   There is a good fight for analog sound, but the convenience of MP3 and CD far outweighs that. so no vinyl and cassettes are a thing of the past.

   i don’t think we are.
   even though turntables and records
   are retro,
   they’re not portable like MP3′s and CDs are.
   they also can’t be multiplied
   (like files can be),
   or sold instantly over the internet.

   plus, records are extremely fragile,
   and even jumping a little while ti’s playing
   will cause it to skip.

   I don’t think we will neccesarily return to only using vinyl records, but I do think they’ll be around for a lot longer than CDs and MP3s. They’re built to last. Hah. I have a lot of records that I play but I use my iPod too because it’s portable. I personally prefer my records to anything else, but it seems like I’m one of the few. Haha.

   Not as stupid of a question as some people are going to say about it. Matter of fact, electronic music is becoming more and more popular. The only was to experience live electronic music is through a turn table which only takes vinyl. Although i do not think it would ever replace increasing technology such as Cd’s or MP3s, it will certainly increase in popularity. Not only is electronic music incredible to watch and see live, it also is fun to learn to spin. If you are interested in it, i would suggest looking more into it.

   The only value of a vinyl record is sentimental. They are just not practical.

   lol i rarely see people buying cds now, but theyre here and there. But MP3s and Ipods will never be gone lol people are just lazy to get a cd player and all those complications in getting the one CD theyre lookin for.

   As for turntables and vinyl records… well they’re awesome to work at as a DJ and stuff but they shouldnt have to replace CD and MP3 players….

   Well I guess I’m kinda an old guy here, remember when I used to buy those 45′s back in the 60′s.
   A lot of people like records and say they prefer the sound to a CD, but I think the biggest problem was keeping those records clean. I used to have all kinds of brushes and sprays etc. Dust would stick to them so you would have to use a special spray to get rid of the static charge..

    You ever seen how fragile a vinyl record can be and how big they are? That should answer your question. Those things take up height on a shelf, have no more than 10 or so songs on them each. You always have to turn them over to play the back side of them. Easily scratched and made useless. They have a limited shelf life unless very, very carefully cared for. Another little life limiter on them is they can warp in heat.
    The sound is analog which means not only do you pick up the song and music but also the scratching of the record under the needle and if you have really good ears that scratching goes all the way back to the master recording that punched the record.
    People would pay thousands of dollars just to get rid of that sound. Dolby sound is one product invented originally to try to cancel it and did a better job with recorded tape than vinyl.
