got tired of carrying CD's + MP3's sound crappy so i took a different route...

 

is the bitrate on your MP3'S 320 KBPS??

 

can't remember-ebayed it couple years ago. i'm sure they have improved but MD isn't something ppl in the US want so it makes things cheap for me as an alternative...

 

couple trunk pics & a shot of my MD holder in glovebox...

 

MP3's sound crappy?? Perhaps to the trained ear of a hardcore audiofile. 99.8% of the population can't differentiate between a cd and a properly recorded mp3. Lets see, I have over 250 albums on my ipod that I have had for over 2 years now. All those albums ripped at a consistent 192 kbs. Truth is, a properly recorder MP3 track played on a Clarion Drz 9255 will sound better than anything played on a Pioneer head unit any day of the week.

 

yeah my pioneer deh-p9400mp is out of date so i'm looking into some other HU options...

I'm sorry man. Not trying to be an a$$. But, who really has a mini disc player these days? Didn't those things fall out of favor in 1998?

 

not in europe or japan. all the md/cd decks above are 2006 & newer. mp3 is superior in the us but not as popular overseas. when my brother was in Yokohama last year, he asked y very few ppl were rocking mp3s. they told him its not time effective for them to sit in front of a pc all day & download music. japan needs things yesterday is the phrase that was put to him. bullet trains are so punctual that the latest those trains run is 6 seconds...

 

y didnt you get a hard-drive radio, or one with a memory card adapter?

 

So uh.... do you dj with mini discs?

Or do you use mp3s with Serato!!!

 

vinyl only

 

Old school huh? Thats cool. Crazy but cool.

 

it's not really me. the club scene is still old fashioned. only clubs newer than '05 have adopted the cd/mp3 idea. everybody else is still vinyl. especially overseas. i think they are adopting the if it aint broke dont fix it mentally. the equipment would really benefit them if they would just catch up.

the most awesome dj set i witnessed was a resident DJ in Munich wirelessly stream his mix from his apple laptop to the club!! the club in germany is called Sens-es Club...
