| I just don't understand why anyone would want to play mp3s. Why not just burn audio cd's? |

Storage capacity. You can fit ALOT more mp3's as files on a single disc vs recording them as audio. |

They save much space.
Regular audio CD's hold maybe 10-12 Club mix's on each one. Take an mp3 disc, you can hold about 120 Club Mix's. Imagine going to an event, and never having to eject CD's. Load 2 cd's up, with 120 tracks on both. Wallah! your show. Great for the Wedding/Mobile DJ's.
Or At a club. Run 4 decks, 2 vinyl, and 2 CD's. load up an mp3 disc for looping and sampling. You can use the 2 cd decks to put over top of songs to make some wicked remix's Live, while spining on 2 vinyl tables.
Just some of the things the digital tools can be used for :eyes: |

if you were to burn a mp3 as audio...what file extension does it give?
the cdj-200's play wav files as well correct? |

Bearing in mind that you woudn't be able to mix tunes that are on the same CD, so couldn't get away with too much of that! |

2 decks, 2 cd's of over 120 songs on it. Set. Besides, go dj a wedding, see how much mixing you'll get in. Certainly wouldn't be a hot Rave or anything. |

So do you mean having the same tracks on both CDs? Aaaah i see what you mean! I just thought that you'd be kinna screwed if you thought to yourself 'this tune would be perfect next...except its on the disk im already playing...' |

the CDJ800 is so sexy :eyespop:
So the ONLY differences between the 200 and 800/1000 is the MP3 support (not for long apparently), the jog dial, and the pitch resolution? Everything else is the same no? |

Burning an MP3 as an audio track will convert it to a wav on the CD. |

No it doesn't...
It turns it into a CD cue...
Try copy/pasting a song off a burnt audio CD and see what it gives you ;) |

800 allows for scratching i believe. |
