Wow, yes i said WOW!

4 Custom made 15" speakers...AND a 2000 watt amp??? ooohhhh

I'd be scared....NOT

I'd laugh and say i put more wattage into 1 of my sub cabs!!!
 
it doesn't matter if you have 300,000 songs...legal...or illegal, you still need to know the different genre's and what songs should go where...and songs you need to have...and songs you don't....someday he will realize that's whats important.
 
And let's not forget that 50% are duplicate songs :D:D:D:D
 
Also, the 300K may be a total of all libraries the company's DJs carry. It may be a sales ploy for downloading on the fly as well. With wireless internet access at the show, it ain't hard to get access to 300K tracks.

My thing about advertising library numbers ~ you'll actually use but a tiny fraction of that. Prospects are more interested in the genre and style of music rather than numbers. Track numbers are marketing for radio stations, not mobiles.

2500 WRMS into a pair of 18s works for us. Oh wait... there I go with the numbers. :eek:

:D
 
That's tough to do, to hire someone to come into your house or to your party who you know nothing about except..."I'm a great DJ hire me for $50/per hour". Yeh I'm gonna hire him tomorrow???? Anyone stupid enough to do that deserves what they get.................
 
The $50 an hour DJ is in my area and says he's been in the business for 15 years. You'd think he'd know after 15 years that you can't make a living DJing for $50 an hour.

I decided to check out his website (urgroove.com), but it is currently suspended.

Google still has a cache of the site without pics. Holy scrolling text, batman!

If anyone wants to try to talk some sense into him, here is his contact page on a local website:

There was a Craig's list ad that was posted here a month or so ago that advertised 700,000+ songs. When asked about it, the DJ said he has internet access at every gig therefore however many songs itunes has is how many he has.
 
OK, here's what my FAQ page says:

What Kind Of Music Do You Have? And Do You Have A List? We have the best music on the planet. At the time of this writing, we are holding over 45,000 songs. We subscribe to the industry’s best music programming services that update our library weekly. These are the same companies that service the top radio stations in the USA. Our music is updated so frequently that we will have all of your favorite tunes and requests. We also have all of your favorite party classics, and tunes from every era including Big Band, Motown, Disco, New Wave 80’s, Classic Rock n Roll, Alternative Rock, Top 40 R n B, Urban, Hip Hop, Dance, Club Music, Techno, Old School, Funk, and even more! Whew! If you are looking for a suggestion list, It is more practical that we send you a list of the “most requested” music suggestion list, along with a suggested song list for traditional dances. Also keep in mind, there is only time to hear around 15-20 songs per party hour.

I actually can't understand why people are so hung up on numbers of songs? You only need about 100 per event anyway.
Furthermore, When people brag about having even 40,000 songs I tend to think many of them are stolen anyway. Unless they are some kind of DJ company that has been around for years and years.
 
Think of it like this....

Billboard has a top 200 every year lets say you have them all since 1955 thats 52 years or 10,400 songs. Let's add another 1000 local or regional songs to your list and another 10,000 non rock/pop genre thats a pretty healthy collection

To suggest you have 300,000 songs there must be alot of obscure and B sides there
 
Remember, it's not the size of your library...it's how you use what you have. :)
