Have you transferred you music collection from it's original format? Many DJs don't know but if for example you purchased a vinyl record and copied to a flash drive for use on your
MP3 Decks, you need to pay for a ProDub license.
What is ProDub?
ProDub allows a semi or professional DJ to make copies of their music from 1 format into new formats. Essentially you could transfer a vinyl to mp3, or a
CD&G to your laptop etc.
Here's what it says on the
ProDub website;
If you are copying, burning or transferring their work from your vinyl, CD, MP3 or CD+G collection onto a digital format such as an MP3 player, flash drive or laptop for use in your professional or semi-professional working life, you will need to purchase a ProDub License
ProDub License includes:
