    Have a look into getting that collection converted into digital mp3 format then look at possibilities surrounding decks/laptops. Otherwise CDJs are the norm even with controllerists on the rise!

    Ditto to what Terry 42 said. I digitized all my cd’s to mp3 and never looked back. It’s liberating!

    DISCLAIMER – a lot of people have very strong opinions on doing this. I recommend experimenting with it, maybe on a friends rig, and seeing what you like or dislike about it. The best way to dj is the way that makes you feel like you are having a good time and honoring your art.

    I was on this very board, asking this very question about a year ago. First of all, these people are great, secondly, they told me to go with what I felt. I went Digital, started with a Kontrol S2 and F1 combo along with a $200 laptop off eBay, a year later I have a regular paying club night, and have had a few shows regionally. I have not questioned my decision. I was mostly worried about appearances (i.e. will people see me as less professional), but those worries went away as I gained experience with the gear and improved through practice.
