Are you spinning control vinyl? Are you already using those management programmes that Airhead mentions? I wish I’d thought a bit more about how to organise my digital files and what file types to use before I started ripping all my CDs last year. I really like using Rekordbox.
I haven't look at those systems. All of my rips and stored music is on my NAS but it is all a bit of a mess, I need to sort it out!

Don’t think you need a phono stage with a DJ mixer as they’ll have preamps built in. Apparently Allen & Heath is known for the quality of its preamps - I bought a xone32 off someone who got it just for that and never used it to mix.
I’m using an old Technics integrated amp and am set up with an old Pioneer CD separate, line-in to a minijack for hooking up a phone/ipod etc and a line-in from the PC.
As Airhead points out, it’s worth thinking about digital as you can get mixers and amps with USB outs and get a better quality connection into/out of your PC/laptop.
