    as a dj/producer i have to say that when i use a cdr
    in a set it's always my track. elson has given me cds
    to listen to, when he wanted me to play his tracks he
    gave me dubplates--yipee!!. i *hate* having to use a
    cd in a mix (unless i've got them pioneer cdjs!!)
    because it's hard to get it to flow, usually. most of
    the clubs i've played when they have cd players (rare)
    have the denons that i detest--who tested those damn
    things, and did they have to rock a dancefloor?
