go for wma! :twisted: :twisted:

I would for space issues mp3. For sound use the original wav.

Sorry but i don't like Mp3... :cry: I hear my music simple audiofiles!! :!:

Re: mp3 or wav - What is better for djing?

On a good club sound system you'd hardly be able to distinguish any differences between MP3 320 kbit and WAV. I would however advise against lower MP3 bitrates, because that could loose some vital dynamics of the orginal tune.

^ Agree.

i wouldnt entertain anything under 192kbps, but of course .wav will be higher quality.

:Stupid:

WAV all the way...

Doesn't matter what Bit rate of MP3, your still losing some data from the file. 320Kbps is about as close as your your going to get to the original quality.

Re: mp3 or wav - What is better for djing?

if presented the choice of mp3 or wav, go wav everytime... you can't go wrong with that

If you don't want people to try and punch you in the face because of low quality, use wav.

1st choice...WAV 2nd choice...320K MP3 3rd choice...192-320K MP3 (variable bit rate if you have it) 4th choice...160K MP3 (desperation)

128..forget it...

Consider also the soundsystem you're playing on...a basic-oriented place/small room setup, a 320K MP3 you're not going to notice...heck, even most 192's if encoded right (usually w/LAME, etc.) you'll hardly feel or notice much of a difference.

If you're on a superclub-type system, you'll probably hear some difference even at a 192.

MP3 CD's stay away from...burning issues sometimes, and scanning through tracks are not as full and precise as regular WAV/standard CD's.
