It’s been one year since Denon DJ announced the new music management/file analysis software, Engine Prime, developed to work seamlessly with their SC5000. Now the company has released the first major update to the program, version 1.1. New features include more power and flexibility in managing digital music collections, better integration of iTunes folders, and improved search capabilities and performance.

“Engine Prime software is an integral component of Denon DJ’s Prime Series. The new 1.1 version enables a higher degree of access and organization for music libraries, making the DJs time on the stage collected and creative,” said Ross Goodwin, Denon DJ Product Manager.
