it's tough to put into writing what to do
i suggest go out to a local clubnight or something and just stand by the dj booth and watch

or get friendly with a local dj and pick his/her brain

or you can just lock yourself in a room and play with the stuff...
get to know your equipment, play with it, and try things out

I couldn't tell ya

At my job, they have soem CD players, and I suck at mixing songs in and out.

I say find someone that has CD players and let them teach you soem basic concepts.

I have one of them and i find them easy to mix but again hard to explain in writing.

go return them CD players and get some Turntables

turntables are more hands on.
so its more fun

but for those hard to find tracks
cd players are the way to go

I agree with most when they say turntables are better, there is something about being able to physically touch the vinyl, but yea I'm planning on gettin a CDJ soon, I have a three channesl mixer and need to fill that other channel.
