Comments on: Vinyl Sales Up 33 Percent? I Don’t Get It http://chachi.us/2010/01/11/vinyl-sales-up-33-i-dont-get-it/ Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:24:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Joebin http://chachi.us/2010/01/11/vinyl-sales-up-33-i-dont-get-it/comment-page-1/#comment-144 Joebin Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:24:02 +0000 http://chachi.us/?p=179#comment-144 Although CDs have a wider dynamic range, mastering houses are often encouraged to compress the audio on CDs to make it as loud as possible: It's the so-called loudness war. Since the audio on vinyl can't be compressed to such extremes, records generally offer a more nuanced sound. Most new vinyls also come with a free coupon to download mp3 version of the album. So even if the physical vinyl breaks or gets too scratched, you still have the electronic version. ---Or just torrent everything and then you can get any type of quality digital music you want.

A vinyl proprietor can only be thrilled at the prospect of increasing sales. As an independent music producer, I'm bothered by this idea because vinyl discs have inferior audio quality compared to digital media. It's science, pure and simple. Your holiday vs. LCD screen analogy is incorrect also. The analog to that would be listening to ANY prerecorded music vs. going to a concert. Or playing a live instrument yourself. By the way, give me one of your precious wax platters and I'll show you how that too can be erased within milliseconds :) <img src="http://chachi.us/images/broken-record.jpg" alt="Chachi SMASH!" /> You got it wrong, Jay.

Unless you work in a vinylstore working your ass off like a slave....No more orders please,i want mp3,i am lazy gadgetfanboy. We all know mp3´s are worthless files that can be erased within miliseconds,nobody cares,no value. I´ve downloaded about 30 albums recently and only the best i will buy on wax...why? Well why do people go on holidays while they can watch the entire world on their LCD screens. Get a life.. Why would someone be bothered by increasing vinyl sales????
