    Mixxx
    Although it maybe overkill for just a player (it's designed for live DJ'ing)
    Code:
    while [ true ]; do CY=$(date +%y); CM=$(date +%m); if [ -n "$PY" ] && [ -n "$PM" ]; then echo "Ubuntu ${CY}.${CM} is the worst release ever"; echo "I'm going back to ${PY}.${PM}"; fi; PY="$CY"; PM="$CM"; sleep 182d; done

    Virtual DJ is incredible if you like to manipulate the sounds. Also has a great webcam function so you can control the tables with your hands virtually. Good price, but the demo is free and fully functionable.
    Hope that helps
    If you are a dJ, I am also, be nice to meet someone else in my line of work here.
    Namaste.

    Quick google for "linux music player crossfade" shows that crossfading is available in

    - Audacious
    - xmms
    - Goggles music manager
    - Amarok
    Code:
    while [ true ]; do CY=$(date +%y); CM=$(date +%m); if [ -n "$PY" ] && [ -n "$PM" ]; then echo "Ubuntu ${CY}.${CM} is the worst release ever"; echo "I'm going back to ${PY}.${PM}"; fi; PY="$CY"; PM="$CM"; sleep 182d; done

    Your requirements remain a mistery to me unless you clarify what a "DJ orientated music player" for you means.

    To me Mixx is a pretty cool free option with support for USB mix decks / scratch devices and so on. Really a tool for DJing. If you are looking for simply a player which automatically crossfade then the one mentioned by amauk might help.

    Under Linux I have never seen a tool similar to Virtual DJ (automatic crossfade with BPM adaption) although Mixx is a good replacement.

    id like to find either something with intelligent cross fade (not just at 15sec star fading) or something like mixx with a simpler quicker interface

    Well, to my limited knowledge this translates to something similar as the mentioned Virtual DJ (which is "unfortunately" Windows-only).

    You have to check out the various results at WINEs appDB if you are willing too:http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=1704

    All I can add to this:
    I did a lot of mixing with "real hardware" like 2 CD players, 2 turntables plus a cheap quad-channel mixer when I was around 20with a friend fo mine. Mixx sounds like a good alternative to this when you have lots of MP3s and are willing to shell out a few bucks on USB hardware for scratching. In general I found Virtual DJ a great replacement under Windows. Under Linux I am afraid there is currently no option. Although you could try out Virtual DJ inside a KVM virtual machine with Windows.

    OK, here my short update:
    Virtual DJ Pro v4.2 R1 works perfectly under WINE and Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
