I do know of two other folks using CD's to DJ with, though both are pretty small-time (at least for now). Plus, I like this CD. To listen to. It's nice to have it released on CD, but it would be nicer for it to be released on vinyl so everybody would buy a copy and play it at parties. So I guess that my opinion is that, yes, there is a reason for this CD to exist. Jesse -- Jesse Stricker (jstrick@duckmail.uoregon.edu) -- I Think Very Deeply
