music format

what should be the standard for burning your music to play out i have mostly mp3's but as i have learnt not all cdjs respond well to them.

so should it be wma or wav what and do they bothproduce a waveform display on the cdj 1000??

[ChevChelios]

burn as an audio CD not an mp3 CD and you shouldn't have a problem as far as I know.

sick cause i had big dramas with some of my tunes on some cdj1000 and the waveform didnt come up either, but they were all mp3

yeh i got denons and i got a few mp3 cds and although the songs are on there when i put it into the computer, it shows up on the cd players as some tracks missing so i just burn audio cd's straight from iTunes and it works with no dramas

i also find, on my 400s and same for 1000s that mp3 discs take much longer to read

waveform only loads once its been played through when mp3.

yes it buffers it to the memory..

only use mp3 at 320.. if you have a low quality mp3 say a 128 it wont sound better if you save it at 320

cdjmk3's use wav..

cdj2000's Usb stick the future!

[Skank]

yeah i never use anything below 320kps

thanks for the help guys

mostlly buy wav's but even when mp3's I always burn as audio cd's. less issues in general, and not all decks play mp3's still.
