It's hardly a point against mp3s as a music source for DJs. Not all DJs are collectors, I wouldn't consider myself one.

mp3's are prone to being corrupted or lost through errors and whatnot. vinyl collects dust which is a vivid fashion and personality statement.

I don't know I guess I'll always be a vinyl purist. It's not that I don't respect dj's who use cdjs. I mean tracklist and the way you mix the tracks is by far the most important part of mixing, and if a dj picks the best tunes and mixes them well, he is doing his job. But aside from how it sounds, it's also a feeling. When you go to a rave, and you know the guy has no serato or cdjs to aid his beatmatching, you know he COULD **** up, and that makes it more exciting does it not? When he pulls of a tight mix you're like wow!

ask any of the top djs playing in the hardcore scene when the last time they used vinyl for anything other than scratching.

i'd like to think that a lot of the big names still go back to Vinly for a mix or two now and again. After all, this is what they grew up with.

Thats why you back them up...
And who cares if you can't sell them on? If I buy a track I never intend on selling it on... x_x

they don't. if they did they'd just be playing burnt out dub plates that sound like poo.

I'm sure at least some of them have all their back cat' on proper vinyl... Some of them will have vinyl collections even if they don't use them anymore.

Wrong. In Scott Brown's DVD you can see him using vinyl in one of his sets.

I saw Scott Brown playing a vinyl set at the Hardcore Heaven Weekender in 07! lol
To think that these guy's have stopped using vinyl altogether is laughable! Ok, they might not promote it as much seeing as everyone thinks CD decks are the future but if u think that all these guy's use is CD's, u should think again!

I'm pretty sure seduction uses vinyl too doesn't he? In some of his hardcore adrenaline sets you can hear him pushing the record forward to keep beatmatched...

Sounds the same on a CD-J or Serato etc. Still... Surprised someone is actually mixing on a commercial CD and not just doing it in some program on a computer!?

over in the U.S. we don't see them play vinyl because they would have to obtain a work visa to bring them into the country. In the UK they can play vinyl all day long because they live there. If they bring it here, they'd be either deported or would have to simply leave it at the airport.

cost to press a single vinyl versus burning it onto a cd to play right now.
you do the math djkenmasters, you may think it's laughable and that it's "the future" it's just the way it is man.

That may be BUT Vinyls are still going strong.
When Amato went bust you woudnt believe the number of vinyls that were lost / being pressed at the time :P
Have a guess :)
Try 10000 Vinyl Records + (would love a confirmation) XD
