About 2, maybe 2 and a half years ago, I saw some dual MD players in the adds in the back of the DJ mags. Then all of a sudden they disappeared and I never heard sigh or sound of them again until now. How strange is that?

Perhaps I�m loosing my marbles!

the thing you are referring to is also about 2 years old. I used it cause I was interested. It's shittier than I expected. Cueing is a pain in the a��. Maybe the memory they used is too small or too slow, but I didn't like it (and I DO like lots of CD players).

Just because you can DJ with minidiscs, doesn't mean that anybody would ever want to do that.

I don't get it, why do people always try to reinvent the wheel (of steel hehehe).

Well, there more compact than vinyl. You could carry thousands of tunes with you in a small bag. There more compact than CD�s as well. The MD decks would be great if they were like those new Pioneer virtual vinyl CD type decks. (Sorry can�t remember the name.)

Well you have your record bitches and groupies for the record carrying purposes ... just load up a couple of record bags/cases and promise a few people VIP/Guestlist privileges. They'll take care of the hauling. I still don't see a point of MD players

Records also look WAY cooler. People would actually WANT to carry your cases. Imagine asking somebody to carry your MiniDisc wallet to a party. Not going to happen. It's all about the style, y'know.

If your into DJ�ing to look cool and for style, your in it for the wrong reasons mate.

Posted by skywarp on Apr-13-2002 08:28:

Yeah, you say that just 'coz you don't get groupies and you still have to carry your own rekkids.

I'm not sinking to the bait of turning this into a flame war. The only thing I will say to you now is:

Grow up.
