        I HAD SEARCH A LOT BEFORE BUY MINE AND I DECIDED FOR THE CDI 500 AND I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!!!
        EASY EASY EASY TO SET UP...CASE AND CDJ WORKS PERFECT TOGETHER...LOT OF FUNCTIONS THAT U ARE NOT GOING TO FIND IN ANY OTHER ONE FOR THE PRICE(FILTER,ECHO,FLANGE,PAN,ETC)...PERFECT TO LEARN AND PLAY MIX IN CLUBS AND PARTYS...STORAGE FUNCTION IS JUST A LITTLE BIT HARD TO LEARN BUT U WILL NOT NEED IN THE BEGGINING...I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM AS A STOP MUSIC OR REVERSE.
        YA, THE CROSSFADE BOTTOM IS A LITTLE LOOSE...BUT ALL THE OTHER ONES ARE PERFECTLY MADE.
        I HAVE SEEN MY BEGGINER FRIENDS CDJS AND THOSE OTHERS ONE(CD 300 DENOM/200 PIONER) LOOK LIKE MADE FOR KIDS,THE BUTTONS ARE CHEAP, EVEN THE DISPLAYS LOOK LIKE A 20 YEARS OLD COMPUTER SCREEN...IN THE CDI 500 MP3 HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT U NEED AND LOOKS GREAT BY THE WAY.

        Pros

        • Clear Sound
        • Easy To Use
        • Love the EFFECTS
        • Love the QSTART

        Cons

        • BPM Counter worthless
        • Case flimsy
        • Unrealistic Scratching

        Best Uses

        • Beat mixing
        • Events

        Comments about American Audio CDI-500 MP3 System +:

        I play at a club where I bring my equipment in on weekends, so reliability is important. First the good: Great and easy set up, works good, great for mixing and the effects are decent, and I love the QSTART feature. Now, the bad: The ends on the case are already loose and the BPM Meter is very inaccurate. The SCRATCHING features is there, but nowhere near the realistic feel of vinyl. BOTTOM LINE: If you purchase this for use, it is a very inexpensive alternative, however it is limited, but for the price you pay, you get a good reliable system. If you are a turntablist, dont get this system, this will disappoint you. If you like to mix, keep it going, without a lot of scratching, this is a good system.

        Comments about American Audio CDI-500 MP3 System +:

        First, when I tried to press start to play my CD it wouldn't play. I had to hit the cue button to get it to play. Then after a while it reversed itself back right. Then when you're trying to use the jog wheel to adjust a sfx it speeds the CD up. Then if you're scratching & release the jog wheel to start the song it stops. you have to start the CD going again. (What the heck !) They take the simplest things & make em either too hard or too stupid to use. The cross fader on the mixer is just too loose. You can barely touch it & boom the other song is coming in loud & strong. If you order one "PLEASE" keep it at home because if you're a show jock such as I am, you'll get caught up at the wrong time trying to use this crap in a club. Unless all you want to do is mix & mix "only."
