Common FAQs:
How do I test out the software to see if it’s right for me?
DigiJ can be downloaded and tried free for 30 days, without database size limitations or limited functionality!
I’m a DJ, how does DigiJ help me aside from easily searching for my music?

How long will DigiJ be updated and supported?
I use DigiJ every time I DJ. If I'm ever at a gig and think of a way that the software could be improved
to help me do my job better, I work the upgrade very soon after its inception. I'll never stop
DJ-ing, so I'll never stop upgrading DigiJ!
Why does DigiJ cost so little compared to other DJ software I've seen?
Simply put, we want DigiJ to be used and enjoyed by as many people as it can be!
This software was written by DJs, for DJs. High cost should not be a roadblock
for people to experience a better way to play their music.

We recommend running DigiJ on a Pentium 200 MHz or faster PC with at least 96
MB of RAM and at least 30 MB of free disc space.

No. Simply download the new version and replace “DigiJ.exe” with the new version.
Any databases that you have built will not be removed.
I have bunch of custom genres
and attributes I’d like to be able to search on, that aren't part of
Winamp's genre list. Does
DigiJ support this?
Yes! DigiJ lets you tag your tracks with any custom genres that you can come up with, and also any
other attributes that you’d like.
For example you can search on all tracks marked with genre
“Disco” that are also marked with attribute “Heavy Rotation”, or
any other combination of attributes that you'd like!

What might I have to upgrade on my system to be able to run DigiJ?
You may need to update your Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC):
-If you have a Windows 95 or 98 machine, you most likely need to update your components.
These are the core Data Access files that contain components such as an OLE DB provider and
ODBC drivers, that run your database.
If you have trouble running DigiJ or its instillation program,
download the “Data Access” components from the DigiJ website.
Run “DCOM98.exe”
and then "MDAC_2.6_sp2.exe" and then "MDAC_2.80.exe”.
A computer restart will be necessary.
-If you have a Windows NT, ME, XP or 2000 machine, your MDAC files are most
likely already installed and up to date.
If they are not, you will only need to run “MDAC_2.80.exe”.
DO NOT run DCOM98.exe.
-For all operating systems: “Data Access” source files may be deleted after the MDAC installation.
