With DJs almost as revered as professional writers these days, it's little surprise that the market for spinning equipment has exploded recently, or that iDJ manufacturer Numark is already back with an updated version of their original useful-but-flawed iPod mixer. iLounge is reporting that the iDJ2 will only require scratchers to use one 'Pod compared to the iDJ's two, from which it can not only play two songs simultaneously but also record your performance as well. Other niceties include an LCD screen for track-profiling and waveform display, scratch, pitch, loop, and cue controls, and USB and auxiliary inputs for hooking up nearly any audio source. We do know that this model will support MP3, OGG, and AAC tracks, but have no idea when it will be released, nor how much it will cost compared to its $250 predecessor.

"There are no barriers, only choices."

i want to get something like this....just for fun

however, instead of an ipod i'd want to plug in directly into my laptop or extrenal hard drive...can you do that with this?

either way it's pretty neat...if reviews are good i'll jump all over this. sure beats mixing with my mouse and keyboard.

yep, you can hook it up to three or more external USB2.0 Hard Drive if you don't want to use an iPod with it.

that Virtual Vinyl looks pretty sick. Does anyone know if it compares to SSL at all? price? functions? Or if it is even out yet.
