just to show you guys the other side, I have been writing BPMs on my vinyls for 10 years now and I don't do it for beatmatching (which doesn't work anyway).
BUT, I have always played very fast (pitch at +8%) and that's the reason for the BPMs. Say I'm playing some "Servant Of Light - Exhale" at +8 and search for a new record. I want to play "Voodoo & Serano - Blood Is Pumping". Normally you would take the record, put it on the platter, take your headphone, adjust the pitch a little and THEN find out you can't make it fast enough. Bring the record back, search for another one. Start all over.
That is time consuming and doesn't happen to me, cause I know that "Blood Is Pumping" runs at 137 bpm and won't go as fast as I need it.
that's the whole reason for me to use BPMs on the vinyl. Now go ahead and bash me for that!
