Addendum to the E #1 Question

Just to clarify my October 1 post which emphasizes the importance of a hiring a DJ who subscribes to one of the professional music services (such as TM Studio's Prime Cuts or HitDisc, or Promo Only or ERG).

I don't mean to suggest you should hire a DJ who gets ALL his music from those sources. Those services are where professional DJs keep up-to-date with the latest hits each month and each year -- and with the clean edits of those hits.

But if the new-release services are the DJ's ONLY source of music, he's going to be missing much of the music you probably want for your wedding reception mix. Those services don't provide the great rock, pop, and R&B hits of the '80s, '70s, '60s, and '50s.

In other words, a subscription to these music services is necessary, but NOT sufficient, for a wedding DJ's comprehensive music library.
