I mainly do playback without scratching or mixing. Can VDJ be used just for music playback without a controller, and does it have a auto-fade feature?
Thx

Yes, you can create a playlist and VDJ will auto play.
You can smart play where VDJ decides how to mix the songs together or you can set various fade modes.
Here's an extract from the V6 manual.
Playlist & Automix Management Using the Playlist management menu by clicking on the [+] icon and choose from the available options
for how the automix will function and tracks are managed in the playlist. Automix Types – 5 modes
• SMART – VirtualDJ attempts to determine the optimal mix point based on the outro of the current track and intro of the upcoming track – mix time varies from ~4 to ~8 secs depending on the tracks
• FADE (remove intro/outro) – attempts to remove the dead air intro or outro segments and creates a crossfade point based on the settings of the Automix Length
• FADE (remove silence) – keeps the entire track from beginning to end while removing any ‘dead air’ or ‘silence’ that may be present in the track and creates a crossfade point based on the settings of the Automix Length
• FADE (remove nothing) – keeps the entire track from beginning to end and creates a crossfade point based on the settings of the Automix Length
• NONE (back-to-back) – this is a simple CUT mix that plays the files from complete from start to finish including any air gaps at the beginning or end
Automix Length
Length used for the Automix FADE types. Lengths are 0 seconds (CUT), or 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 seconds fades using the FULL crossfade.
Repeat
Two different ‘Repeat’ options are available. When clicking on the options button (‘+’) the ‘Repeat’ option lets you repeat the whole Automix Playlist. Once all tracks have been played, the Automix will start over again with the first track in the list.
Prior to or during the Automix, right click on a song and select ‘Repeat’ to have that song continuously repeat until the ‘Repeat’ is deselected.
Clear – clears the entire playlist of all tracks Shuffle – shuffles the contents of the playlist for play Remove played – removes any already played tracks from the playlist Remove duplicates – a removes any possible duplicates from the playlist
Save – provides function to save the playlist for future use. Saved playlists can be loaded from the Playlist option found on the left Navigation panel. Saved playlists are stored to the My Documents/VirtualDJ/Playlists folder

No problem. May be worth looking at VDJ basic version if you don't want to use a controller. I'm on my mobile but the comparison is on the website.
