cdj 1000mk2 question

this may be a stupid question but do the cdj 1000mk2 play burned cd...like songs i download from limewire or beatport and burn them to a cd?...or is that why they came out with the mk3?..thanx

Yes it will play burned CDs but not in the .mp3 format. The MKIII added mp3 support in addition to other features, if I am correct.

isnt songs that u download from limewire or programs like that in mp3 format?

Yes, but once you burn them to a CD in "music" rather than "data" form, they are converted to what is bascially a .wav standard. There are others here who can explain the technical aspects of this much better than myself. Basically, the .mp3 is compressed and is much smaller than the .wav file. Hence the ability to burn more than 100 .mp3s onto a single CD vs. only 15 or 16 .wav tracks.

Your burning software should allow you to specify which type of CD you are creating. I use Roxio (blah), and it will differentiate between "music" and "data".

yes it will- when burnt as an AUDIO cd....it will NOT play DATA cds

hmm if you have did a little more reading then you didn't have to ask it but messages above here are true

I always wondered why Pioneer gave the 200s the ability to read mp3's and not the 1000 mkII's...

maybe because they came out like 5 years after the 1000s?


and to the thread starter: any dj who plays music downloaded from limewire or any other p2p program should be hanged from their balls.

no i haven't and never will. so stfu! playing tunes you've downloaded from p2p on a gig is especially a disgrace IMO, but even playing them in your bedroom IMO is a big no no and i'll never do it.

How can you stand the quality of p2p downloads.
You get what you pay for and if you dont pay anything you get shit.

how else would you like me to get hard to find songs like most edm music is?

i have, but for preview purposes. i'd never ever try making money with something i've downloaded illegally, so i would never play mp3s from p2p out and i won't play them in my bedroom either. i have at least some morals and i support the scene unlike some of the people here it seems.

Also refering to your comment about not even spinning downloaded music in your bedroom, how is that different than preview purposes? I do not support spinning illegal music - I am just puzzled by your judgement. I agree totally that its wrong, however I see nothing wrong with trying a track out - even if you spin it for a test drive. Also think of the radio - thats how we go buy CDs is because we hear it first . So as long as your not booked somewhere charging a cover - i say burn away.

no, beacause if you dl from p2p and spin those tracks you're not supporting the scene. but if you only spin bought tracks you are supporting.

And if you download movies for "preview" purposes, that is supporting?

Music can just as easily be downloaded for "preview" purposes.
