	i've got vinyl CD and MP3 copies of one or 2 songs. I'd say CD sounds the most accurate, vinyl sounds the most aesthetic (extreme lows and highs are much warmer and nicer on the ear) and MP3 just sounds like mud unless you used 160kbps stereo or above (even 160 can be flaky at the top). FLAC is good, as its lossless if you've got the space. There is a lot to be said for CDs if you have high quality DACs, e.g. with 256x oversampling and decent interpolation algorithms. If I was loaded I'd build a rackmount pc with a pair of 1TB HDs in RAID, rip everything from vinyl at 24bit/96kHz and try to save a bit of space with FLAC. Since I'm not, It's more likely that if I ever start DJing again, i'll be lugging my decks around.

	Colinmono: the "pumping" sound is probably 'cos of the use of side chain compression. Plus what you said makes me want to stick with CD's even more. Plus i got them back a week ago, and now that my exams finished, like an hour ago, i can't wait to get home and give them a raz.

	I agree with you there Jhodas, FLAC is good aswell, i reckon that when the time comes to upgrade to laptop based mixing, i'd prefer to use FLAC as it's small, and lossless. And MP3's, even if they are 320kbps, still have been compressed no matter what and so there will be a loss of some data. Like with everything quality is the key, put sht in, you get sht out.

	phattomherby - if you've just finished your exams you should go straight to the pub and not go home to play with your new cd decks, no matter how good they sound... Edited by jonaglon - 04 June 2008 at 12:48pm

	its easy to get carried away with oversampling of bitrates for cd's though in fairness using too low a sample rate makes the sound horrendous to my ears, with everything its a compromise, but if your using cdj's and standard audio cds not mp3 disk theirs plenty of space on a standard cd for top notch quality and then just buy yourself an external hard drive for all your music, job done especialy with how cheap some of them are theese days.
