Any ideas of backing tracks for live performance?

I record to the DAW at 24 bit, just to make sure I don't lose any quality, and convert to hi-res MP3 from there. I wanted to mention that there's another option-an MP3 disc. The newest clamshell CD players can play MP3 files that are burned to CR-R as well as CDs, and you can buy a replacement for less than $50 at Walmart if it goes down. (Way cheaper to burn CDs, too, but you lose the multiple-playlist functions of an MP3 player, and also the groovy visual display and/or touchscreen) I think the 'fake factor' goes down considerably once you get about three people on stage; most folks can't tell who's doing what by that point and younger folks are used to seeing groups that consist of two turntables, two mics and three people.Thanks Mojo!
