Depends on how long the person has been collecting music.
 
hmm 15 crates of vinyl and around 1500 CDs................. not sure what that would add up to.

Are you saying, then, that a DJ may advertise having at least 75 000 songs, but might not actually bring them to an event or, even if they bring all of those songs to an event, at least many of them could be songs that will never be played?
 
Im saying around 50 songs are required at an event however any DJ would bring more than 50 to a gig but likely not all 15 crates of vinyl though I did back in the day. Im also going to say unless I were to hand this collection down to a 20 yr old DJ they likely have un-licensed music amongst that 75,000 of course unless they have an unlimited credit account from daddy.
 
Highly possible. I know we've purchased cd's for one song that a specific couple wanted and we'll probably never play them again.
 
I boast that I have a virtual unlimited request library. Numbers don't matter as long as you have the song they want. Using a Verizon wireless internet card at every event and purchasing music legally gives me the benefit of filling almost any request. So, 75,000 songs? Huh I say.

Possible, certainly. "Likely," who cares. Since the advent of on-line music thievery, it is definitely more suspicious.

If your USP or any portion of your offered value is the number of songs you have, I bet your speakers still smell like brand new carpet, and always will.

I can say that I boast a library of over 80,000 titles. I can also say that I did not pay for all of them; some were given to me.
 
What do you think is the minimum that a typical DJ who carries at least 75 000 songs to every event in a typical area has to charge to make at least a little bit of profit (I realise that there are many variables--area; number of events/year; size of system; single-op/multi-op--but we are keeping it simple, down to the barest of bare minimums that is still realistic)?

In other words, what price is the lowest threshhold at which you would not suspect the DJ in question to have an illegal music library and/or a lousy sound system?
 
I easily have more than 75,000 songs in my library... I don't bring them all to events and I can bet that I bought 95% of them.

We have a guy here on Maui that advertises 1,000,000 Karaoke songs and 4,000,000 song titles!

Hummmm,, legal? Me think not!
 
I have about 30-40.000 songs.I realized that im stupit.Why?I tell you!
If my show is 6 hours long how manny songs i can play?I think about 100-120 right?
About 30 songs in my show are MUST BE.So about 70% of music i change depends on what kind of Party it is.But i think that minimum 20.000 songs are to much on my HDs if not more.
The point what i want to say is that if you have an excelent choosen library you dont need more as aprox.3-5.000 songs.
Why I need 75.000 songs?Sorry but i can not understand that and Im shure that the guy have all songs legal.:sqwink:

I'd say on complete average with nothing else considered $100/hr.
 
To me, this debate is almost as ludicrous as debating what "professional" means.

How many D.J.s claim to be "the best"? Someone has to be lying.

Well, there's no doubt that I am the best (in my own mind) and the greatest DJ (occupying this space) of all time.
 
Thanks. For my purposes, I am cutting off the read responses after post 14, with a sidenote of how typical it is on DJ forums to ask a bloody simple question and just get some bloody attack on the bloody question itsbloodyself.

And then some of you wonder why I cannot be serious most of the time here...oh, but I am serious all the time--just ask J-Man and Mr. Microphone.

This was really good, though, and I shall do this again soon.
 
Johnny as it has been said before, it depends of when you started buying the music and how addicted you are to buying the stuff. Another thing to consider is income to maintain said addiction.

BTW it's also an ego thing :D:D:D:D:D
 
all I can say is how many located in my storage area (one room)
