Re:How is that any different... (Score 1)

You seem to be missing the point (?) It is not a question of what sounds better. The point is that you can download a CD rather than buy it so what is the point of buying CD's? To get that little paper that comes in the jewel case? With vinyl you get something that has value that goes beyond the music contained on the record. You do not get that when you buy a CD. FYI, your statements on vinyl are technically true but way off the mark. I have vinyl that is 30 years old that sounds great. I'm sure when I'm dead and someone else has it it will still sound great. The lifespan of a record is plenty long enough for several people to own and enjoy the record for several decades of their lives. Maybe you are thinking of 78s?
