DIGITAL FILES TAKE all the hassle out of deejaying -- you can carry 500 sets' worth of floor fillers on an iPod or mini hard drive. But cuing on a laptop doesn't match the romance of working turntables. Which is why we love Numark's second-generation iDJ2 deck (numark.com), a self-contained mixing console that lets you scratch, sample, loop and change the speed or pitch on MP3s. It works with any USB storage device, and you can plug in conventional turntables as well.
