Hi, I have about 6000 vinyls myself and countless Cds which were all baught with sweat and tears. I think you misjudge those who do it for play and those who think they need to live on DJing which in itself is pretty accurately not a way of earning unless you produce tracks and beats which themselves are dope.
As for mp3s, if i buy tunes on itunes, buy them from such places as bleep, boomcot, alpha pup, stones throw and other online mp3 sales places, i'm definetely not buying some tracks coming out of commercially oriented, play on the radio till you shoot yourself in the head tracks. Its for personal use first and foremost, to play music for oneself, then for a smaller crowd. I'm not speaking for those who lug their crates around nor those with hard drives with extensive material which might or might not have been downloaded their own way. This said, its rather much beyond better to just carry a digital dj set than all the crates, cd pouches and all that stuff when quality is just the same on mp3s and a fraction the weight. As for the license to DJ, it used to be like that back in the days. If you wanted to try some vinyls, either you just baught it or you had a license and showed it to the sales person. It'd be miserable though if everytime someone djayed and they were sent to jail cuz 1 mp3 out of 200 was downloaded from an illegitimate source. Things evolve, and no one has a clear crystal ball over this, but you now usually get rights to do things with other's productions through contact, exchange and such. Don't know what type of muzak you used to spin but would be interested to Best regards, Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
