    i also use CD's and also do a 2weekly internet radio broadcast..... when i
    travel i take about 100 CD's with me in caselogic sleeves, when dj'ing
    locally i add a box of about 100 cd's...i don't prepare in advance at
    all...i do try to find out what kind of audience is there and how open they
    are/what kind of music i am expected to play..but as you say with cd's you
    can take A LOT of music with you....often i try to think of 2 or 3 tracks to
    begin with.....so i can focus on the mixing and audience response and i go
    freestyle from there...it always works out fine....
