I buy most of my music from Beatport. iTunes apparently doesn’t allow Malaysian citizens to buy music. The CDs in my local shops don’t sell music I want.

I find reading music blogs are the best way to discover new music. Most bloggers would have their own personal input towards a song and would generally describe a song well. Downside is that these bloggers often stick to a certain genre

I didn’t want to bog down my regular blog with short posts and links to other stuff, so I use tumblr to post short 2-min clips of tunes I am into as well as links to new articles I write and articles/sites I come across that I think are cool. Every Friday I only post YouTube clips of old school music (Old School Friday).

The benefit is it’s another line in the water. Some people who surf tumblr or just the web in general can come across this, possibly get into it, and there on the right side are links to other social media outlets of mine as well as my website.

Since I’m not into producing music, content creation is a stronger point for me.

Haha! I couldn’t connect the dots between your tumblr page and yourself! Sorry for the confusion. Haha. Pretty nice. I’m surfing around for some nice tracks.

Wow.. Orla Feeney’s track is really good! Is he related to D Jam?

Yeah, I think they shouldn’t change every 32 beats as well but it makes work for DJs easier. Haha

I have no musical education, only the litlle bits i gather myself…. that sucks and concerns me a lot…

Lol, I read somewhere it’s not actually needed. As long as you know what phrases, bar and the likes are it’s okay. Some BPM counting as well. I never knew much about this but EDM always change every 32 beats O.O!! Only recently did I learned about that. Thanks to the forum, I also learned more about build up and break downs O.O which never bothered me before. If you’re wondering what key is the music being played and al,l often, the software does it for you. Although it may not be accurate sometimes but that’s all if you want to mix in key.

I don’t think you can. I’ve never tried but you can still access playlists in virtualdj. I access itunes playlist through virtualdj. Theoretically, if I connected my phone, it should detect my playlists on my phone, no?

But if you’re thinking the way the Mixdeck does, I’m not sure if it’d work.

Add 100 new tracks to your wishlist, then whittle it down to 10. Buy things you just love and/or would play for months…not play a few times and move on.

Well, the one thing that make vinyl very appealing to me is that you can actually touch, hold and see your records. it makes records very unique especially if you own a hard to find song. But that’s just me though. I don’t see a way to set cue points and whatnot on vinyl though.
