Features
▸ High quality music and micspam on any server or game with mic input. No need for server settings like sv_allow_voice_from_file or sv_use_steam_voice!


▸ Easy setup. Just add a folder with music in, tweak some settings (if you want) and go!


▸ Minimalist window that you can hide and use while hidden


▸ Intuitive default control scheme based on the numpad - but completely customisable controls too


▸ Volume control


▸ Search function! Just type in a few letters and watch your songlist narrow down


▸ Scrollable and clickable songlist


▸ Many program settings can be customised


▸ Plays damn near every format - no need to convert any of your files


▸ VAC-safe


▸ Free and Open Source!
Setup
There's a comprehensive readme file that explains all the commands, but if you want the short version:


1) Install VLC from here


2) Extract zip file to somewhere


3) Open config.cfg and give it a folder with some music in it, like the example


4) Launch from WinDJ!


If you want to micspam, there are additional steps.


5) Install VB-Audio Virtual Cable, available as donationware from here (scroll down to the orange download button)


6) Open WinDJHelper and find the code for the VB Cable you just added


7) Open config.cfg, remove the ; from in front of the audiodevice setting, and paste your code in there, like the example


8) Set the mic input of whatever you want to micspam in to the VB Cable


9) Make sure you run whatever it is you want to micspam in either bordered, or in a borderless window


10) For Source games like TF2, you'll need to paste the bind in the readme into your autoexec file


The readme has loads more details and info on controls and settings for you to look at.

i tried installing as instructed, but WinDJ immediately closes itself when i run the program and then leaves crap behind in windows task manager. is there a way to make winDJ actually display its window?

1. You don't press voice chat at all, you press 5 on the keypad, and it starts playing straight away
2. Nope!
3. No, you press 5 on the keypad. Only your teammates will be able to hear unless you have all-talk enabled on the server (most don't).

Hello, I didn`t quite understand some things...
1- when i press the voice chat key, and resume a song, does it starts playing right away?
2- Do I have to keep holding the voice chat key, while windj is playing a song, to others to hear?
3- For others to hear my micspam, I just press the voice chat key and then play a song?
those are my question,have a nice day.

Nope, still the same result.
Running the application as administrador neither helps.
Could it be compatitbility issues? Running on x64. Few times it launches, and everything was ok except the music cuz i didn't hear it or got notification it plays, and all of it was before i did system recovery cuz my network driver got busted again. Ill try to do the windows updates, maybe it will fix it.

+toscana You need to install the C++ redistributable. Try this one [www.microsoft.com].

Hello! Having installation issues.
First of all problem with the WinDJ download, when is saves file not as .zip but as .0 file because of lot of dots in version number. But i fixed it by adding .zip at the end in the file name.
Second is launching DJ helper gives me an error in log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dj.py", line 24, in <module>
File "vlc.pyc", line 173, in <module>
File "vlc.pyc", line 146, in find_lib
File "ctypes\__init__.pyc", line 365, in __init__
WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 не является приложением Win32 (translatation* is not an win32 application)

Launching DJ itself gives me same message except one different line:
File "dj.py", line 59, in <module>
I launched it once, everything according instructions, but it didn't worked in TF2, i've seen music icon but nothing was playing, and window is closing everytime instead, and it broke my network so i had to do the manual system recovery. Using 8.1. Any solutions?

+The Dorkinator except it isn't, because it relies on server settings, and only works with source games, while this works with everything else.
