Vinyl can't beat the convenience and portability of digital, yes, but that's what makes it great. People generally listen to their iPods while they're at the gym, walking, working, driving, or listen to iTunes when they're on the computer - but those people often forget to just sit back and actually listen to the music. Vinyl is great for that.
Most yard sales or Salvation Army's you can walk in with $20 and walk out with 20 albums. Granted the quality may not be there, but there's always gems in those piles if you take the time to look.I'm also more likely to listen to new music on record than CD. There's just something about that initial bump and crackle of anticipation before the music starts playing (on a record you've never heard before).
Or maybe you should see for yourself that vinyl really does sound better... Anyone with ears can tell the difference between vinyl and mp3, CD gets kinda close, but there's nothing like owning a record.It's not about being cool, it's about knowing what's better.
I've collected jazz on vinyl for many years, it always was the future ... just the music industry insists on creating new technology to make sales. http://blogmejazz.blogspot.com/

No one who DJs often uses vinyl anymore, sad but true.

What does that mean anyways? It seems like everyone is using this term and I still don't get it
