lol i'm done with this flame war...its truely pointless.

Anywhoo,

Yeah my main thing i would like to see is a tighter loop function.

I think that if they add the USB support they are going to have to really find a GOOD way to search through the possible thousands of files that DJ's can have. That's my main concern with the whole USB idea.

As far as CD's though, i doubt that will go out for a long time.

i love how everyone is already fighting about it and we don't even know what this new unit will have

any DVS still doesn't operate at a full 100% stability, there's still a concern that it will crash or screw up in a gig (i saw it myself on friday)

as much as i'd love to ditch carrying around a big record bag full of cds, i still don't trust any DVS to make a full switch just yet, i'll be using cds for a few more years probably

i'd like to see what this new unit offers before passing any sort of judgement

Well, obviously I wouldn't get rid of what I have now per se, I'm talking more in terms of future buyers.

Exactly, and it's not just stability (even though they ARE really stable now) issues with DVS's, it's booth space, problems setting up/tearing down when playing with other DJ's, and of course lugging a $2000 laptop into a booth full of cocktails, smoke, etc.

Most people who are using DVS's do so because it's nice to have a big jukebox of your tracks, playlists/crates, etc that you can easily search through. If the browsing interface on this new player is really good, I can see a lot of people using it when playing out rather then setting up a PC and all of that. It's the same luxury one has now with showing up with a CD book and headphones, except now you don't have to burn CD's and you can find things easier.

On the other hand, applications like Traktor Scratch Pro give you a lot of additional features such as advanced looping, effects, 4 decks, etc, so I think there is room for both in the market place.

zabiella looks tired

i'm liking the idea of going into a club with 2 usb thumb drives and my headphones and rocking a show out, i just didn't like the interface with the 400

if we're getting all that media expandability in a 1000 chassis with a nice screen to go through and display said media, i'm game

for now though, we play the waiting game
