and when I say DJ my meaning is with whomever studies and is involved in the arts of Turntablism...

I have a vintage record player downstairs (well my parents do) and I wanted to learn how to scratch and dj and such using it. I know that whatever records I use will get damaged, I'm ok with that
But, will it damage the record player itself by doing this?
Oh ok, so could I temporarily (without extensive knowledge about record players) switch in a non damaging needle? Or would that take a lot of equipment to do?

I just thought about him out of the blue for the first time in several years after remember ing those cool looking KLOL bumper stickers of the antique radio with feet looking like it was strolling along and the bold KLOL typeface in green!

I looked on the net about DJ Crash to no avail, but did learn that the former rock 101 fm KLOL now spins a whole different genre of music since 2004, pretty much killing off the old KLOL format.

I have not lived in the area for years, but do remember the very distinctive DJ Crash, a.k.a. "Crash in your dash".

I heard rumors about his wild lifestyle befitting a 70's era DJ, and then I seem to recall him getting canned over something related to excess living, and then he showed back up on the air for awhile circa 1986 or so, after that I lost track.

Anyone know what became of the legendary Crash of KLOL fame?
AS for the first guy who responded and claims that Crash is no longer with us, I have no proof and my gut feeling on that answer is he is either just being sarcastic or just spamming for a website. I'd like a link to a story if it is true...but I kinda doubt it as I would have found something myself.

My fiancee and I are having a wedding ceremony and reception next year. I'm trying to figure out what we should do about music. The ceremony will be short and informal - there will be no walking down the aisle or wedding attendants. Then, we'll follow that with the reception (both the ceremony and reception will be at the same place). We are having a 1950s theme. I was thinking of buying a new vintage-style record player (http://www.crosleyradio.com/prods/cr73-3.html) that comes equipped with a CD player so that we could play our 50's CDs, but keep the look of a 1950's party. We are also considering hiring a DJ - if the prices are reasonable. We are trying to do this as cheaply as possible. My question is, would the record player put out enough sound? We are having a wedding with 100 guests in this room (http://www.hamlinhouserestaurant.com/Weddingpage.html) and no dance floor.
I'm not sure if the record player link worked. This one might be better: http://www.crosleyradio.com/prods/cr73-3.html
Is anyone actually reading this question? I'm not asking for song suggestions!

I have never used one in my life.
Can some one explain them to me.
What are the numbers like 33, 78, etc.
Are there different kinds of records?
Are records damaged when you like spin them like DJ's.
Can i buy one that plays old records but wont damage them if i spin them?

alright

im looking for other dj's and scratch music albums. anone hear have some mp3 of there own stuff?

so basically the story was like this i was a friend of mine and like i had to stay out coz they were recording a session and i see this young kid DJ-ing on this record player look like one of the FISHER PRICE VINTAGE RECORD PLAYER 'VINYL'

but his wasnt like the fisher price one it was like an old school seasme street ones this young kid had it with a cookie monster which was pretty sick.

so yeah heres my question

will the fisher price #825 record player play vinyl records like DJ's do 12'inch vinly records.

thanks for answering looking forward.

Does anybody know if i buy a record player or thingy thats a radio and stuff can i dj on it if it says it has a turn table???

I was at my friends house and he has a retro record player. Here's a picture: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DTPAyyH6L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

We were playin around slowing the record and such, an allman brothers record, and he bumped my arm and i scratched (not literally) the record like dj's do. is it bad for the record or record player?

I was wondering what the difference is between a record player and a turntable.
Can you play records on both? You see on urbanoutfitters i was debating on whether to buy this Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable. because i recently was interested in old 80's music and i thought it would be neat to play them on vinyl.
Does this product play records or is it just to be like a DJ.. and what is the USB for(sorry not so good with technology) so if any one could please help me out and explain this to where i could understand that would be great! thanks in advance
So my big question really is can i listen to music on a turn table by just placing the record on it?

I'm interested starting a vinyl record collection and need a player. I don't know much (other than the need for a phono preamp which my audio receiver already has), and I'm VERY into music ("wannabe audiophile" - expect great fidelity, just don't want to pay big dollars).

I'm thinking around the 0 range. This would simply be for listening pleasure (and maybe digitizing audio), but nothing DJ.

Thanks!

I've been thinking about getting a record player because I've heard the sound quality is amazing (at least better than CDs). I just want to use the record player to listen to music (no dj-ing). How much should I be paying for it? Any recommendations on what to get? Also, is it true the sound quality of vinyls gets worse as you play them more. Should there be a limit to how many times you play a vinyl (before you wreck it at least)?
