You can BPM the songs in your Playlist by pressing the BPM button. The Playlist can be sorted by BPM, Artist, or Title, in ascending or descending order. Just press the column heading to sort.

There is also a Waitlist in DJ6900. Songs can be cued up and put in a specific play order in the Waitlist. Songs can be sent to the Waitlist by selecting 1 or more songs and pressing the WL+ button or right clicking on the Playlist. The play order of the Waitlist can be changed by selecting a song and using the up and down buttons. Toggling between the Playlist and Waitlist is done with tht WL/PL button.

Songs can be removed from the Playlist or WaitList by selecting 1 or more songs and pressing the L- button. Songs can be sent to either player by selecting 1 song and then right clicking. Double clicking on a song will send it to the next available player. If neither player is available then the song is sent to the Waitlist. A player is available if it is Closed, Stoped, or Loaded. Songs will automaticly load into a player from the Waitlist when a player finishes playing and if there are songs in the waitlist.

In autoplay mode, songs in the Waiting list will be played first and in order. If there are no songs in the Waitlist then songs will be choosen randomly form the Playlist.

Mixer  
There is a built in Mixer in DJ6900. There are volume fader for both players and a crossfader. The crossfader is used to perform smooth manual trasitions between players. The Mixer has 7 pre-programed crossfades. Crossfades are described below in 1 - 7. The VU Meters and a numerical value for the volume setting are displayed on the Mixer. Hot keys for the mixer are described here.

1 Hardcut crossfade to Player B * This transition type is not really a crossfade.
    When used, playback switches from one track to the next without a crossfade.

2 Linear crossfade to Player B * The linear crossfade is the most popular type. The
    ending track fades out with a linear curve, while the following track fades in with a
    linear curve. This is the crossfade used while in auto mix mode.
3 Equal power crossfade to Player B * This crosfade type creates a smooth fade
    curve between the tracks that gives nearly equal volume / power throughout the
    fade. It is most commonly used to keep a high output level across the whole
    crossfade.
4 Slow slow crossfade to Player B * This type of crossfade takes the current track
    out slowly as it slowly fades in the next track.
5 Fast slow crossfade to Player B * In this crossfade, the current track fades out
    quickly, while the next track fades in slowly.
6 Slow fast crossfade to Player B * In this crossfade, the current track fades out
    slowly, while the next track fades in quickly.
7 Flash cut crossfade to Player B * This type really is not a crossfade. When
    pressed playback switches to the next track with out a crossfade temporarily then
    when release play back switches back to the original track.
8 Numerical value of the volume slider for player A.
9 Peak meter levels for Player A
10 Volume fader for Player A
11 Crossfader for Player A and Player B
12 Volume fader for Player B

* The corresponding button on the other side of the mixer will do the same crossfade but to Player A.

 
EQ  
DJ6900 has a 10 band EQ for precise sound sculpting. There are 10 bands of control for each player. The bands on the left will control player A and the bands on the right control player B. The On/Off button will turn on or off the EQ for each prospective player. The Reset button will reset the bands to the middle for the respective player. The EQ will also load and save EQF files. EQF files are EQ settings files that are used by most other popular mp3 player. When saving EQ setting, only the setting for player A are saved. When loading setting the setting are loaded into both players.
