software is for music production and "virtual" mixing
basic gear for DJing usually consists of
2 x Turntables
1 x Mixer
1 x Headphones
or
2 x CD Decks
1x Mixer
1x Headphones
or a combination of all the above
are you looking to DJ? or to produce music?

then your next question is do you want to go Vinyl, CD or MP3
mp3 you'll need to buy some software like Tracktor DJ Studio, or Virtual DJ
Vinyl, you'll need a pair of Turntables and a mixer
CD you'll need a pair of CD Decks and a mixer
if you go vinyl or cd you can still go mp3 by either buying vinyl emulation software/hardware like serato or final scratch - and if cd, of course you can burn them to CD or some CD decks have SD card slots or even Hard Drives built in

well i'd like to go mp3 first, but i would probably like CD but dont get me wrong, CD decks and a mixer can be generally expensive lol, so i would probably have to stick to mp3 for a while :P :)
