I've owned the Pacemaker since it was originally released and have been incredibly pleased with it. Early versions of the firmware were a bit buggy but it has been a solid performer for the past six months with regular updates freely available.
The interface is intuitive and easy to use after a 2-3 hour learning curve (mostly to break iPod interface habits) and the sound for the variety of formats supported is superb. You can record your mixes on the device and move them to the desktop application and vice versa. The sound controls work very well and reliably. If you like manipulating music and are looking for a device that takes you beyond the iPod experience, this is highly recommended.
The pacemaker social network for sharing mixes is nice as well. I just wish there were a way to download and play them on the device (even if for only a limited period of time).
I can't speak to its utility as a live DJ device as I've never used it in...Read more

Just got my Pacemaker a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it! I had a couple of Numark (monster) TTX tables with a Stanton xfader when I was younger and the biggest pain was just getting the things around. Even with CDJs its pretty tough to move gear around. So the Pacemaker works out really well as far as portability goes!
Loading MP3s is not too hard, beware if you have a lot of older iTunes tracks, you'll have to *upgrade* them to the DRM-free format for $0.30/track to get them on to your Pacemaker, just something to consider. That can set you back hundreds if you have a good sized music collection tied up in iTunes.
You've really got to know your music because when you scroll through the tracks, you only get track titles and BPM displayed. Once you start playing the track, you get all the info. I havent played with the mix editor software too much but it installed easily seems easy enough, not as intuitive as iTunes but it shouldnt give you too many...Read more

I bought one of these when they first came out last year (the 120GB version), and I've been very happy with it. At the time I had no prior mixing experience, but I found that using the Pacemaker was pretty intuitive and I caught the bug so thoroughly that only three months later I bought my own set of full-size turntables and a mixer.
Pros: I love that it's small enough to fit in my purse or satchel and go anywhere. I travel a lot, and it makes that 8-hr flight a lot easier to cope with! I can also plug it in to any old rig and put on a decent mix if I want to. I don't go through music withdrawal any more and I'll never buy another MP3 player. It's so loaded with features I haven't yet mastered them all.
Cons: The touchpad is fiddly, simply because the device is so small. You have to be really careful where you place your fingers or you risk e.g. accidentally hitting the crossfade bar and wrecking your mix. I find the EQ gestures have been hard to get used...Read more
