iPhone Application – Spinning Vinyl (Virtual DJ)
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Jake in Gadgets
Here’s a cool little app for your iPhone. Spinning Vinyl plays a track in your music folder and ‘spins’ it backwards or forwards, depending on your scratchin’ technique.

If you want to flaunt your DJ skills for real, but without resorting to anything so old school as an actual record
Virtual DJ and Virtual Vinyl give you the feel and functionality direct to mp3.
If you’re a DJ who’s used to the feel of vinyl, or a newcomer who can appreciate the intuitive tactile sense of spinning records, these are the toys for you.
Similarly, if you play a piano or similar instrument and want to expand into digital music sound, a Midi controller has the look and feel of a keyboard but is actually an elaborate USB production tool. Beginners, just hook it up to Garage Band and you’re halfway to your first single.
I like the Korg K49 and its siblings for home use. The portable M-AUDIO Oxygen 8 v2 is perfect for the DJ who want to add an edge to his set.
On the other hand, if there’s you are convinced there’s no substitute for the real thing, you can’t do better than the Goldmund Reference II, perhaps the most precise record player in the world. Unfortunately, on 25 are made each year. Fortunately, you won’t care, because they cost $300,000 each.

Ye Richard, perhaps the Blackberry is a great “mail” receiver – but lets face it that’s all it is… lets see you store your mp3’s on whats not only a phone but a revolutionary pod of clear sound and sure you say gimmicks, over 35 000 of them – i’m not getting bored anytime soon – are you?

Cubezoo, boredom is not something I suffer from, not when I can run my business no matter where I am thanks to my Blackberry.
I have to ask myself though how bored you are that you have the time to go and play with the iphone’s trinkets.

I got both. The iPhone is the clear winner for multimedia and the BB is the clear winner for business. enough said.

@ freaky, it appears you may be living proof that dumb people are capable of using the iphone…
another score to the iphone for making it “dumb proof”
