if you know you're hardcore, then start w/vinyl.

if it's more of a casual hobby, i would probably go cd's. because it's cheaper to download what you want... and therefore use the saving to buy more music.

there have been times where i have paid over $20 for an import double pack for just ONE SONG. think of how many mp3s i could have bought w/that money. do i reget it? no. but if i weren't very serious about it, i'd rather be buying mp3's than deal w/the b.s. associated w/vinyl.

Read a LOT.

When I started spinning I would spend hours upon hours reading tutorials and reviews and whatever from as many different sources as I could. Even if the majority of the stuff on the net is very similar, there will be one or two sites that give you a tip that you haven't seen before. Of course, all of this information won't meant jack shit unless you practice a lot, but knowledge is power.

Yep. Reading everything you can find saves asking stupid questions about style here later. There are some pretty decent tutorials out there (google), watch other djs and experiment yourself. If you have any idea you will pick it up pretty quickly.

I have a few LPs. There is a big sound quality difference btw an LP and a single. It's also harder to "see" the song in the grooves of an LP. And the songs on LPs tend to not be as DJ-friendly. There are exceptions, of course. As when an LP is split into 4 records or so, especially for DJs. Then, it's the same as playing a single.

Pretty much, yeah. Purchased downloads, rips from purchased vinyl, and unreleased promos. You can't exactly play tracks from mix CDs.
