I don't want to get into a huge audiophile tangent, but if you are at all serious about DJing as anything other than learning the tools and playing around in your bedroom, there's no reason you should be using mp3, ever. All the big DJ web shops sell music in wav or FLAC format for a bit extra (usually around 50 cents or 1 dollar US) and disk space is dirt cheap. Mp3 is a lossy codec (think jpg vs. png); it achieves smaller file size by smoothing out some data in a way which is not very noticable by a casual listener, but the data loss is there (in the form of less detail and accuracy in frequency response and stereo image), and can become much more noticable when played on a good soundsystem (similar to how an xvid or mp4 video file can look great on your phone, but becomes a smudgey mess on a big-screen TV). Also, any imperfections in an mp3 can become more audible when you alter the way the sound is played, like playing it at a different speed/pitch.
