Comparison of DJ software

2026-02-03T20:14:36Z

Murspieg: mitplayer now has own site

Very few folkdance sessions still use vinyl records, cassettes, or even CDs; virtually all have switched to some sort of DJ software on a laptop, tablet, or dedicated music device such as an iPod. On this page we compare the most popular DJ software systems, with emphasis on features most useful for typical harkadot.

=== Database versus Live filesystem ===
The distinction here is whether the software is able to detect changes on a filesystem such as whether new files are added or removed automatically. Most database systems are only able to see files explicitly added by the user, whereas live filesystem based backends can find files in specified directories.

=== MP3 tags===
There is another distinction that has to do with mp3 tags. For example, in AMPS, if you edit the id3 tags, they will not be changed in the actual mp3 files, and if you change the tags in the actual files, they will not be changed automatically in AMPS--the tracks will need to be removed from AMPS and the mp3 file reloaded in order to see the changes. This is not the case with itunes, for example, where changes made in the music listings make actual changes in the tags.

Original Music

Murspieg: Added v'shuv Itchem - surprised to find this was overlooked

Dances that are usually done to an adapted version of the music.

The adaptation is usually a Hebrew version of the lyrics set to
the original melody, sometimes a translation but often just similar-sounding words. Dances typically done to the original music aren't
listed here, even if the lyrics aren't in Hebrew.

Murspieg: explanation of artistic contradictions

Hebrew: בסוף מעגל, "At the End of the Circle". Partner dance by [[Itzik Sa'ada]], 1983. The dance is often played last in the evening because its Hebrew title can also mean "At the End of the Dance".

The music and original English lyrics were written by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Young Kenny Young], whose name is sometimes mistransliterated from Hebrew as "Keni Yang". The Hebrew lyrics (sung by Arik Sinai) are a translation by Yehonatan Geffen. The original lyrics, which undoubtedly inspired the artistic puzzles and contradictions in the Hebrew<ref>Some examples from the lyrics: the shade of the burning sun, we warmed
ourselves on ice, the spring of autumn, etc.</ref>, have been lost. Kenny Young believed they were located somewhere in his catalogues but never found them despite numerous attempts<ref>Email from Kenny Young, 3 September 2019</ref>. He passed away in April 2020<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/07/kenny-young-obituary Kenny Young obituary, ''The Guardian''].</ref>. (It is possible that Yehonatan Geffen has retained a copy, but he has not responded to several requests for assistance.)

One must be careful about the composer's identity: there are at least three songwriters named Kenny Young! The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Young composer of BeSof Ma'agal], whose name at birth was Shalom Giskan, had been active since the 1960s and founded the environmentalist group [http://apeuk.org/ Artists Project Earth]; he is well known for his Grammy Hall of Fame song [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Boardwalk "Under the Boardwalk"]. Other Kennys Young include the leader of [http://www.kennyyoungandtheeggplants.com Kenny Young and the Eggplants], plus the leader of the southern countrified rock group [https://kennyyoungband.com/ Kenny Young Band].

Choreographic note: The man is always on his left foot with the exception of four measures: At the end of the second repetition of part I, the man must hold or fudge in order to start part II by crossing his partner twice on the right foot. He slides twice to the right, again on the right foot, but then switches back to the left to approach his partner. The woman is on her right foot throughout.

Bosmat

2021-07-31T22:40:44Z

Murspieg:

Hebrew: בושמת. Circle dance in short lines by [[Moshiko Halevy]], 1980.

The dance was created in honor of Moshiko's [[Moshiko's descendants | first grandchild]], Bosmat,
daughter of his first son Uriah, whose dance is [[Debka Uriah]] (known in
the US as Debka Habir). The dance Bosmat begins with sliding steps to the
right, the same steps that end the original stage choreography of Debka
Uriah.

