Just checked it out last night... very nice, much much MUCH more filtered down for quality than Beatport. I can click for hours on Beatport and find maybe 1 or 2 tracks. Amazing how much music gets signed by labels.

I also like Magneticgrooves, Resonant Vibes.

As for how I burn my music, I download new music and place it in a tracklist based on date (7-19-2006 Disc 1). If I get more tracks then fit on a disc, I'll create a second playlist "Disc 2".

I burn two copies of the playlists and label the CD's using an Epson printer to print the tracklist directly on the CD's.

It might actually make more sense in the long run to burn 1 track per cd (and maybe the remixes). Why? Because at some point you'll want to take tracks out of your "rotation", or keep favorites in the "rotation". Hard to do that when there are 5-6 tracks on the CD that you no longer want to play.

I get most of my tracks from Play It Tonight.

You guys seen this store? www.playittonight.com

One track per CD (or a couple if I've got a few different versions of that track), makes it SO much quicker to find things if you've got the name of the tune in massive letters on the CD...

All sorted oldest -> newest, i.e. when I get a new tune I just add it on the end.

Simple

i disagree, and most veteran dj will disagree as well. I personally favor having 1 track on a cd for these reasons:

1. If a cd is scratched, you lose 1 track. Not 10 of them
2. If you want to give someone a copy of a track, say like a groupie or another dj, you dont give away multiple tracks.
3. Club lighting is very dark, so its really hard to read those small print tracklistings. I personally write the track name with a Sharpie marker.
4. Having 1 track on a CD sorta feels like Im still using vinyl in a way.


Couldn't of said it any better
