one good thing about not having vinyl anymore would be people wouldnt be spelling it "VYNIL" or "VINUL" or "VINIL"

I love Vinyl but I bought cd's, The accessibility does not make everyone one a master dj, god do I know that. Beat matching is Beat matching, everyone has to learn and nothing will change that (yet) with Turtablism Vinyl will never die but cds will take a more dominant role. This arguement that chicks love it is a little to playground for me, but I have a wife so what do i care!! I do not hate someone for pushing a few buttons because it is the sounds that I am into what ever you play them on, and a cracking set is a cracking set. That makes the DJ. I got cd's for the choice they offered, where am i going to get over 600 albums on Vinyl with ruining my child's future? I would never find Ziggy Stardust on Vinyl now in any worth while condition or price. I would spend hours in second shops and i want to be a dJ or a raver not an anorak. I do like the smell of Vinyl but that is not enough of a reason to buy it as a singular thing. I Buy my cds over 500, only a minority is burnt and only because i could never get it in the shops, I also do not play it at public events. Cds are light and easy to transport, they do skip but so do dogdey needles espcially if that nob right by your table keeps leaping up and down. I want to add decks to my system but the two systems offer two very different draw backs and bonuses, Vinyl = You can learn to scratch properly and it sounds REAL!!! Cds = Quick cues,loops samples etc. I feel like sometimes cd jocks are put down due to a popular radio thang, that is unfair. The same type of thing comes up with MCs, their are good and crap ones. Though I do love the smell of Vinyl it is not enough for me to consider it being a singular option. I want to buy more Lights and lasers and bubbles machines and smoke machines. I have been able to do so because I do not import records all year. Plus some tunes you simply can not get even if you wanted to burn them, the only way I will ever get a version of Dj Seductions Black Beauty is by finding a way into his will (NOT LIKELY!) So the precious tunes will remain precious come what may. Old Dubplates and Vinyl will still be out there but it will become like penny black stamps, you know they exisit but you can never have one , the price will be to much. Cds mean't I could start into dance music straight away, with spending a ton Vinyl could never have done that. The Vinyl look is cooler but cds offer so much to so many, sadly some of them will be Pr!cks but some will be cool as .... besides I have met plenty of Vinyl Djs who want even let you turn their stuff, with the cds I have never become that kind of TW*T!!! Anyone can have a go on my gear and the more the better. Bustin of others Imagination is what I enjoy and cds allow that for me, so personal get both but if you have to choose the obvious choice is cds for any beginner.

well thats another lovely essay for us to read. I agree though that cds are cheaper and offer a bigger oppertunity. That is why i am getting a cd deck too. I still wanna get the tunes i really want on vinyl but i will try and get a lot on cd too. Just gives me a better chance to get somewhere without spending a bomb
Peace, love and unity
