Try buying a Street Talk album on CD and see how far you get!! :)

Vinyl far surpasses cd for the music i listen to.

My dark side of the moon original 1973 vinyl sounds far better than any cd copy.

1213171 2011-06-30 03:46:00 I like to buy the vinyl version of a new album if possible because its much more of a collectible item than a crappy plastic CD case with a bit of flippy floppy paper with track listings and Lyrics. Fifthdawn (9467)
1213172 2011-06-30 05:15:00 The digital vs Vinyl thing is purely a matter of personal taste, but you can't beat the convenience of carrying your entire music collection around on a small storage device.
Records are bulky to store and require care to avoid damage. I also believe it takes a fairly expensive turntable to produce sound better than a relatively cheap cd player.

I did this a long time ago using nero 6's wave editor and a bit of patience, recorded 1 side at a time as a wave file, then cut it into tracks and burnt to CD. MP3's are easily made from the CD after that. I'd recommend archiving in .wav form on disk myself in case you ever want to encode to a different format, changing between compressed formats is bad and re-recording is a nuisance.

It is kinda trippy though to play a track and hear the needle hit the vinyl and the crackle noise during the lead-in :)

1213173 2011-06-30 05:24:00 I use to belong to an audio club and held meetings at various members places and it made me laugh when we had a vinyl evening and someone said oh I will put on such and such a track and after about 5 mins the music would start after they had dusted down the record cleaned the stylist etc etc.

Yes I have heard vinyl played on $20,000 plus turntables and $20,000 plus amps and speakers and yes they do sound better than CDs.

1213174 2011-06-30 05:37:00 I keep all my music either on CD or as a FLAC file, I refuse to reduce it all to the crap sound of MP3. I still prefer CD to anything else but that's because I have something decent to play them with in the first place.

Unfortunately I still buy CD's as it so hard to buy digital music as FLAC
