Ok, well since I can't test you I'll assume that somehow you as a trained sound engineer with freakish hearing can tell the difference. But your average joe with normal hearing in a club while on drugs or alcohol is not going to be able to tell if the DJ is spinning MP3s or wavs assuming the sound system is set up properly and they are using high quality MP3s so really the whole discussion is moot.

ditto. plus i'm willing to bet that most dj's who use some sort of digital vinyl software (i.e. serato or torq) are NOT spinning wavs. you're also forgetting the gargantuan size of wav's and the amount of hard drive space they would require for a dj with a serious music collection. for audiophiles, yes wav's sound a lot better, but from a djing standpoint 320kbps mp3s are good enough for the average audience.

My hearing is no better than anyone else's, really. My ability to hear certain things more than someone else has nothing to do with birth-right, and more to do with working with sound and training one's self to notice what's actually there. Anyone with normal hearing can be trained to do it.

Says who? The DJ? And why is it that some DJ's say the opposite of this? I'd be willing to bet the one's who say it's "ok" have several motives for it, as were stated before.

Bottom line; MP3 is about settling for less. And it IS settling, make no mistake about it.

I have bought and downloaded over 600 tracks from beatport almost all in WAV. Each on is like 70-80megs, yeah, that takes up quite a bit of space. That's why I have a 200gb HD in my Lappy!

I bet you PVD ain't playing mp3's

I usually burn in 320KBPS format. if i have extra cash or know somebody with the WAV ill ask. but the song has to be clean no re-encodes just digital. i preview the tracks a lot of times before actually burning the track.

I usually burn with Windows Media Player. i think its easy and fast. also i like the simple layout!
