   For what it’s worth (referring to Armin’s comment that 64GB USB-stick would hold 100-200 tunes) in fact, 64GB would allow approximately 1300 unpacked audio tracks to be stored … of course depending a bit on the length of the track (my calculation was based on the approximate track length being around 3-4 minutes).

   Markku, Armin plays as many WAVs rather than MP3s and also most dance tracks are at least 7-8 minutes. He talks about playing 24-bit audio in this video.

   Also alot of the mp3s that djs use are going to be 320kbps or higher bitrate. Those average 10-20mb per file depending on length. But 100-200 does sound like WAV files.

   well, i dont think the mentioned stick was 64GB… no such stick i’ve heard of… anyway, wav is in need of bigger storeage than mp3, but gives you a better sound and is therefor always worth considering it. after all, those players will be definitly cool for all clubs to get also for some studio-worx (downmixings) they can be fun as you get an actual touch on your tunes. BUT, for personal use they are just way to expensive!!! guess nobody thought about that little detail.
   best wishes,
