I don't know if it's me, but I cannot get my WMA's (Windows Media Audio) format to mix correctly in Virtual DJ. MP3's mix beautifully.
Don't get me wrong, I love VDJ: It's the best 100 odd quid I've spent on software. The updates are spectacular, as well as being the best investment in software for my laptop!
Do any of you fine people agree, or am I talking nonsense?
Best regards,
Richard

hmmm... dont know really... 99% of my songs are wma and i have not had a problem that i've noticed at all. what are you meaning by mix correctly? they are offbeat for you or something? interesting.... all i can tell you is for me, there does not appear to be a difference.

All my files are WMAs - can save space on the disc drive, so you can get squillions of songs. They even sound pretty good at 48 kbps.

Must be me then...Probably relying on the auto beat match feature too much, I guess. But mind you, I'm getting the hang of this pitch-blending malarkey now, what with this new version of VDJ. Actually managing to blend VDJ with my vinyl. It's easier the other way round though.
Anyway, thanks for your response.

PS 48 kps? Blimey! I can't really imagine your tunes sounding good at that low a bit rate, even with WMA's. It's alright for the bedroom, maybe, but not in a club environment I would have thought.

A WMA's bitrate sounds more than double the bitrate of mp3's.
For example, you could half hard drive space by converting 256kbps mp3s into 128kbps WMAs without a noticeable change in quality.
Its just a better compression algorythm, although wma didnt pick up in popularity due to many of them being DRM protected, even though it would seem that the smaller file sizes would be more appealing.
Of course, ogg files would be your smallest in terms of quality-to-file size ratio
