Being a DJ isn't all about mixing. Sorry if this insults some people, but there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who can mix two tunes together just as well as Armin, Ferry or PvD, just as there are a large number of big-names who's mixing isn't 100%.

Being a good DJ is about creating an atmosphere and connecting with the crowd. When I'm at a club listening to Picotto do I really care if the tunes are coming from a record, CD or mp3? No.

The DJ's of the future (and to an extent the present) will use all kinds of media in their sets. Mp3 is just another way to store music. It's the music we go clubbing for, not a round plastic-like disc with grooves in it.

I'm glad that you said MOST. I wouldn't download and use that for playing at a club or something mainly because of the quality! 192's SHIT compared to CD, vinyl, and DAT! 320's (LAME 3.92 or better) better but, whoever knows EXACTLY WHAT to listen for will notice the difference (there's VERY few people out there who can hear this difference) will hear it. Maybe ONLY the creators of MP3 can hear it. If so, who cares then? If 320's (LAME 3.92+) good enough for ANYONE EXCEPT FOR THR CREATORS OF MP3, let this become standard format for music distribution!
