DO you ever find yourself playing one side of the record over the other? I know for some strange reason, I always rock the B-Side, so much that by the time I wear it out, the record is somewhat bowled and only works properly on that side only.

i rock the A side b/c of the deeper gruves

word I didnt think about that. I mainly use it, cuz for Relative mode, you can let it run longer, but ya... koo!

i rock the a sides cuz of the vinyl scroll option at the middle of the record. i didn't know about that for a long time and it's mad convenient.

I rotate the record 90 degrees and play the edge of the record only.

I rock the B side almost exclusively because 1) it runs longer, and 2) my A sides are a little warped :(

B side here..

I rock the A sides because the B sides are little warped =P. And because of the wider grooves.

I rock the shiny side, why? because I use CDs... hehehehe :-P

B...its not as tight for some reason

i use b...no real reason i guess. i only use abs mode though.
shiestO! 7:51 PM - 28 February, 2007
@ mister iLL--- if you're usin only absolute mode go a side (especially if you have no reason for using b) so you can use the VINYL scroll option. scroll thru songs without touching computer or mouse, all vinyl. it's awesome. (forgive me if you know this i felt th eneed to explain it)

I rock the B side because its a little warped and spins better + my decks suck and dont have enough torque for me to rock the a side.
