VirtualDJ - Newb Questions: Headphone cuing and Playlists?

Home userMember since 2009

Sorry if these questions have been addressed elsewhere or in a FAQ.

I've been checking out the trial version of Virtual DJ and its been a blast.

I'm not a DJ but I'm often called upon to play tunes for events for parties and such.

I have two questions:

#1 Is there anyway to set up Virtual DJ so that I can cue songs and listen to tracks on one channel without the main channel being interrupted. Quite simply, I just want to listen to a track on the other channel while playing something on the other. Do I need some console with an external sound-card to do this or can I somehow use what I've got: A laptop with a single audio output.

#2 Is there anyway to set up a simple playlist of songs on one of the channels so that I can just use Virtual DJ as a juke-box player. For example, I'd like to be able to beat-mix songs for a while, cross-fading from from channel to the other and then, just play some songs in a row the way I would in a normal playlist using Winamp or VLC or something. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.