Moshiko tells the story this way:

<blockquote>

I was staying in a suburb of Tokyo with Fusae, the agent that used to
invite me to give sessions in Japan, and with her husband of the time. I
had a free day and I wanted to go to Tokyo. I had asked the post office in
America to forward letters to Fusae's address. That day I got a letter from
my ex-wife saying that Bosmat was born and describing how beautiful she was.

I left the letter at Fusae's home and decided to go visit Tokyo. I took the
suburb train to Tokyo, and the train was so quiet you could hear only the
sound of the wheels of the train, chutikuta chutikuta chutikuta. It was
like a metronome for me, keeping a rhythm, and I started singing tunes. I
didn't know how I was going to remember this music---it was only morning
and I wasn't returning until the afternoon. So I started humming the melody
in my brain trying not to forget it. When I got back from Tokyo I took my
flute immediately and tried to play the melody. The adrenalin in my body
was so strong that I couldn't sleep. So when I completed the melody I
started writing the words, and when I finished writing the words I started
thinking about the dance. By 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning I finished the
melody, the song, and the dance. What happened was that I started the dance
the way that I ended the choreography of Debka Uriah---these are the first
steps of Bosmat.<ref>Approximate transcription of discussion with Moshiko, 9/7/2015.</ref>
</blockquote>

Styling notes:

1. Hands are held up, with forearms parallel to the floor, throughout.
(Many drop hands to a normal handhold in the second figure only, but Moshiko doesn't
dance it that way.)

2. In the first figure, both turns are over the free foot. That is, first
turn left to face out, and then turn right to face center.

3. The first figure of Bosmat is [[Called dances|called]] in a few venues.
Just before the turn to face out, the line leader calls a number, and the
dancers turn in groups of that number. For example, if the leader calls
"two" then the dancers turn in pairs, if the leader calls "three" then the
dancers turn in groups of three, and so forth. After each turn there is a
new leader unless the call is "one",
which instructs the dancers to turn individually as usual. ([[Murray Spiegel]]
initiated this variation at Hora Shalom.)

Comparison of DJ software

2021-02-09T21:46:05Z

Murspieg: new info about MITplayer running on Macs

Very few folkdance sessions still use vinyl records, cassettes, or even CDs; virtually all have switched to some sort of DJ software on a laptop, tablet, or dedicated music device such as an iPod. On this page we compare the most popular DJ software systems, with emphasis on features most useful for typical harkadot.

=== Database versus Live filesystem ===
The distinction here is whether the software is able to detect changes on a filesystem such as whether new files are added or removed automatically. Most database systems are only able to see files explicitly added by the user, whereas live filesystem based backends can find files in specified directories.

=== MP3 tags===
There is another distinction that has to do with mp3 tags. For example, in AMPS, if you edit the id3 tags, they will not be changed in the actual mp3 files, and if you change the tags in the actual files, they will not be changed automatically in AMPS--the tracks will need to be removed from AMPS and the mp3 file reloaded in order to see the changes. This is not the case with itunes, for example, where changes made in the music listings make actual changes in the tags.

=== Database versus Live filesystem ===
The distinction here is whether the software is able to detect changes on a filesystem such as whether new files are added or removed automatically. Most database systems are only able to see files explicitly added by the user, whereas live filesystem based backends can find files in specified directories.

=== MP3 tags===
There is another distinction that has to do with mp3 tags. For example, in AMPS, if you edit the id3 tags, they will not be changed in the actual mp3 files, and if you change the tags in the actual files, they will not be changed automatically in AMPS--the tracks will need to be removed from AMPS and the mp3 file reloaded in order to see the changes. This is not the case with itunes, for example, where changes made in the music listings make actual changes in the tags.

Murspieg: update to MITPlayer, incl representation of new development

Very few folkdance sessions still use vinyl records, cassettes, or even CDs; virtually all have switched to some sort of DJ software on a laptop, tablet, or dedicated music device such as an iPod. On this page we compare the most popular DJ software systems, with emphasis on features most useful for typical harkadot.
