The DJammer brings turntable likecreative functionality to the MP3 world while offering acollaborative platform for sharing the creative processover the network. It not only provides a new tool to DJsbut also empowers each listener to a new type ofcommunity experience by giving them the ability toactively participate in any jam session. In essence, theDJammer changes the 1-to-n creative process to a trulyn-to-n collaborative experience. This paper describes thetechnologies incorporated into the DJammer, anddiscusses the implementation of the prototype DJammer.Usage models and future enhancements are alsodescribed.
