Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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 that capacity, but there seem to be quite a few folks that do in the pacemaker.net forums.
