[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1134020, member: 24160"] I can easily see the requirements of needing quite a few more tracks than that. My last vinyl collection (which was sold off in '90 and took only 16 years of collecting) had in the neighborhood of 70,000 tracks if you figure the typical 10-12 tracks per album. And my collection was pretty much limited to blues, rock and jazz. You start talking about a professional dj, ready and prepared to hit a party with whatever genre (or era from the '30s -'40s to the present) a potential client might want, taking pride in being able to pull up practically any song a guest may request... Just that one item of being able to say 'Yes, I have that' during a paying gig instead of bringing a paltry 2-3,000 songs is a great sales tool. I can see where saying 'no' more than a couple of times at a gig would leave a bad taste in a customer's mouth and is sounding a death knoll in this type of business today. I can easily see the need of having 50,000 songs on hand for some genres (C&W or Rock 'n' Roll) just to have the 50-60 you'll end up playing during the actual gig. [/QUOTE]
