Yes. A DJ is someone who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Accordingly, both your friends ‘qualify’.

imo… I think djing is basically playing music for a crowd.

you friend that plays 2 songs at a time? are you meaning he is playing both throughout most of each song or transitioning from 1 song to the other [mixing].

If he is playing 2 songs at the same time I would think thats doing live mashups?

This, even if they’re not mixing anything and just pressing play in itunes as long as they’re doing it for other people then they qualify.
