to reiterate a point...
A DJ is not a musician... a DJ plays music. they Jockey Discs... doing it successfully is just as hard, and sometimes harder, than what many musicians / bands do, and that deserves a huge amount of respect that real DJs don't get from the general music community. But they still don't fit the deffinition of "musician."
And although some musicians people might use the moniker (sp?) of "DJ" broadly, they are not truely a DJ, but instead a producer (sometimes aka a turntablist). DJ Shadow, DJ Q-bert, etc are essentially producers, regardless of weather they spend hours editing sounds in the studio, or can create a fresh sound on the fly.

yup.
