For mainstream DJ City is a pool with nice versions of each song. zipDJ has the largest selection of songs I have seen and also dive in genres that many mainstream pools are missing, such as latin, spanish, italo, ibiza house,…. but you have to dig deep to get them as their search function is not the most intuitive (at least for me).
I am not the total fan of X-mix, they tend to “overdo” it sometimes and the original is sometimes barely recognizable and at least my crowds do not like that.
However currently I do a lot of “cutting” songs up myself, I try to get the single with the instrumental and acapella versions and cut them they way I like and mix them together.

Welcome to the forums! You can never be to old to express your love for music 😉 I wish you a happy ride towards becoming a DJ!

Well if you only have unbalanced outputs (RCA) then a DI box can help. If your cable length is really short (below 2m) you can also get away with using a simple RCA to XLR adapter plug.

Most controllers that are a step up from the mixtrack pro have at least TRS outputs, you can always connect those with a TRS to XLR cable, since both are balanced and have basically the same quality.
If you want to look at some controllers and know their features I recommend our free controller guide, that you can find here:

German producer Dieter Bohlen said it once pretty good:
People, these are TV formats. They are reality shows, some of them called “casting shows”, but nobody in the music industry gives a penny if they are actually successful. Honestly most in the music industry do not even care if these amateurs are still alive after the last show closes. This is not about music, it is not about music it is about people turning on the TV and choosing that station.

While some parts may be exaggerated and it does not make Bohlen someone you would like, it is pretty close to the truth.

Very nice work! Beats me why reloop themselves did not do a mapping. Kind of a letdown I have to say.

If I press it it changes on screen and on the controller.

Yes I think that was that album… it was over compressed realy bad hissing… tin can passages. Some parts sounded like a 64k mp3.

Well I have only used TouchOSC, so no idea about Midi Touch.
However I am really satisfied with TouchOSC. Works well, easy to do layouts (pro version) and very stable.
It is in no way a replacement for a real controller, but I map some F/X and one shots on the iPad to spice things up and have a range for dancefloor djing stunts hehe
