michael i was really surprised to see you say that beatmatching with cd's isn't
that easy -- i've always been a vinyl guy myself, but the one time i got a chance
to play with a denon setup, i flipped at how easy it was to beatmatch, and beyond
that, how much else could be done (the best feature was changing tempo whilst
maintaining pitch). i ended up feeling guilty it was so easy, but also happy i
could have a couple extra rum&cokes and not screw up the mix....
