I see on PlanetDJ that an SDJ2 is coming soon. Of course I just got the SDJ1 2 weeks ago! Has anyone heard any details, like, will it take SDHC cards?

I too recently purchased the SDJ1
I am hoping they come out with a downloadable software for the SDJ1 (allowing it to accept SDHC) surly this can be done.

Just spoke with American Audio and this is what they had to say:

Hello,

I recieved your emailed regarding the SDJ2.

The SDJ2 has been in our catalog since January and hopefully will be available sometime on October(if all goes as planned). We have made many changes and improvements since it was first shown in January. It is true that it will read SDHC cards, when we are able to add that, we decided too. We think it makes sense and we will be able to keep the price close to the original estimates. The SDJ2 also includes a mixer and many other features and will be priced upmarket compared to the SDJ1.

At the time the SDJ1 was developed, it was not possible to add the SDHC compatibility. It would have delayed the unit at least 6 months. Also, in our research, talking to many many DJs (wedding, party, etc) they said that they typically play 60-200 songs per gig and usually it is the same songs with a few additons. 8 gig (4 gig x2) is plenty and if not, they could carry extra SD cards.

We have found QMemory SD 4 Gig cards for under $30.00 online.

Let me know if we can be any other help and thanks for purchasing the SDJ1
