DJ Software - Recommendations Please

Many moons ago I used to be a DJ and have occasionally mixed tapes for friends parties. Having seen someone using a laptop with PCDJ Red to do the same I wondered if there is any free or inexpensive software available to allow me to mix music from my existing music library of mp3's and either record it to CD or play via a laptop. Needs to be relatively simple to use but not too basic.

I googled 'free dj software' but the search results didn't help too much.

    PCDJ Red is good, you might wanna try Virtual DJ (good for scratchin) or DSS DJ both simple to use.

    virtual DJ is great once you get your head around it. Free trial works well from what I can remember

    Probably not quite want you want but the free Jazler Show is good if you want to play radio stations. :D
    Although it's meant to be for jingles and effects you can assign music as well.
