I have several awesoem songs that has a long intro, and I usually just cue straight into the good part. Of course, hoping to put it on MP3 format and cut out the slow parts because there's some good stuff in the beginning, and as Jesse said will pay off. If you think about it, 30sec is long for a so...

As a novice DJ, I hate to say anything that is not necessary true. But, my situation is that I stumble upon the role of a DJ. I started a venue that ask people what they want. At first, I don't want to bear the responsibilty of reading the crowd. Hence, they can tell me how to run that show, especia...

Personally, as backwards as it may sound, I actually still carry my CDs with me. But in case I have missed something, esp. buying stuff from iTunes and not have time t...

Djing w/ iPod

Well, in restuarants, they prolly just go to Pottery Barn and buy a compliation, and play it over and over and call that background music.
