You arrive home to find a spindle containing 20 DVD's of ripped music has been left by a 'mate'.
Each DVD holds about 30 albums, old and new, plus 20 of the latest single releases. In fact, there is a huge amount of stuff on there that you like and would love to own...including DJ-Only CD's.
But you are an honest pro-DJ - this is exactly the kind of material that encourages talentless buffoons to start DJ'ing. But it would save you soooo much money and give you all the latest songs for free.
What is the best course of action to take? What action would you take?

Nothing, bin it or send it back to your 'mate'
bin it, dont like playing low quality compressed music anyway...
Curiosity would cause me to audition the tracks in their native DVD format on my PC at home - just to listen to any tracks that I hadnt heard/didn't know, and therefore would buy legitimately later.
This type of auditioning is all that 128kbps is good for.
However...The DVD's wouldn't be attending gigs with me.

Hmmm I wouls probably preview the music and if I didn't have it already and liked it I would go out and buy a legal copy.
I would far rather my "mate" left me a bunch of flowers!

I'd have a listen to see if there's anything on there that jumps out and grabs me, then I'd go and buy it.
Wouldn't use any off the DVD's.
It's even in my T & C's that I will only play customer provided music if it is on an original CD.

return to sender....
I think it's all been said - Have a skip through to see if there's anything I'd like to pick up legit, then return to "mate" with a thanks for the thought and an explanation of why I would not use them - after all they may have no idea that they're doing anything wrong.

Keep 'em for use indoors.
Worry about more important things.
Remind Mate not to get caught.

Ps, I'd keep the DVD's and use them for my own personal use, the record industry has had a good 20 to 30 grand off me as it is.

Yes they are, except that not even you BESTEST BESTEST mate is likely to drop one off around your house for free.
Incidently - I'm after an ultralow spec laptop if anyones got one propping a door open somewhere. Its gotta be colour screen, run windows 95, and have a serial port - other than that it can be a tacky little Pentium 1 75 mhz... its only for driving a serial port slowly.
dx4-100 dell latitude do you? batteries knackered but everything else ok.
I have an old Tosh 486 with Win95a and a stuffed battery somewhere, could bring on Sunday 
Sorry, I should've started a separate thread for the "wanna olde laptoppy".
If anyone else happens to have a old (last used by Noah for stock control, sorta age), please PM me. thanks
Back to the topic (sorry
) MP3 scenario...
These dvd discs have been around for ages, i know a few people who get them and either listen or rip music off them, i personally dont, but i imagine alot of people do use them for djing?
As the music at 128mb is not as poor as you might think, if you play a track at from your lappy in 128 then 192 or 256 it doesnt seem to be all that different to the untrained pro ear? which is why they get away with it i presume?

Err I wouldn't use them for for gigs.
Probably put them on my home pc for personal listening and maybe burn a few for in car use.
But wouldn't have them out on the road gigging.
