Simple Radio-Station Style Audio Mixer?

[RaggTagg]

Does anyone know of a simple Windows 7-compatible (preferable, but Mac possibly) program that allows me to simply run a radio station type audio show; an old-school audio mixer...attach a microphone, cue up a song, introduce the song, play the song and cue up the next song. Need volume controls for mic, and two song banks. A VU meter would be nice.

All the "mixer" apps I see are either editors (like Audacity, which I love for actually editing audio, BTW) or elaborate DJ mixers with beat matching, cross fades, blah blah blah (and usually no mic input).

...I don't actually want to "broadcast" an internet radio station (or any type of radio station, actually)...here's the thing:

I host pub trivia and currently play music from my laptop, which is output to an audio mixer where I have a microphone plugged in. So that's where I mix my mic and music; I "blah blah blah," play a song, "blah blah blah," play another song, etc. The output of the mixer then goes to the pub's sound system. If I had a software mixer on the laptop that would allow me to plug in a mic and mix it with songs stored on the computer I could eliminate the external mixer.

Would MixPad possibly work? http://www.nch.com.au/mixpad/

Corkyg, thanks for the suggestion. I will look into this software further, but it appears to be designed for audio production rather than a live audio mixer.

I think 'Audacity' has a player or recorder as that? I don't know which you want to use? They have a free & pay version, Back in the XP days, I used audacity to convert cassette tapes to wave files. I then converted those wave files, to itune files (ACC).

The only Audacity app I'm familiar with is the editor/processor. It's great, but it's not designed for live production.

I can't say I know of a piece of software for you, but you might want to search specifically for DJ software, and see if anything fits the bill.
