You usually don't even need to look up the song title because you're bludgeoned over the head with it fifty times over the course of the five predictable choruses. Wouldn't want to lose a potential consumer over track name confusion!
Thanks for bringing your personal experience into it, but radio station DJs are NOT what I mean when I refer to DJs. I probably should have been more clear, but I'm referring to club DJs who actually treat the playing and sequencing of music as an artform in and of itself. And while many of those do choose to use CDs or MP3's, they are generally looked at with scorn by the turntablist community which still constitutes the majority. It's also much harder to find MP3s of sufficient quality to sound great on the more expensive club systems. And my apologies if I put the word fad in your mouth, but you were picking up associated language from previous posts.
Vinyl is not an "indie" fad or whatever that means. It has been a legitimate medium for decades, serving a niche audience for sure, but it still reigns supreme in the DJ universe. CDs, which physical, have no intrinsic value beyond the data contained on them. They are a digital middle man, bringing digital music from its source to your cd player. Other formats will come in to replace it, and there will be more efficient storage methods to pur more music in a smaller package. Vinyl, on the other hand, will always have a purpose if, for nothing else, the sheer nostalgia. Do you know anyone who is fanatical about the compact disc format? But there are other "tactile" benefits to vinyl that will continue to draw demand from certain niche markets.
