though I'll be the first to admit that a club DJ with an ipod would be incredibly boring to watch, I think the idea of mp3's for a normal (non-club) DJ is a great one.. in fact, we've got a few in my area that use a laptop and professional powered speakers (usually JBL EONs) to DJ with. works pretty well, and the average listener can't really tell the difference in music quality. besides, they're not at the wedding/whatever for the music alone...
