| well if you use kazzaa and grab ty quality tunes it will sound like ass. but if you go to sites like beatport it won't sound bad at all. |

| In all reality, a cd should sound better than a vinyl, providing its an actual cd-r, or if it is a a quality tune. but I only use Vinyl. |

| depends on the quality of the recording. but for general purposes, a BOUHGT 192-320kbps mp3 will sound fine. unless it's an audiophile soundsystem. |

| I've played mp3s from beatport and audiojelly on decent sized club systems and anyone who says they can notice the difference compared to vinyl is having a laugh. |

| depends totally on the quality of the compression ;) on a big system a 192 mp3 will sound awful. |

But, anyone who would have you believe you can't use CD's at a large club is full of ... all depends on recording quality, but if you go out at all these days to see quote "Big Draw" DJ's, a lot of them are integrating CD's and Vinyl in the same set and no one's sitting on the dance floor with a pen and paper going "That ones a CD... that ones a vinyl" etc. |

| I was recently in Las Vegas, and went clubbin' at ICE. 3/4 of the DJs there were spinnin' on the DJV-X1 (just audio..). Its a growing fad. In a loud club, I highly doubt you can hear a difference. |
