I think the laptop/CD thing is just a different way than the vinyl
method.
Both have their pluses and minuses, though there is definately a
nostalgic/stylistic
tradition and huge storehouse of skills for the vinyl-playing DJ in the
dance/electronic music scene.

That could well be true. But I have spoken to people from Detroit who have
said similiar things. I am not sure about the word "entertainment", that is
kinda reductive and dismissive, to me anyway. It's artistry but a different

Actually.
Well I think again this comes back to how you define DJing and what you
expect to experience
t MP3's sound the
same as vinyl (especially on a large system).

I ain't got nothing against technology. I think you're missing the point.
Technology can make for better creativity or it can hamper it, it's not an

buttons

I would have to disagree. That is a very modernistic view of art.
