Auto DJ for your music.
Seamwave is an auto DJ music player for your own music. Switch on Auto-DJ and it picks the next song and mixes it in on the beat.
Why does the music stop between songs?
A song ends. Two seconds of nothing. Then the next one kicks in at a different tempo and a different volume.
Crossfade smooths out the volume, sure. But it has no idea where the beat is, so for a few seconds two drum patterns stumble over each other. If a DJ friend has ever winced at your playlist, that's why.
How the auto DJ works
- 01
Add your music folders
Choose the folders where your music lives. MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, Opus and WAV all work.
- 02
Seamwave listens to every song
Each song gets analysed once: tempo, beat grid, key, loudness, energy, and where the intro, drops and outro sit. A big library takes a while the first time. After that, it's done.
- 03
Press Auto-DJ
Seamwave picks a song that fits and mixes it in on the beat. You can skip, change the style or take over whenever you like.
What happens in a Seamwave transition
A transition usually runs somewhere between half a minute and a minute. Here's what goes on while most players would be silent.
- 1
Waits for the end of a phrase
Music moves in phrases of 16 or 32 bars. Seamwave starts the mix where one ends, so the change comes exactly when your ear expects it.
- 2
Matches the tempo
The next song speeds up or slows down to match the one that's playing. Key lock keeps the pitch where it was, so vocals don't turn into chipmunks. If the tempos are too far apart, the old track echoes out instead of being forced into line.
- 3
Swaps the bass
Two basslines at once sound like mud. Seamwave holds back the bass of the new song and swaps it over on a single beat.
- 4
Lands the drop
If the next song has a drop, Seamwave lines up the mix so the drop hits right as the old track leaves.
Depending on the songs, you'll also hear filter sweeps, echo, reverb, loops, risers, tape stops or a double drop. Loudness matching keeps every track at the same level, so you're not reaching for the volume.

How Seamwave picks the next song
Auto-DJ stays in the genre you're listening to. Within that, it looks at energy first, then tempo, then key. A chill house evening doesn't suddenly turn into drum and bass, and keys don't clash.
Choose how the energy moves
- Steady
Small changes, one mood.
- Build
Starts calm, ends intense.
- Wave
Up, down, up again.
- Set
An opening, two peaks and a valley in between, like a night out.
Already have a queue? Tap Best order and Seamwave sorts it so each song leads into the next.
Clean, creative or wild
You also choose how much of each song you hear before the next one comes in. And if you'd rather set every detail yourself, there's a manual mode for that.
- 01
Classic
Clean blends, loops and vocal handovers. You hear the music. The mix stays in the background.
- 02
Creative
Mostly clean, with the occasional double drop, drop trick or effect thrown in.
- 03
Wild
Double drops, tape stops, backspins, risers and teaser cuts. For when you actually want to hear a DJ at work.
It learns what you like
After a mix, give it a quick rating. Seamwave remembers which kinds of transitions you liked and uses them more often.
Vocals, drums, bass and melody, mixed separately
Seamwave can split a song into four stems: vocals, drums, bass and melody. With those, a transition can bring in just the drums of the next track while the current vocal keeps going. That's how DJs hand over a song without two full mixes crashing into each other.
Optional. On Windows, Seamwave uses your graphics card if there is one, which is much faster. On Android, stems are created while your phone charges.

Your music stays yours
Seamwave never uploads your music or what you listen to, and you don't need an account. The Android app doesn't even have permission to use the internet. It couldn't send anything if it wanted to.
On Windows, everything runs on your own PC. The only thing that ever goes online is an optional tag lookup, and only when you click it.

Questions about Seamwave
What is Seamwave?
Seamwave is an auto DJ music player for your own music files. It picks the next song and mixes it in on the beat, the way a DJ would. It runs on Windows, and an Android version is coming soon.
Can I use automix with my own music files?
Yes, that's exactly what Seamwave is for. It mixes the MP3, FLAC and other files you already have. You don't need a streaming account.
How is Seamwave different from AutoMix in Apple Music or Spotify?
Those features mix songs from the streaming catalog inside their own apps. Seamwave mixes the files you own, works offline and has a fixed price. You also get more say in how it mixes, from clean blends to double drops.
Does Seamwave work with Spotify or other streaming services?
No. Seamwave plays music files stored on your computer or phone.
Do I need DJ skills?
No. You press one button. If you want to dig into the transition settings, they're there, but you never have to touch them.
Which audio formats does Seamwave support?
MP3, FLAC, AAC and M4A, OGG, Opus and WAV.
Does Seamwave work offline?
Yes. Playing and mixing never need an internet connection. The Android app has no internet access at all.
Do I need an account or a subscription?
Neither. The Windows version is a one-time purchase of €7.99.
Which platforms does Seamwave run on?
Windows right now. Android is coming soon. Versions for Mac and iPhone are planned after that.
When will the Android version be available?
We don't have a date yet. Check back here for updates on the Android release.
Will I have to buy Seamwave twice for Windows and Android?
We'll announce Android pricing when it launches.
What kind of music works best?
Anything with a steady beat gets the full range of transitions: house, techno, drum and bass, hip-hop, pop. When two songs don't fit together in tempo, Seamwave picks a softer echo out. Long DJ mixes and radio recordings can be left out of Auto-DJ.
Can I still choose what plays next?
Of course. Skip a song, add tracks to the queue yourself, or let Seamwave sort your queue with Best order.
Do I need a PC to use the Android app?
No. The Android app analyses your music on its own. The Windows version just does it faster for large libraries and sends the results to your phone.
