before i switched to linux, i had a dj program called atomixmp3. does anyone know where i could get a linux alternative to it that lets me control the pitch, and be able to scratch and mix various audio formats on two virtual decks.

Sorry, I don't. I am hoever moving this to the *nix forum.

http://mixxx.sourceforge.net/
Im sure there are others, but at least one of these should suit your needs. Always check sourceforge for linux software.

thanx i was looking at rpmfind.net and i only found some dj programs that only crossfaded and acted like xmms.
