Alright guys, I'll answer. At least the basic differences..it's hard to explain without showing you, especially if you haven't used cd players.
CDJ mode acts like 99% of CD players. If you spin the platter while the track is playing, it pitch bends up or down. If the track is paused and you move the platter, it searches frame by frame through the cd..basically moves where the pause point is. What you hear in the headphones is whatever frame you're on (a frame is 1/75th of a second) at the moment replaying over and over so you know exactly where you are.
Vinyl mode emulates a turntable. Basically think of the platter as a turntable, although it doesn't actually spin. Now, if you spin the platter while it's playing, it's exactly like you spun the record in that direction (i.e. you don't normally do this). Note that there is an outer ring around the platter that you can spin and it acts like you spun the platter in CDJ mode. If it's paused and you move the platter, it moves it however much a record would move if you had moved it that much. And it'll start playing if you let go of the platter. If you don't let go, it won't keep playing the frame you're on like in CDJ mode...again it sounds just like a turntable.
There's the basics. There are other little things like in CDJ mode it pauses when the track ends, whereas in vinyl mode it continues on to the next track...but i'm not gonna go through all that.
P.S. I use CDJ mode.
