I want to be able to store the location of beats.  If I could do this, I
figure I could create software that would be better than any human DJ at
mixing.  

You could calculate the Beats Per Minute at the end of a song, randomly
select another song within a set range different from the current one, and
modify the speed of play of the two so that they match, fade the next song
in, fade the 1st song out, then restore the 2nd song's speed to what it
originally was.  Flawlessly, never ever missing a beat.  

Then put in a real time playlist editor that continuously selects the next
song randomly, or will allow you to queue up selections.

So how difficult would it be ?
