mp3 dj-tools are still more toys than real tools... I guess they will
evolve a lot in the future... You can't do much with a mouse: you need
a separate, dedicated controller for dj'ing with the computer.

You can do same things on cd's already, and you can do more.

That's actually what I meant, but the better sound doesn't count on
the gigs: You can't hear the difference on the dance floor because the
poor acoustics and the habit to boost the bass too much out there. It
doesn't make sense very much to take vinyls on the gigs, IMHO... I
think that dj's spoil their wrists just for the street credibility, or
something.

As I said, dj's will continue to use vinyls as the source material.
They might even use 24 bit/96 khz samples of those vinyls on their dj
gigs...

MP3 is the new technology of today with lots of flaws. In the future,
the compression technologies will be better. And if you have a hard
disk large enough, you don't _need_ to compress the audio data...
