* * * New Pioneer DMP-555! :d * * *

just visted the Pioneer website yesterday and saw their new upcoming CD player..:

It will probably be about US$100-200 more than the CDJ-1000's when it comes out, but thats still heavey it my pocket..
It can play MP3's burnt onto CD-R's or MP3's from an SD (?) card. But it says down the bottom that only a 16mb SD card is supplied?!?!?! If there isn't any SD card bigger, i think the SD would be quite useless. And normal wav CD's. Has many of the same features from the CDJ-1000, except that the digital scratch on it may be similar to those on the American DJ pro Scratch, Gemini CD-1800X, etc. (scratch is not as instant as CDJ-1000's). It also has the same kind of construction to these but more familiar, to the CDJ100's..

Quite good innovation by Pioneer.. but its still too damn expensive.. Here are more details:

What do you think about the new DMP-555?

u know what i think?

i think its a piece of sh*t

i mean ya ya it m8 have'em all fancy options and stuff?!?!

but what da hell is this
i dont wanna go to the DJ booth with 2 CD'z burned each 100 mp3
that sucks!!!!...

i think piooner's next idea will be builiding a robat that will replace human in djing...

this is really wank, go buy the CDJ 100's (they rule)

Well, DJ-Energy, I agree with you on some of the things.
Anyway, this thing is totally unnecessary, every serious DJ Can do just fine with a pair of the Pioneer CDJ-100S players.
its a shame to waste your money on this thing simply because you will not use it fully.

A lot of things are useless like the 3 band isolator, mixers have those, or use the rotary, whichever.

All you really need for a cd player is: output, pitch slider, cue/play, stop, pause, on, off and track selection

Looks cool but...
Let's say I go to dj with 3 mp3cds wich have 100 tracks each.
what if I want to mix 2 songs from the same cd?
And please don't tell me "choose another track" This is why I believe mp3cdjs are useless... I had the same when I went to dj with CDr (about 10 tracks each).
SO AFTER ALL : 12"s RULE AND WILL RULE FOREVER!!!

Totally Agree with You, Im Djing with Vinyls and sometimes with CDs.. but when I burn My CDs.. By Example... I Downloaded a Vynyl Rip, Side A and Side B.. just 2 tracks.. I Just Burn my Cd with those 2 tracks (Couse have happened what u said about two tracks in the same Disc, Even in Wav CDs... u can imagine a MP3 Disc.. errr) ..i dont matter waste space in the disc, so.. that mp3 Feature will sucks to me too.....

PS: Imagine see a DJ entering in a club with just 2 disc at Hand (I hope never see that)

burn the 3 disks each one 2 times this is not the problem.....

and that it's play mp3 it's only can help you as a DJ i know that if all of you had the money and you could choose between those or the cdj 100s you would take those amazing cd players..... pioneer did amazing think with that compact......

Last time i checked they were gonna retail for $1500 US not $500 US
BUt anyway, i think it's bullshit and they are not worth the money...

Imagine mixing a incomplete mp3 file!
like there's only 2 minutes of the track or less!
