PlayIt Live

If you intend to play music in front of a crowd, you will need more than a conventional media player. People will feel much more if the music tracks flow one after another, without interruptions or silent moments. With PlayIt Live, you can play your tracks manually or automatically, analyze and eliminate the silence in your tracks and more. The software makes it much easier to organize and find audio tracks and play them like a professional.

PlayIt Live is free, but you still need to register the product, by creating an online account and inserting an activation key. Installing the software is not difficult. If .NET Framework 3.5 or a later version is installed on your computer, you can have the PlayIt Live up and running in a few moments.

You can switch between two layouts, on the user interface. The classic desk mode is selected by default. The loaded audio files are listed on the right side of the window. You may click and drag individual tracks to one of the players, located on the left side. Each player comes with its own Play, Pause and Eject options. While the desk mode is selected, you must compile your own playlist and go to the next track yourself. When a track is about to end, its progress bar will start flashing, so you will know when to play the next song.

You may also click and drag your tracks to the quick carts, located on the lower part of the interface. If a quick cart contains a track, you just need to click it to start playing and click it again to stop. If you switch to the live assist mode, the layout of the interface will look slightly different. The loaded files are listed in the same area, but you will find three players on the left side of the window and you must add your files to a queue, beneath the player. A slider, in the lower right corner of the window, can be used to switch between manual, semi-automatic or automatic playback. If you set to an auto mode, the software will queue your files and play them automatically.

You may change the number of players or quick carts, for each mode, in the general settings menu. It is also possible to set a fade time and select a different sound card for individual players. You can set up a playout policy, on a separate window, if you want to ignore specific tracks or artists, for a certain period of time. Instead of loading audio files, on the user interface, the traditional way, you must follow a wizard's instructions. During its stages, you can analyze your tracks for silent segments and set intro, cue in and cue out points.
