Default Free Mp3 Mixing software?

Any one know of such a thing?
Have tons of Mp3's that i would love to mix into long sets.

I had access to my brothers set of Technics 1210's growing up with thousands of his vinyls to play with, and can mix no problem the old school way, but these days, i have amassed a HUGE amount of tunes via torrents sites, and was wondering how to go about mixing+recording them, so i can burn them to Cd

This has been bugging me for some time now, and after much searching of the t'interweb i am non the wiser as to all the claims made by such software

Anyone have experience of such software???

Any help from the Snet community would be great

it used to be a bit of a ball ache to do without 2 soundcards back in the day, not sure if a workaround exists nowadays?

The problem i find is that you cant cue the tune to be mixed, apart from using the sound wave graphics within the program!

This makes it nearly imposible to match beats, and the BPM's always seem way out

Its just so far away from having good old fashioned decks, and a bag full of vinyals

There's a guy from Australia on YouTube who does some great mixes with VirtualDJ

He's also posted videos showing how to best use the software.
