One plays vinyl records (TT) the other plays CDs (CDJs)
That's the difference. The CD players, you slide in, you don't scratch the CD. You can use the jog-wheel/platter for pitch bending and cueing. Turntables, you use the vinyl record/tonearm-needle to cue and the sides of the platter to pitch bend. The differences...are quite obvious. But there are different CD players, some that have spinning platters like TTs (Denon's line), some which try to emulate the feel of vinyl and the scratching (most Pioneer CDJs) with jog-wheel/platter, and others that are dual-CD players which are often rackmountable and use a simple jog wheel to cue, and sometimes have built in mixers. Turntables look different, and feel different, and are a lot bigger, heavier and use motors, they are analog but can be plugged into a computer for digital (like with Serato), while CDJs often are run by a processing unit and CD-Drive.
You can't burn a CD to use on a turntable (obviously, cause it plays vinyl records, not CDs). Numark and Gemini have hybrid tables which do both, but your better off..if you like the feel of TTs but want to play digital files...to get Serato or Torq. |

700 MB or 80 minutes, which is more like 79.58 or 79.59, it depends on the CD/CD-Drive. With most EDM songs averaging 6 minutes, your talking about 10 to 11 tracks, but some EDM genres have longer tracks (like trance and prog house). Some CD players play MP3 discs, which can hold something like 4500 MBs (4.5 gigs)..so with EDM, it could mean 35 to 40 tracks per CD. |

I wanna get me some 4.5 GB CD's!! ;) :p
Seriously, Spirit5's right though you can get approx 35 typical trance mp3's at 320kbps on a CD. Obviously the lower the bitrate the more mp3's per CD.
As for differences, the only things I can add are:
Convenience - you can buy tracks any time of day or night from digital download stores then start mixing with em instantly
Storage - vinyl can take up lots of room when you have lots of it, CD's just fit in a few wallets
Damage - if you come home from work & your dog has attacked your vinyl collection leaving it in little black plastic shreds you are left with a huge bill & potentially impossible to find tracks. Or you could just re-burn your CD's...
Ownership - I guess it's nice to have something physical that you own like you get with vinyl. You dont get that feeling with a bunch of faceless CDR's
Extras - CDJ's allow storing of cue & loop points, they have beat cutters etc etc & load of features not found on vinyl decks |

+1. I would definitely stick to pioneer equipment. Gemini = garbage. Also make sure that CDJ800 are MK2, not MK1. If they're MK1 - get CDJ200. |

| I think the best thing would be to learn on normal turntables then move on to cdj's when you either want to play out or expand your music collection. |

If money is an issue. You're better off getting a pair of Pioneer CDJs. Very quickly, it will be a lot cheaper than vinyl. Vinyl records are expensive (about $10 US Dollars each) and they're becoming harder to find. With CDJ's you can always buy the music online ($1-$3 US Dollars) than burn it to CD. If a CD gets damaged, you can always re-burn it.
Another thing to consider is maintenance. With vinyl, you have to constantly keep buying needles. Those add up too. I just bought one tip last night and it cost me $35 US Dollars. Maintenance on the CDJ's is very minimum. The cables on the turntables go bad pretty quick. If you don't know how to solder, that becomes an issue too. Than if your ground cable is loose or something goes wrong with it, you get weird noises. Turntables are more of a hassle, but vinyl feels great!
