  I actually have about 16,000 12 inch singles dating from 1978 to 1992, when I DJ'ed. I love both vinyl and MP3 -- I can put 47 days of MP3's on my iPod in listen to them in my car -- I hate FM radio and cassette sounds worse then my MP3.... CD's are out of the question in my car even though it has a 10 disk changer.

  People tend to emphasize the retro aspect of vinyls too much. Analog music is alive and kicking today, even though it was almost unexistant, say, around the change of millennium. Even though I am a huge fan of vintage vinyl-era bands, it was the new underground bands with vinyl-only releases that got me into it. And who cares if you have an old or new player, as long as it plays and slays!

  I wonder if I'd give a damn about records if each was as big as, say, a thumbnail? I'm not sure I would. That would mean I savor form over function, which is very shallow. Oh well.

  @SteamEngenious:Yeah, I was thinking that once. Records are all about "big". Opening a record is almost like opening a big picture book from the children's section at the library. Only you won't get scoffed at (hopefully, and if you do, fuck 'em.) I've got this Danny Elfman record that I sometimes just like to hold and look at. I can't imagine buying it on CD or MP3 or FLAV or whatever zombie music medium you can dream up. (I've also got this Roxy Music record I like to stare at, but that's another story ;)

  Worth it just for Kate Bush's artwork on running up that hill

  Music sounds better on vinyl, it sounds much more genuine, but then again the music was also much better in times of vinyl :D so that might have something to do with it.

  I like vinyl because I feel there's more to an album than a series of 0s and 1s streaming through your headphones. I like to have something I can see and touch, the big sleaves with artwork instead of a thumbnail on a screen or a flimsy CD booklet. Playing music on a record player is so satisfying, too, with its big buttons and that nice thump of the stylus touching down on the record, the clicks and pops. It just feels like the way music is supposed to be experienced.

  It's a more intimate experience.

  I prefer vinyls, to the art of the covers, best songs, it's nostalgic, I love it! And I find everything that I like... It's different than cd

  Some bands sound almost the same on vinyl and on CD but all the Devo CD releases (or at least the ones I've heard) sound VERY different from the original vinyls. The quality of the sound on the CD is terrible. I don't understand how that could happen, I mean you'd think the newer technology would sound better, but it doesn't.

  That's because you've got a crappy record player.

  Are all you people just trying to be different? i mean really if you compare vinyl (which is kl i admit) to any other way of listening to music like cds the other thing still always wins, just, better.
