i REALLY have been trying too get into mixing and scratching for like, 5 years. except i keep realizing how much it costs.
for now i just want a mixer too make mixes (shits and giggles) that will be compatible with my ipod and CD's (And a way too save mixes?). eventually i'll pick up some turntables, but for now i'll start with the mixer.

i have like $150-$200, and was looking at that for now. suggestions?

200 isn't really enough...If I were you, I'd save up and get a used set up turn tables, and then some sort of sound card to hook those tables up to a computer, like this http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-scratch-pro-2/

No you don't want one of those all in one systems. They tend to be crap.

Depends what you want to do...if you're mixing house music like me then you want some pioneer CDJs (1000s are still the best but if you can't afford them then 200s will do the job, even if they are basic) and a pioneer DJM 800 or 700 mixer.

If you're into RnB or other stuff you want to scratch then you can get a program like Traktor and do it via a laptop. That means you can keep all your music on that rather than on CDs or vinyls. But honestly, CDs are still the easiest to use.
