Hi Reece,
In my thread I actually said 'top spec mixers like pioneer'.
I am a vinyl DJ so I cannot comment on CD players, I was actually referring to the Pioneer DJM mixers.
If you are playing something with a very basic 4/4 house type beat (like modern electro music for example), then yes even the BPM counters on my behringer will remain fairly stable and accurate for the major sections of a track, but even with basic house beats as soon as the kick drum drops out and some percussion flam or sound effect / synth pattern comes into the track, the BPM counter will not be able to read the beat.
Try mixing with none-house type beats and the problem is much worse, a lot of breaks and DnB patterns will completely confuse most BPM counters.
If the CDJ CD players are more accurate then thats great, but like I said, I only mix vinyl so I can only comment on the BPM counters found in mixers.
