cd decks v vinyl decks - Advice needed

[Technologic]

I doubt CDJs will last much longer either. I think storage devices + controller is the way forward. CD's are too much hassel to burn, catalogue etc so they'll fade out in time as well.

I would say that is the logical way forward. Something will have to be standardized though. For a long time you knew if you turned up with a box of vinyl and some headphones you would be sorted. You knew that you would be mixing on technics and hoped there was a good mixer.

Now you cant rely on that. Maybe the way forward will be an empty desk for your laptop and controllers and a socket to plug it into the PA. Either that or it will be some CDJ's and all you bring with you is 2 SD cards with all your tracks.
