pretty much

I buy mp3 because I can't justify the cost of .wav. I'm planning on eventually getting a pair of Tech 12's and getting myself setup with Traktor or something, at that point, or maybe even sooner than that, I'll start collecting vinyl as well.

usually 320kbps mp3, or flac.

i decided when i finally got my turntables that I was just going to go into the record store dig around and buy what i like. i don't want to get too caught up in trying to own this track or that track because it's too expensive trying to buy stuff offline personally. i know i don't live in a great record city like detroit or new york, but that also means i can probably find some gems that aren't snatched up. i'm sure if i ever got to a point where i wanted to play out i'd get more mp3s though...i just buy music for me right now and keep it eclectic

I use wavs because i want to hear every single detail while i'm in the mix. i don't want lost data. Also about the crowd not hearing the difference, thats them. Oh well

That's really all I've ever done when buying music apart from buying some here and and there for the g/f.

I bought my decks back in '03 and I am constantly kicking myself for not going CDJ back then. It's just too expensive for me to order vinyl on the net with the shipping costs/exchange rate anymore.
