Programme for mashing up in key tunes

Looking to do a 20 (or so) minute mash up of 100 (or so) tunes for a cd for a mates birthday with all our favourite tunes from years gone by.

I used Abelton once and HATEDit.

Can anyone recommend anything else thats a bit more user friendly. I want to have the tracks overlap fairly quickly and I will be doing the mix in key.

If the only programme thats advisable is Abelton, then if someone could help me out with a dummies guide to help with this little project, i would very much appreciate it.

I cant use my decks right now because they are temporarily O.O.S due to babys nursery and no where to put them right now......

mixmeister maybe? i've never used the program personally though.

yeah, get mixmeister and look at the tutorial video, it'll explain much what you need to do to get going!

I would say mixmeister as well, its really easy to use and has some really good tutorials that come along with it, its so noob friendly that you don't even need to look for the tutorial vids, the main one pops up when you first open the program!

I hope you get some space to set up your decks again too...
