    If you have both copies of the disk playing in both CDJs – wtf are you doing? Mix already!

    Amirite?

    If I print to the disk, what do I do when the disk is in the CDJ and I can’t read it?

    Yo Kelvin,

    1) Redbook looks like the best bet. I get high-quality audio and it’ll work everywhere.

    2) Traktor will let me export my playlists, which I can dump into a spreadsheet and burn using CD-Text from iTunes. Then I can print out the spreadsheet and make little paper labels to stick inside the CD wallet. A little fiddly, but should be manageable.

    I’d probably sort by BPM, but I’m a little off Mixed in Key and can’t be bothered keying by ear.

    There will be CDJs there to use. I don’t know what they do to deal with dust: but every sound camp I know has CDJs, so it must work well enough.

    I have to bring some kind of playback device, but a controller/laptop is expensive, prone to failure (playa dust kills electronics about 4 months later) and very heavy. I’ll be walking all over the place, so a wallet of CDs + a couple of USB sticks is about as much as I can reasonably carry. I will be sealing them in a ziplock bag when not in use 🙂

    My concern with MP3 CDs is that old CDJs don’t support them. Also, I use WAV normally, and a WAV CD holds no more audio than a standard Redbook/Audio CD.
