Professional DJ software?

[kleinwl]

A friend of mine DJs on the weekends and would like to rip all his music to a SFF computer and play it off of that. Is there any DJ software that is recommended for professional use (within reason, $1000 or less).

Thanks!

If he wants to just use a computer to play and mix his sound files, then Traktor is probably the way to go.

If he wants to play music files off a computer and still have a vinyl like experience, i.e. using a record like interface to control mp3s, then Final Scratch or Rane Serato is the way to go.
