both are completely useless. no one uses mp3's on cds. if you want to spin mp3's save yourself some money and buy either a couple of cdj1000's or 800's and a digital vinyl interface and software, like serato or torq. |

regular cds lol.....or serato if you wanna spin mp3's. a lot of clubs still have cdj1000mk2's as the standard setup, i've never seen mk3's in a club. having that many mp3's on a cd is just not practical, hard to manage the songs and hard to mix imo. and you can't mix 2 tracks on the same cd, therefore if you put a lot of mp3's on a single cd your mixing is very limited. i think the only exception between the cdj1000 mk2's and mk3's is the mp3 capability something which is not very useful. so regarding the original post, you should get cdj1000mk2's. that deck is a classic. |

i bought my mk2 off ebay a long time ago and its still working great! i don't think you have anything to worry about as long as you buy from a seller with good reputation, pioneer makes em tough as nails. a cdj800mk2 has mp3 capability, which like i said you really don't need. also the 800 series has one slight different feature than the 1000mk2 and thats the auto loop buttons and loop cutter, which the 1000 series does not. but overall the 1000mk2 has a better feel and better set of features, so definitely go with that. |

okay... i got you...
when you burn .mp3's you can only play it on a computer or some ...
as opposed to buring the actual tracks (which is like 80 minutes or so)...

uh....regular cd's hold 80 mins of music. when you burn actual mp3's onto a cd to be played on a cd player or cdj with mp3 capability your really burning as much data as the cd can hold. i.e. 700mb of mp3 files so you can really store several hundred mp3 songs on a cd.
lol did that even make any sense? sorry i suck at explaining stuff :tongue3 |

That is correct you can play the mp3 cd on any type of device that can read mp3s such as a computer, cd player or a cdj1000mk3 that reads mp3 files from that disk. This is burnt with a maximum of 700mbs per cd. When you burn an audio cd, if it was an mp3 before, it converts it to a wav file that plays in most standard cd players and the mk2 in this example. The limit is 80 mins per disk.
I would go with the MK2 as well. Hard to manage like Bucke said and is a pain to get to tracks you are looking for. Most venues I've come across don't even have MK3's. |
