Yep, I've never had the least problem with 128.

Hi Bill,
I use 192 and up these days for live DJ and my own music minus one =
mixes.
Disk space is too cheap to bother with 128 except for internet =
bottlenecking.
A great freeware program to rip CDs or any wavs from a drive is=20
http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/download.html
It does .ogg, .wav, .wma, and with external it can use Lame, FLAC
and many others.
With all mp3s and wma s I hear a funky high end thing that is usually
unimportant/unnoticable to my clients at a gig. In the studio it's =
plain=20
as day though.
iTunes would not be my first choice as a DJ player that's for sure.
I use PCDJ but there are others that are equal too or better as I =
understand.
PCDJ rips very nicely too.

Thanks all for your advice.
Tom, I would use PCDJ but I am trying to get away from bringing a
computer on gigs so I bought a little Sansa RAM drive player, which I
hope will be robust (no moving drive parts) and which holds 4 gigs. If I
were DJing I would use PCDJ. The guy who started the company is a friend
of mine and a drummer who I sometimes play with.

Bill,
It sounds like you've got a good plan going.
Good luck with it all.

Hey Tom,
How would you compare PCDJ to the Traktor line? I use the NI stuff just sorta
because. And I wrote the (really horrible, sorry) manual to Traktor 2 so
I know it pretty well. Anyway, I'd be interested.
I have been working with Stylus RMX for a couple of weeks now as a potential
live DJ/improv/dub session tool. With the crossfader in Live it's the closest
I've ever been to getting that to work.
Cool toys are good,

For live I'd suggest 128k. Mix to mono, and put your click on the left,
track on the right. That way you can fix any phase funnies in a more
controlled environment and up the sample rate as/if needed.
Try using MediaMonkey for controlling your iPod device (or equivalent). Nice
thing is, you can put all this into a laptop and take that as a 'uh oh'
device should your little dude forget who it is.

I do mix in mono and I put the count off on the left and feed only the
left channel to the monitors.
I am going to get another little Sansa as a backup. They are pretty cheap.
