I agree, the acoustics of a club change dramaticlly when there are 200+
people jumping, screaming, talking, dancing, stripping, and everything else
that goes on. I have a few tracks that sound like crap when the room is
empty, but when I play them at night I can only hear the difference in my
headphones, no one on the floor notices.

Clean music and a good system are always helpful but useless if you dont
work the crowd. None of them are audiophiles, they wont care if your version
of milkshake is 128kbps or CD, as long as they can dance to it.

You said a mouthful.

Every MP3 I have is 128kbps. No one even the DJs that come to my shows don't
know the difference. If you EQ it right and setup the computer right no one
will notice the difference at all.
Besides most of the professional drinkers are so drunk by 9PM that they
wouldn't notice if their seat was on fire let alone a minor musical
fluctuation.

You must have a crap sound system. And EQ cannot fix anything.

With the copious upper-mid/lo-hi crud of mp3s, your patrons may develop
ear-fatigue after 30 minutes or so.

All deaf.

Not all of my songs are mp3's (most arent) but the few I have sound the same
under the conditions of the club. My point was that none of the patrons are
audiophiles and really don't care if there is a slight change in the sound.

Sorry I am still new to newsgroups and I thought this would get put under
the thread for this and not top posted.

You could always use that ancient and mystic skill of actually clicking
your mouse where you want to start your text.

Unless Bill Gates has sent a couple of gangsters round to force you to
type where he has decided the cursor must appear.

YMMV of course

Patrons of a nightclub with a huge sound system generally develop ear
fatigue within minutes of entering -- unless you're talking about a
quiet jazz club...
