I wouldn't say the list is short, believe it or not the list is close to 30 or less pages that list probably 35 songs per sheet. And of course the music needs to be within FIRSTs acceptability so the DJS due a very extensive job in making sure the songs are Ok, as they play the songs they preview the next couple of songs into their headphones and add it to the playlist or remove it from the playlist. The DJ at the NJ Regional played a wide variety of Genres some of them were: Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Rock, Dance,Techno and even some oldies =) and yes they do have if anything a bad habit of replaying the YMCA, Cotton Eyed Joe and a couple of others. I think the program the DJS use was MixMeister Pro. which seems to be very powerful over Windows Media Player. I have the Express Version of that program and it works quite well. Its easy to use and I think its straight forward.
