Well, DJ McCrary; The first of my objectives has been to decide on what source you wish to store all of your music. Depsite what a few others are saying on this and other websites; the era of carting around vinyl and CD’s has died in the wake of downloadable .WAV files. I’m going with external high capacity “flash” type hard drives for the music library.
The next objective for me, was to locate a source of uncompressed music (.WAV files) that would make the 4 woofers of the rig I’m working with “earn” their keep. Denver based “beatport” has provided an extensive availability of every facet of EDM (in uncompressed .WAV format), and there are many more such websites out there yet to be explored by me. If your music needs are for original 1950’s Elvis; then I’m afraid I have no advice to offer there.
Thus far, the “Pioneer” line of controllers has caught my attention as a good mid line introductory controller for me.
