How do I put music in my Shared folder?
The iPad User's Manual describes this on page 32:
Apps Pane
Use the Apps pane to sync App Store applications, arrange applications on the iPad Home screen, or copy documents between iPad and your computer.
When you sync iPad, iTunes automatically adds applications you downloaded on iPad to the iTunes Library. If you delete an application on iPad, you can reinstall it from the Apps pane as long as it was previously synced.
Documents that you create on iPad with applications that support file sharing can be copied to your computer. You can also copy documents from your computer to iPad, for use with an application that supports file sharing. For example, if you have the Pages application for iPad, you can work on a document on iPad, then copy it to your Mac and finish it in Pages on Mac OS X.
Applications that support file sharing are shown in the File Sharing Apps list. For each application, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the application's documentation for how it shares files; not all applications support this feature.
To copy a file from iPad to your computer, select it in the Files list, then click Save To and choose a destination on your computer. To delete a file from iPad, select it in the Files list, then press Delete.
To copy a file from your computer to iPad, select an application in the File Sharing Apps list, click Add, then select the file. Make sure the file is one the application supports. To copy more than one file, select each file individually. Each file is immediately copied to iPad for use with the application.

Why can't DJDeckX use the music in the iPod app on my iPad?
3rd party iPad applications can, like their iPod cousins, control certain elements of music playback. An iPad app can tell the iPod app to start playing a certain song or for example, skip a bit and change the playback speed.
However, a DJ app needs to be able to do more than that. A simple example are the low, middle and high filters commonly used by a DJ: play one song and mixing another into it while filtering out the baseline of the second song. The iPod app can't filter. The only possible way for DJDeckX to filter is to be able to read the audio files itself. The songs in your iPod music library aren't accessible for 3rd party apps so the only way for DJDeckX - or any other app with this kind of requirements - to do what it needs to do, is to sync files with it separately.
Why only support the split stereo setup? I have bluetooth headphones...
The iPad, like the iPod, supports bluetooth headphones. What also needs to be supported is 2 separate outputs. You'll want the audience output to go through the iPad audio out and your preview channel to go to your headset. The iPhone OS at this time doesn't support 2 separate audio outputs.
