cd vs mp3 vs vinyl

Which format is better to be a dj in 2010?

laptop dj's are popular these days (especially my friend who's a fag) and cd's are cheaper than vinyls, but most of my favorite songs are available on vinyl only. which format is recommended?

nothing is only avaliable on vinyl. you can rip it. the other way on the other hand is. and do a search. and stay in music discussion. or write a blogg.

so by ripping it, I would have to still buy it on vinyl first.

+1, especially since it means you can alternate between mp3's and vinyl.

I saw Greg Wilson a few weeks ago - he was dropping sound FX and stuff off a reel-to-reel throughout his set, great fun.

future is mp3, there are a few tracks that are only available on vinyl but labels are releasing remastered stuff from the past so if you think you need to play them day by day you'll have to carry less vinyls in your bag. And don't rip it to a cd, the quality loss is enormous, play it on vinyl or don't play.

when ripping from vinyl to cd or when burning mp3 to a cd? didnt really understand what u mean.


Posted by Goebbel Goebbel on Oct-15-2010 20:51:

if you are black, it doesn't matter what format you play...so long as israeli tech house guys don't steal your mojo.

teh best format in 2010....8 track


Posted by Mattsanity. on Aug-23-2012 21:05:

it's great to revisit this thread. everyone was helpful and I have to say that I'm satisfied with my tech 12's.
No offense to the talented djs who use cd's and mp3's, but I view cd's as fabulous car music and mp3's as gut-wrenching workout music.


Posted by Mmanu on Aug-24-2012 12:35:

hopefully mp3 will be obsolete soon enough.

that question cannot be answered everyone has their fav format. I can't really tell the diff anymore most people I hang with use all the music formats. If you want good sound you need high quality music AND high quality equipment. what good is a 9,000bit mp3 to the 2nd power if your playing through a shitty sound system in an average club?

most of my music is 320 mp3 and I play on vinyl thru serato. I never really fussed about formats. if songs only come in one format then i might fuss a lil. but its 2012 i don't fuss too much

I appreciate your equal balance of love for everything. I guess it's convenient to own all the "systems". if I ever get around in buying the ultra expensive cdj2000's, I hope it gets equal attention instead of me going straight to the turntables.
