-*a list of record [[labels]] might help to find music
+*[[User:Tobiasco/DJing]]
-*[[w:CD ripping]] is needed to bring CD on your PC
-**I use [[w:CDex]], [[w:ExactAudioCopy]] might be better
-**Ripping results in an uncompressed [[w:WAV]] file. Assuming you have a 60 minute CD, the size of all of the raw tracks should be 605[[w:MiB]] — 1411.2Kbps x 60 minutes = 605MiB.
-*[[w:Audio data compression]] can be used to save disk space. WAV files do not allow tagging, so conversion also helps to solve this.
-**[[w:Lossless compression]]
-***I use [[w:FLAC]] which is [[w:free software|free]] and [[w:open source]] software and has support in software players and also some hardware support. Some tracks were compressed to 30% of original size. Data compression flac/wav on average was to 42%.
-**[[Lossy compression]], some people use [[w:MP3]], others hate it.
-*[[:Category:Audio editors]] - choose one if you wish to attach infos to your music files
-**once used http://entagged.sourceforge.net now use http://mp3tag.de
-*[[Audio player (software)]]
-**[[w:Category:Media players]], I use [[w:Winamp]], with FLAC library plugin.
-**there is also DJ software that let's you use two sound cards, so you can listen to one song while playing another to the audience.
-*** E.g.: [[w:Traktor]]
-*** jr Media center
-*** feel free to extend if you know more!
-*[[w:Tanda (tango)]]
