So the question is can you DJ with mp3 files with > sb16 soundcard ? Probably not...but... Try Virtual TurnTables (VTT). Do a websearch, it's a 2mb download and works very well on a P200. Only problem is, it's a 10-minute demo. But then, if you can afford, records, CDs and decks (and a laptop!!) you should pay for the software (if it's any use to you). It lets you DJ with MP3s, the only problem is no 'hands on', but then there's Final Scratch which lets you use real decks with a special record (which plays tones indicating where on the record the stylus is). And it only runs on BEOS (www.be.com). Only one problem: it costs 300 dollars (additional records 15 dollars), and BEOS costs about 40. And BeOS might not run on a laptop. Final Scratch might support SB16... but hilariously, BeOS doesn't (basically they said, "We've written drivers for the high-end cards (Turtle Beach, Event, etc), but think that cards as low as the SB16 are not the professional cards that professional BeOS users will be using" - oops). So I'd say, all things considered, go for Virtual Turntables (it plays MP3s or WAVs, as does Final Scratch). Jeremy.
