| Actually I'v been fantasizing the Metal Record idea too, but unless something like that is really invented in the future, CDs (Mostly burned ones I guess) and Finalscratch are gonna take over for sure. |

Vinyl isn't rip-proof either. Just hook a line-out to your computer and BINGO.

As for my opinion on this matter.. I think that vinyl will still be the most used format for about 5 more years until we see a crossover into CD territory. Vinyl will still be around, and still used by DJs, but CDs will start becoming the format of choice. Of course by this time, technology will probably allow some kind of CD player that emulates vinyl extremely closely.
they do. it's really expensive though:

I think vinyl will be around a long time too. i have my technics, and a mixer, and i will never give them up.
however, i do want a couple of CDJ1000s and also finalscratch to play mp3s with.
some songs you just CAN'T get, they are too rare, and impossible to find. but you can always find the mp3s.
there is also this from pioneer, it's even MORE expensive, and really, not all that cool if you ask me.

What, I ask you, is the point of having CD players that emulate vinyl in the first place? If you want the feel of vinyl, goddamn well use vinyl! Keep CD players as CD players, and don't pretend they're what they're not, which is any good at all for DJ'ing. |

They aren't AS good as vinyl, but you can use CD players.
for rare tracks you can't get on vinyl, or for samples burned on a CD, or any number of things, they are very convenient. |

''what, I ask you, is the point of having light bulbs that emulate the sun in the first place???'':rolleyes: your answer: to INNOVATE .... the reason is to create versitality, a higher choice in the market for dj's, and, once again, to innovate in technology.....

| final scratch is the answer, all the feel of good old traditional TT's with all the hypes of technology, and I'm sure when more competion sees this, prices will drop, quality will increase, and I will have it :D sorry, TT are $$$ as is, screw dropping 1k+ on some CD mixers that ALMOST do the job that vinyl does |

| The only single problem with vinyl is: $! If you don't live in the US or any big country with strong currency or tons of local record labels you just have to pay top dollar to import what you like and it is prohibitively expensive. I hate having to live in my country because of this single detail. Those other options where you just have to buy a deck and just cheap cdrs are really appealing. The feel of vinyl is great, the shape and the control but, I would just have to settle with the only 10 or less vinyls I could buy in a month. cds must be an alternative. |

| ive always considered that quite a large part of djing is "image" - spinning the latest funkiest trendiest tunes, pulling the chicks.. and all that sorta stuff... djing with cds for me just seems like pretend djing (not that im saying any less skill is involved) but its just not the real mcoy |

DJing involves playing music in front of a crowd. Ascension, you have obviously confused the "gravy" portion of the job with the actual bread and butter.
The skills required for djing are the same damn skills whether you use vinyl, cds, or a victrola, or a freakin 8 track player.
Image is nothing. Talent is everything. :) |

vynil will most likely ALWAYS be around until the day we die. some things will never change, only get improved. there's no other medium possible that is as physical as vynil, no other medium that allows you to work with it, with such ease.
vibrations -> a signal -> an amp -> a magnet -> your ears. the way it should be. |
