlist cue position.
• MIDI: Added support for controllers that use different channels or MIDI Status commands, with an option to use or ignore specific channel data.
• MIDI: Added presets for Behringer B-Control BCD-2000 & 3000, and the new Hercules DJ Console Rmx controllers.
• Added new AppleScript functions to control playback, open playlists, and insert tracks.
• Punctuation no longer interferes with type-to-select in the Library, as well as fixed a bug with type-to-select in the Playlist, where sometimes the selection would not be visible.
• Pressing Set BPM on the right deck no longer resets the pitch to 0% (if changed), since the tapper can compensate for any speed adjustments.
• Events: The Insert Randomized Playlist event no longer randomizes the entire playlist (both the existing and inserted portions together), and now only randomizes the inserted playlist as expected.
• Events: Sorting the Event List by the time column now gives correct results (not alphanumeric). And if you drag to change the order of the events, and it was sorted by one of the columns, it now properly deselects the sort selection.
• Shoutcast Logging: You can now enter two Shoutcast server URLs to send track data, each separated by a comma. (Same for the Username and Password fields, if different for each server).
• Fixed a bug with Live365 and Shoutcast Now Playing info that prevented data from sending in certain cases. Shoutcast logging feature now sends data with user-agent set to "Mozilla/4.0" for better compatibility, and added a Username field for servers that require full username and password authorization.
• Playlists: Added support for the .m3u playlist format (full path to file on a single line). Comment tags (#) are also ignored.
• DAC-3 support: Optimized the responsiveness of the DAC-3 pitch sliders, and pressing the pitch bend buttons on both decks at the same time no longer mixes up the values of each deck's pitch.
• DAC-3: Solved an pesky intermittent bug that caused the first button click to not respond after pressing a button on the opposing deck while the pitch controls were unmatched between the two.
• The Mic On/Off button no longer causes a lockup on PPC-Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger).
• In list views, the Time, BPM, and Play count fields now adjust with the font size setting (not fixed at 10 point).
• Fixed an issue with Hot Keys were there would be an extra start delay if Hot Keys were not used in a while.
• Optimized and added progress percentage to Remove Folders function.
• In Discrete output mode, the Mixer's output device labels update in real-time when you change the output preferences.
• Edit Categories dialog, adding a new category is no longer truncated to the first 20 characters.
• Fixed a bug when Enable Track Info Popups is checked, and clicking in the library or playlist can cause intermittent 1 or 2-second delays.
• When in Manual mode, and the video menu's option set to "Open When Video Plays", the video window will now close when the track ends rather than wait for the next non-video track to start.
• Fixed a delay when double clicking tracks from the library into the playlist.
• Solved a memory leak with certain threads (used for downloading URL events, etc.)
• Fixed the AutoSeg Trim function, which was failing due to changes in QuickTime that caused variations in the reported duration for many MP3 files. The AutoSeg Trim function has been adjusted to allow for duration inconsistencies.
• Spotlight iTunes importing now uses file's creation date rather than last-used date to filter recently added tracks to import.
• Playlists: Fixed a bug where if a track needs to be imported from a playlist, and that track appears in the playlist multiple times, it no longer creates duplicates of that track in the Library.
• When editing two or more tracks from the playlist at once, and the selection includes some Break tracks, the track count reported is now correct, as well as fixed an error if you try to edit two or more Break tracks in the Playlist.
• Fixed an error when trying to open a playlist and Prepend (prefix) it to the top of the existing playlist, when the existing playlist contains a Break track.
• Changed a startup error message to correctly report if the drive is full and MegaSeg can not write to the MegaSeg User Data folder.
• If there are missing tracks in a playlist, the playlist name is now displayed in the report.
• Fixed a bug in ID3 tag reading code that could sometimes leave an extra null character at the end of a field.
• Video: Fixed a bug when Hide Menu When Full Screen is checked, and the video window is set to "Always Closed", it would hide the menubar even when the video window is hidden.
• Video window's vertical size is now correct for movies.
• Edit window: Clicking Set button for End Time (segue) no longer subtracts .2 seconds from the time.
• Importing: Fixed a tag reading bug when importing Karaoke files that were encoded in QuickTime MOV format.
• Search field now shows its "Search" text hint at startup, and consistently when switching into browse category mode, etc.
• Other minor interface revisions.
