I listen to CDs. This is not really a choice of asthetics but simply
because my CD player is better than my record player, and i'm not about to
go buy a record player when I can just keep that money and buy more CD's.
Besides they're relativly portable and all my friends have CD players. THe
only people I know who've got record players are some DJ's I know. And why
they stick to the records as opposed to CD's? I assume it's the same reason
as why I stick to the CD's. Until some famous person declares that DJing
with CDs is cool I think records will remain at the front of dj technology.
However i'm not really thinging of scratch dj's, thats totally different.
But simply mixing two records together kinda DJs.
