Yeah, I don't buy the "vinyl sounds better" argument, but I to see the charm in
handling and playing vinyl.  That side is something that modern media can't
capture and reproduce.  And album art is definitely better on a 12" cover! :)

I think if there's more emphasis on the whole playing experience of vinyl, its
future is assured.  Sure, I love the convenience of being able to carry my
entire music collection with me on the phone, but there is something special
about the process and experience of spinning a record. :)
