Hi

I want to add more to my library(other than pool music) and was thinking if the quality of itunes is ok to DJ at weddings and parties or should I buy used CDs? becasue I just finished ripping part of my collection (110cds) are done so far

Thanks in advance

iTunes is fine for Djing.

Thanks for replying so quickly.
I love this forum. In the other forums they would've ignored me or would start to hate on me for asking that kind of question.

Yep.

By the way Jumbo650.
Set iTunes to rip your CDs to MP3's at 320 kbps and you'll be fine.

i mean, did u listen to any of the itunes songs? can you compare the quality of itunes music to your ripped music?

do u think i tunes sells music that is not acceptable to play on loud sound systems?

itunes music should be fine.

itunes store-bought files are fine for DJing unless you're one of those lossless-only people that need to play all wavs or aiffs.

If you don't have a problem playing with mp3s then 256 AAC is just as good if not better than 320 mp3. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
