I need something simple, to run MP3's with. I have an external drive with older music that I do not want to mix with my current music that I run on OTS.

What I mean is some software for my laptop for simple mixing. I us OTS for my everyday stuff but just need something for MP3's.
If you just want an MP3 app simply to play MP3’s there’s a ton of options. If you’re looking for something to mix with, then Mixxx (as @Jeff Romard) suggested is a good choice. If you’re looking for something to make a more automatic mix, perhaps Mixmeister is something to consider.

I didn’t know there was any DJ S/W which doesn’t play MP3 I know a couple services still issue music in MP3.
I love Mixmeister it's my main software but if you are looking just to play MP3 back to back that's a lot of cash output for a MP3 player
Here are some others

There are just SO MANY choices for Windows, but that’s a pretty good one for simple player with dual sound card support.

Haters gonna hate ... I find it the easiest to use software player for simple playback. I can remote in from my iPad, iPhone or Apple Watch and control it .. with the phone/tablet I can add songs, search the laptops database, rearrange the playlist on the fly .. all from the comfort of a lounge with beer in hand.And if you want to feel like you have a virus but don't it's great for that too

Itunes to me is like Alto to you. It's functional but there are much better options
For performance, I wholly agree .. for simple playback I wholly disagree. I have not found an easier or "better" solution for straight playlist playback. "Sidelists" and such work in DJ apps work fine, but the flexibility and simplicity of iTunes is really tough to beat .. as is the price.
Maybe.
For me, the ability to preview/prelisten to the song before playing it, easily, is important. Having to load the song into a deck, having to run two instances of an application at the same time, etc., to do this, IMHO are not real world solutions to the problem. Also, I drink expensive Scotch.
Yes .. for actual DJ use, a dual deck (or more) setup is generally needed) .. for automatic playlist play, one isn't usually cueing.
And I drink Johnny Walker Blue personally ...
Same could be said for Windows.And if you want to feel like you have a virus but don't it's great for that too
Especially Windows 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Same could be said for Windows.
