    Yes they’ll be fine.
    The M44-7s are very popular with scratch DJs and turntablists because they track and hold the groove very well. They’re a bit hard on the vinyl tho if vinyl wear is an issue. Their M44Gs or M35Xs may be a better choice if record wear is an issue and you’re not into scratching and turntablism.

    The styli need to match the carts. When you buy new carts they will come with styli, it’s a good idea to consider the price of replacement styli when buying carts tho as they will wear out or get damaged and need replacing at some point.

    A cheaper alternative is to just buy new styli for the carts you have. If you picked up the Stantons 2nd hand you may just need to give the styli a good clean, if you’re lucky .

    Ikea sell legs and feet tooo 😉
    I’ve seen a few Expedit based builds where people have even put the legs on the top surface and attached another level on top, which tuned out nice.

    I had 1 made to measure a lot like the Sefour 1 in the OP with some extra stands and a laptop/monitor shelf in the middle by an eBay seller who makes them from MDF to order so it’s exactly the right height for me and all my gear is within reach.

    Mp3tag.de and the Discogs plugin I mentioned in the tagging thread will drop the artwork in the tags for you.

    Traktor creates and stores a stripe, a coverart and a transient file when it analyses each track.
    The stripe is the waveform display and the transients are the beats.

    I waited 6 days for for it to analyze my collection (50 000+ tracks (I’m not a pirate btw my collection goes back to the mid 80s)) when I updated to TSP2 (AMD4200 processor), creating about 13G of files including the collection.nml (I’m still adding coverart and tags to the tracks so I’d expect the total HDD space use to be higher if they were all complete).
    If time is a problem you can select files for it to analyze and do it in sections instead of doing it all in 1 go.

    You can search for tracks and compile playlists/sets via the tags. As you can fill the tags with all kinds of info like BPM, key, genre, artist, title, release, label …etc tagging them properly and having the ability to search via the tags can really help you stay ontop of your collection and find tracks easily as your collection grows.

    Traktor doesn’t let you compile smart playlists (searching for multiple tags and rules) but you can with Trainspotter (tspotter.net) or iTunes.

    It’s a nifty little script that scrapes the data from Discogs.com

    I think this is the 1 I’m using

    MP3Tag.de and a Discogs plugin on the PC
    Sometimes I’ll tidy them up with Trainspotter if I’m making a playlist and find an incomplete file.
