VirtualDJ 8, our next major version, is still under development, and currently in beta testing.
Because it has a complete new code-base, we definitely don't want to rush its release to meet some arbitrary deadlines.
So we'll keep poking at it and fixing big and small glitches until we are completely satisfied with it.
But, we realize it's been a year already, and we don't want to keep you waiting so long, so a part of our developer team has started to work again on the 7.x code-base, to continue to bring you updates in the meantime.
So, from now on, we will release small updates to the 7.x code-base, fixing small bugs, adding new controllers, and porting some of the new features from v8, until v8 is fully ready.
All this without compromising the stability, since the 7.x code-base has millions of hours of hard use to show for its stability.
So here is VirtualDJ version 7.1.
It fixes a few bugs that we found over the last few months, and incorporate the numerous new brands and controllers we have been working with recently, bringing the total number of natively supported controllers to 176.
It also features one of the new features of v8, called cloudList:
cloudLists are online-saved playlists, that you can share or access from any other computer.
- It can be used to share playlists with other users. Like, if some user ask on the forum "I've been booked for a salsa night tomorrow and I have no idea what salsa is, is it some spicy sauce?", and you happen to be a resident DJ in Varadero, Cuba, then you can make a playlist for this poor fellow DJ, and just answer on the forum to add you on cloudList.
- It can also be used to consult the latest playlist from your favorite artists or groups, and stay up-to-date on what's the latest hot tracks to play (check out the 3 channels on the virtualdjradio cloudList for example).
- Finally, it can also be used to save "private" lists for yourself, so that next time you're at a dinner at your friend's house, and you want to start spinning some tracks, you just need to log-in with your account on his VirtualDJ and you'll have all your playlists ready.
The cloudList in v7.x only lets you share netSearch results for now, but it gives you an idea of how useful this can be.
As usual, the update is free for all Broadcaster, Pro Basic and Pro Full users.
Just go to your download center and install it.

Good Job... Thank you so much... but i'm looking at the list of the new controllers added, where we could find it?

Thanks for the update. The new controllers will be useful (for some) and bug fixes are always welcome but anything that uses the internet is useless to me. I live in England where internet access is flaky at best and certainly not good enough to 'stream' anything.
As for sharing playlists, thanks but I just email them!
Have you got anything useful coming up?
Cheers

It will be updated shortly.
We will post the link when ready
In the meantime, you can see all the supported controllers, if you select the relative option in Config->Mappers tab (Mappers option button)

Its not the same.. Its a FREE upgrade, with tons of new hot controllers added.. .up to 176 now ;)
And there is also a super cool new cloud feature where you can access your music anywhere, from any running VDJ on any pc.
As well as constantly updated cloudlist from djs world wide playing on VDJ Radio - where you'll get refilled with the hot new tracks non stop ;)
(But its of course not version 8 - that is to come .. ;) )

thanks for the update.
How do I use cloudlist ? Is there such a list (sample) now ? I'm trying to find how to get a (any) list.

yes there is a "sample" list .. from VirtualDJ Radio .. look at your left side in browser.
And btw, the list from VirtualDJ Radio will be constantly updated with hot new tracks from the 100s of djs playing on radio - making it super easy to stay on the edge and have those club bangers ;)
