    Hi all,

    I pretty much agree with Olaf's comments. Beatmatching
    acid jazz tunes is not only just about impossible,
    it's pretty much beside the point. Come up with a
    great program FIRST, then just crossfade or hardcut
    the tracks. I'd much rather hear a killer program that
    wasn't beatmatched than a half-assed program that was
    seamless. Content matters.

    Take Care-----Paul Berger---
