The fact that you can mix your CDs make it all the better, you don't have to go digging through a crate to find the track you're looking for, just have a ton loaded up on a single CD.

Also, if you're using a laptop in conjunction, you could always burn a CD on the fly and never be left without an important track.

As you know the CDJ-2000 have the USB, ethernet jazz and more, but most bars/clubs other than the big ones aren't going to have that setup for some time I think…

So I'm playing it safe for now and burning everything on CDs as an audio CD (no data disc mp3s even though it's supported).

I don't think I've bought a stack of CDR in ages and the one that I have is still sitting there, other than making the occasional mix CD I generally don't touch em.

It would be nice if they moved so you can use DVDRs or even better – USB sticks/SSD drives. Throw in a 30gb SSD and you're set for a really long time.

Hell, at this point just integrate a micro computer and just allow you to stream your collection into internal memory.

Thanks for the comment Psyence :)

This is most likely because of lack of demand on CD-Rs when you can fit so much more on a DVD (data-wise), and I suspect most people use discs for data rather than the few who use'em to DJ. <br><br>It almost makes me want to switch to digital-only, because CDs are feeling ancient now, too.
