After studying your question for many minutes, I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to answer your question as I have been living under a large rock for many years and am unfamiliar with Vinyl in relation to songs/music and the acronym CD.
I can inform you however that the Vinyl material does make very nice underpants, if a little restrictive!

Both CD and Vinyl have their pros and cons.
Many DJ's prefer vinyl as it's easier to control and is more tactile. Vinyl also tends to have a warmer, fuller sound than CD. However many of the newer pitch control CD players have buikt in functions to emulate the vinyl sound. There is a definite difference in sound quality as vinyl is analogue and can be mastered at closer to 0 db (the optimal recording level) whereas, when recording in the digital domain your highest level would not exceed -2 db thus giving CD a less full sound. When playing CD's compensate by turning the bass up a bit more as well as the mids. CD also tend to have a cleaner, more clinical sound. CD's also tend to be kinder on the back. A CD case with 100 CD's with 6 - 12 tracks per CD gives you 600 - 1200 songs which you can play. A record bag/s filled with the same amount of music is much heavier.
The argument about which is better is superflous and has been rendered obsolute with the arrival of Stanton's Final Scratch which allows you to manipulate MP3's like vinyl using conventional turntables and Ableton Live. Some CD decks also carry similar technology allowing DJ's who use digital mediums (like CD and MP3) to remix songs on live or to "create" new songs. Many of the world's most popular DJ's have completely embraced digital. Richie Hawtin (Plastikman) has been using Final Scratch almost exclusively and both James Zabiela and Sasha have been using Ableton Live.

I hate CD decks, well the only ones I have tried. There are some really good ones out now, ones that make CDs perform like vinyl. You can't get more control than vinyl, I went to DJ at some party on Saturday and they had CD decks and I found it impossible!!! It's probably because I don't own CD decks. As for levels, well CDs are better quality but vinyl can reach lower and higher frequencies than CDs, which is strange. Spaces between songs, erm, well it would be the roughly the same length if you had the same album on vinyl and cd. The thing is if you are looking to do more commercial stuff than you are probably better to go for CD decks because you can get all the latest music on compilations. Where as for vinyl you can't you would have to buy each single individually at £6 each and a compilation on CD for £12, you would be saving tons!!!

depends on 1 thing to start with.
what type of music do u wanna play.
I play house. and a few years ago, i bought some CD Decks and found it hard to get stuff that i wanted. i then bought one 1210, and used that to record vinyl onto computer then onto CDs...
now, u can download (legally and illegally) pretty much what you want. costs less than vinyl too.
there is a definate art to using Vinyl. but theres so much more u can do with the right CDJ setup. (Pioneer CDJ1000's, efx1000, DJM1000 if you've got about £5k handy!) in terms of manipulating tracks, re-looping, re-editing on the fly.
most decent sized venues should have CDJs thesedays.
whichever u choose, the basics are the same. you still need the ears to be able to beatmatch, pick cue in points, know when to bring next tune in etc... took me about a year to get the hang of the basics.
and the good thing is, u never stop learning or improving.

Cd's is much easier because its all digital, a true Dj should be able to mix vinyl i think, theres no room for error
