JDJ - an instance of Alternative Turn-table
This page introduces an application which models
the turn-table for Night-Club DJ
as an expression using Java Language.
"JDJ- an instance of Alternative Turn-table" downloads and plays
music data provided on the Internet. You can insert and play your original
disc as well.

Known problem
- No monitor-out
- JDJ doesn't have monitor-out to check the preparing track.
That is because the JMF Player API has only one output line,
but this problem could be solved when the
Java
Sound API which is being prepared so far is generally available.
- Only a few sound formats are supported
- The JMF packages listed above are all in beta release at this time
and not fully functional. The future revision and general availability
are expected.
- Cannot mix two tracks (Windows95/NT)
- According to
Intel's words,
this is because ActiveMovie 1.0 on Windows95/NT
doesn't support mixing function at this point. Have to wait for the future
fixes.
Further extensions
I'd like to implement the following functions if possible.
- Net-wide broadcasting through stream
- A virtual dance club could be equipped by broadcasting tracks
mixed with JDJ...
- VRML support
- People can dance along with music on the VRML multi-player server ;).
Your impressions and opinions about JDJ are welcome.
