I know the answer to that. Because vinyl is far easier to scratch and beat-match. But that will change eventually. Actually I know a DJ who is working on hardware and software to make it even easier to do DJ tricks with MP3 files than it is with vinyl records.
If you mean your DJ friend is creating it? Then, well, the software is available right now. It's called TRAKTOR DJ and it's made by Steinberg. I bought it just the other day funnily enough. It's very versatile and can be used with a hardware MIDI controller.
Richie Hawtin plays only CDs and digital music files when djing.
Is it me but does Richie (Mr Plastikman) Hawtin produce the most boring records ever?....Am I missing something? Shaun
