Since you can store the BPM with each MP3 file, i think it would be cool if besides a countdown which shows how much of a song is left in minutes & seconds, maybe also have an option that counts down how many musical bars are left in a song or until the next marker.
For example, maybe you like to mix in a 8 bar intro of a song into a 8bar chorus of the 1st song that is playing. lets say half way thru the verse you get distrated by something (drinks, girls or whatever :) ), you could have a marker at the beginning of a chorus, and with this feature. you could get your bearings straight so you wont miss the "mix entry" point. Of course some people will say "but you should know your music" - i agree, but sometimes i get a new song which is fresh and this would kinda help. Im assuming with dance DJ's this could also be useful considering the long segments in songs.
thoughts?

Nice idea, add a beat grid please.. It doesnt need to be 100% perfect (the BPM values isnt anyway) but it would be good for a rough number, helps with mixing.
