There is something to be said for the nice art, the physicalness of it, and the fact that there is no shuffle button, forcing you to listen to the entire album, as the artist intended. It lasts longer as all hard drives eventually die, and unless you spend a lot of money on backups, you will eventually have to rebuild your music collection. From a purely scientific point of view, a CD may be a more accurate reproduction of the sound that was burned onto it, but enjoyment of music is entirely subjective (in a way you could say that music is 100% placebo).

Digitasl Media stopped being indie since 2001, when a little company called APlle corpritsed it., YOu can't touch digital, as well as this digital media is more fragile, meaning that there will be no historical artifacts left when future generations, thousands of years into the future start to research and dig up our way of life in 2010. CDs are mass produced. Vinyl is at least a more expressive medium. If it gets cracked or broken deal with it. TO not embrace the vinyl format you are not indie. Plus you are missiing out on a big niche market. The internet's big, even for torrent programs. I can't even go around my Itunes theres so a glut of music out there. Some people need convience. Humans are physical and expressional beings. We need phyical things. I do not like naysayers I agree with Jay.

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????
