CNET Editors' review
The virtual DJ setup of OtsTurntables Free lets you mix and tweak your own MP3s to make you sound like a world-class turntablist. The interface emulates a real-life setup of two turntables and a mixer. Each turntable has pitch, tempo, and direction control. There also are play, stop, and auto-fade controls, and the program comes with virtual outboard gear such as a power amplifier, a graphic equalizer, and a dynamics processor. The free version limits the dynamics processor to compression and gain control, however. Quirky effects such as Surface Noise, Various Scratches, and Needle Noise are interesting. We liked the auto-DJ function, which automatically crossfades between tracks. You can add individual files, CDs, streaming playlists (M3Us), or folders to the playlist. The program supports WAV and MP3 files, as well as its proprietary Ots format. Though this version appears feature-limited compared to the paid versions, OtsTurntables Free is a solid player for both newbies and laptop DJs.

"Almost interesting"
Version: OtsTurntables Free 1.0.048
Pros
Some of the effects
Cons
The auto DJ is an amateur.
Summary
The whole point in my downloading this program was because I would like to effortlessly mix some of my music but do not have the talent to do it myself. For this reason the idea of the auto DJ appealed to me. OTS claims it will not just blindly overlap the songs to join them but actually analyze them for what I thought would be a smooth transition all the while playing itself as a true mix. What I found was that it allows one song to reach the end and then immediately follow the song with the next one in the playlist. I could have done that! That is not a mix. Thats just playing break free music which is easily accomplished by anyone by simply removing any silence at the begining and end of every track and removing pauses between tracks. Anyone with most any standard media player can do this. So what is the point in using OST? A TRUE Auto DJ will match the song beats and blend them together long enough for the listener to (nearly) identify the next song while the last song finishes. If you want a program to add some effects to your music this will suffice but if you want mixing done for you, keep looking.
