nah. most of these "deejays" just crossfade songs, meaning they let one song start as another one ends. such things can be easily accomplished using ceedees. of course, i've heard of an elusive bunch that actually utilize the record *player* as an instrument, although these are mostly mythological creatures. cheers, /derek - - - - - - - - "At the end we preferred to travel all night, Sleeping in snatches, With the voices singing in our ears, saying That this was all folly." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
