Traktor Pro, DJay, etc. are more for live entertainment fun with a DJ present.
Interface is 90ies, I agree on that ;-)
But Traktor also does not look especially "nice", to be honest.

Dropouts are gone(!) on my Mac with the new 4.0.2.
(If you still have dropouts, try how it is with "keep drives spinning" OFF in the prefs.)
Also the developer is now very responsive to reports and questions.
Since this were the only main points annoying me with the app, and they are gone, I can now update my personal rating to a full 5 stars. I start really loving this toy.

nice and clean interface. great for a half-automatic party with the ability to drop in special songs from a wishlist at a given order or given time!! (think of a midnight special at a birthday party)... much superior to iTunes in that respect.
bad:
still Dropouts on my MacBookPro at many songs and/or certain button clicks
does not sync nicely yet with iTunes (tons of errors with importing tags and stuff)
search features could be much improved.
If the few bugs are removed it will be my favourite toy for private party dj-ing...
You should also check out Disco XT, that one goes the same direction with it's automatic playlist... At the moment I prefer the UI of Megaseg but Disco XT has no dropouts and that counts.

But if you're running a commercial radio, broadcasting 24h/day, the price is just a joke !
This app is VERY stable, the database is tweakable, the level of customization is good, etc...
I was on the move to leave the mac platform for broadcasting uses until I've found this jewel !

I'm having some difficulties with MegaSeg 3.1.6 on a MacMini running MacOS X - 10.3.4 I belive it was. I'm trying to understand anything about what is going on. Could you elaborate some on what characteristics I should expect from an application built of RealBasic? The issue I am having is that from time to time it just stops playing music for about 30 seconds with the spinning rainbow disk, and then it resumes.
What I have observed with Activity Monitor is that when it is open, and not doing anything it consumes 15% of the CPU. When it is playing music, it takes 20%. The 15% is puzzling. I would expect an idle application to take nearly nothing while waiting for an input event. Is this related to a behavior you would expect from RealBasic?
The other observation from Activity Monitor is that MegaSeg seems to run either 4 or 5 threads when idle, and 1 more thread when playing music. You can reliably start and stop the playlist and see the thread count go up and down by 1, and simultaneously the CPU usage goes up and down by 5%. When it goes into the aberrant "stopped playing" mode, the CPU usage flutters down in the 0-1% range and the number of threads drops to 1 less than the normal idle thread count (3 or 4).
If you or anyone else out there could shed any light on MacMini issues or RealBasic issues or specific MacOS version issues that might be at play here, I'd be most appreciative.
Oh. Other symptoms and environmental things are:
This is being run on a very restricted account which can only run MegaSeg (I specifically enabled the ability to run Activity Monitor to see what was happening). I have run Disk Utility and Repaired the disk Permissions. I have booted it in safe mode to attempt to kill any rogue processes. I have cleaned out the MegaSeg logs. None of this had any noticeable effect.
The 30 second episodes were first noticed at a rate of a few episodes per day, which was annoying. Over the past several weeks, it has progressed to several (5-15) episodes per hour, which is unusable. The music is on an external disk. The music is in wave format. The library contains almost 18000 songs. MegaSeg is set to keep all disks spinning.
