If you need beat matching and whatnot, then you can buy expensive software with all of that built in. It's much, much easier to DJ from a big laptop screen than a tiny iPod screen.

A laptop seems like it'd be much easiler to deal with, and DJ's aren't the type of people who complain about carrying a few extra pounds around. The main point of my post was to imply that a certain person familiar with the developent of mp3 player firmware recently went to work for Numark. Matthew

Take an existing idea, add iPod to it, and whoosh it's, like, so much cooler! I'm a borderline Apple zealot, but the utterly undeserved hype the iPod gets bothers the hell out of me. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff
