Should A DJ Own An MP3 Player?

So my wife wants to buy me a MP3 player.  I am not sure how I feel about this.  I mean, is it even ethically feasible for a dee jay to own an mp3 player? Not only that, but I'm still a little unsettled about the transition from vinyl that I was literally forced to make years ago.  It still doesn’t set right with me.  I miss them …terribly.  But now,  to ditch my CD collection (did I mention it was extensive) for a little device that my thumb will cover all the buttons...  I just don’t know.  Scrolling down to find the right song.  It takes away the process.  The steps to the process of which I speak: 1.  Going to the man cave…think I will listen to some music.   2.  I am going to stand here and peruse the CD collection (did I mention it was extensive) 3.  I am going to pull out 5 CDs and see which one is sending off “THE VIBE”… 4.  I put in the CD and while the first song is playing I look over the liner notes (again) and the musicians.  At this point I may do some cross referencing with other CDs.  5.  I listen to the CD completely….and again…and again.  Somehow I feel , I will be losing this process with a MP3 player.  The only plus….it is portable….I can be in hands reach of all my CDs anytime day or night….that is appealing.
