Product Description:

MegaSeg is a music mixer for mobile DJ's, radio stations, and anyone who needs total control over the music mix. MegaSeg features a library search and categorizing system to find requests instantly, and advanced music scheduling and events. Crossfade or beatmix using MegaSeg's multiple sound output support for cue and preview tracks.

What's new in this version:

Optimized several areas of code, including list displays, search engine, and Segue events. Highly optimized loading library code at startup. After initial launch of 3.0.1, loading the database is now 8 times faster! Also the load and save library progress dialogs show the percentage of progress.
When using Discrete Output Mode, it no longer requires the cross fader to be in the center to get output from the Next track (as was the case in version 2.x and before).
The Minimum Artist Separation rule can again be set longer than 99 minutes, but now warns of issues that can occur when doing so.
Fixed an issue when more than 6 rule breakers are processed in a row where it would start removing tracks prematurely from the playlist.
Unicode characters are fully supported in ID3 tags.
Fixed disappearing menu bar bug when using Audio Hijack or NiceCast to launch MegaSeg.
Fixed a multi-select edit bug when trying to set the sound level of multiple files that would not set them to the desired level, but to a lower level. Also it will now allow you to deselect the Restrict Play Date option and Fade-Override option when performing a multi-select edit.
The Fade-override option is working correctly again.
Opening and closing the Mixer interface multiple times or viewing the Play History chart no longer cause any audio issues, especially on slower systems.
Fixed various problems that would occur when the International system settings were set to use something other than a '.' period as the decimal point separator.
Drag-n-drop between Library and Playlist is more responsive when dragging quickly.
When opening a playlist schedule, if a category is empty, it now skips that category instead of scheduling a blank position.
When opening an iTunes playlist, it no longer has problems with tracks that have only a title (no artist).
Fixed a bug that prevented the type to select feature from working correctly in large libraries when punctuation was in the title.
Added ability to Drag-n-drop from playlist preview into request list.
Restrict play date warnings now appear in a report window instead of a dialog.
The Mixer Deck's timers now display the intro countdown.
Resolved an issue when a scheduled event fires, opening the Events tab in the Preferences or closing the Preferences window during the same minute the event fired causes it to re-fire the event.
When setting the BPM for the current playing track, it now displays a dialog when the tapping is complete to prevent the mistake of stopping the current song with the spacebar.
Fixed bug that prevented the AGC from disabling during a fade-in effect, or potentially cause a 'blip' during an extra long fade-in.
Fixed error when printing a playlist that contained "Playlist Breaks".
In mixer, keyboard shortcut 'M' (for memory button 1) now changes the status of the memory button to on, if not already.
Sorting the log by time or date now works correctly. Also blank lines no longer sort to top.
When searching, titles with parenthesis in them can be found without including the parenthesis in the search.
In the Scheduler, when saving a playlist schedule that was originally generated using the main playlist editor, and contained Playlist Breaks, it no longer looses them.
Fixed a bug that could cause an error when closing the Edit Media window with Command-period.
Fixed minor (harmless) error message that reported a Missing Object when using Refresh Library import option.
Command-; to rewind the playlist's Cue Position no longer causes it to multi-select tracks.
Fixed a potential problem that could cause a "Shoebox Reshuffle" error.
The Search Notes dialog no longer conflicts with Mixer display.
Fixed a bug when dragging tracks from the Log or Open Playlist window into the main Playlist while the playlist was empty would cause it to fail to cue the track, and prevent the playlist from starting.
Mic attenuation now scales the current volume to the % of attenuation, rather than the percent of total volume.
Event list files can now use an extension of .evn to allow selecting files that are transfered via FTP, and lose their Mac Type and Creator codes.
Fixed an incompatibility with the preference file when using an older version of MegaSeg after using MegaSeg 3.0.
Revised the new PDF manual.
Other minor interface changes.

The problem is that its development has stagnated & Freeze - Version: 4.5.1, 7/12/2008 09:25AM PST

Megaseg have a good concept, Can use DJ, VJ & Radios, but with Megaseg the problem is that its development has stagnated, for example:

- Don't have automatic bpm detetctor

- Can't mix Videos, don't have transitiosn fxs

- Don't have the option to administer remote for make playlist in other computer and them send a load in master Megaseg Mac.

- Nothing about Digital Signage

- Slow mail support.

Megaseg can be a pro Software with more development, but i believe with the passage of time it could die, with as much competition outside

Hi,
I have used this app for my radio. I find it is difficult to use. It is also difficult to customise it.
What really annoys me is when the computer makes a back up of its files on a external HD, Megaseg start to have problems: music stop playing for a while then start again or it stop working and the only way to get out of this situation is to force it to quit and run it again.

Support is not good - Version: 4.1, 4/3/2008 01:27PM PST

I actually think this is a very good application. It does almost everything it claims. It is stable and has some very good features. My issue is that the support is bad. I had been in touch with the customer support (writer) who brushed me and my issue off and I have not seen a new version since... well look for your self... a year and a half. If you plan to use this application professionally, I advice you consider some of the other apps out there. Oh, I would also like to mention I feel I was ripped off due to the high price. these other apps only cost 1/4 of what this one charges. I thought I was going to get more for my buck, but I was fooled.
