Comment comment by jandaman on 30 January 2008

i am going to have to side with vinyl...while digital does allow for easier transportation (like an ipod), the feeling u get from playing a record is so much more connected to the music, to me anyway...

personally, i have 4 turntables in my house...i may be one of a very limited amount of people who have a record player in their bathroom so i can rock out while taking a shower...

plus, u can't really get the same effect from listening to mp3's backwards... ;)

digital = clarity and duplicable by twabulldogg :: NR5

I can understand why people feel nostalgia for vinyl, but that is the main argument for the its use. The background noise, reduced quality due to use, and the requirement for very high end equipment in order to experience the quality and clarity of digital music are clear disadvantages for vinyl.

I am also a big fan of digital codecs and portability, another advantage of digital.
