So, conceptually, using these rough rules and some of the tracks I have loaded on this machine... A theoretical progression (albeit, going the wrong way on the Camelot circle, I guess going clockwise is better than reverse clockwise).

Bee Gees - Stayin Alive - 104.38 F#m
Speedometer - Jungle fury - 104.0 A
Sly and the Family Stone - Thank you - 104.8 A
ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You 105.3 D
Dave Matthew Band - Crash - 105.7 G
Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane 105.8 D
Dire Straits - Southbound Again 106.8 G
Pick Up The Pieces - 107.0 E flat

Okay, here's the magic button! If you click on the magnet it turns on "quantize", which automagically syncs the two tracks you have selected by the beat. So, seamless transition between tracks.

(for number 3)

So, as far as I have been able to gather...

1. Match tempo (either the same tempo song, or close by and adjust both tracks to the same/similar tempo) ie BPM. On the software, you can actually force it to adjust.

2. Adjust cue point (where it starts)

3. Hit play at the right time?!?!?! (this is unclear... time to go look for YouTube videos). Figuring out timing is... haphazard.

Repeat ad infinitum (also, of course, figuring out which is the next track, and there's something about the key of the track which may or may not be important somehow).
