Bollocks! Sure vinyl doesn't get converted to digital but you pay for
that in distortion. Well-mastered, fresh, unscratched vinyl is a joy
to listen to on high-end sound gear. Unless your sound system cost in
the order of tens of thousands, you won't pick the difference.
Besides, you can't shove a bunch of vinyl in your bag and listen to it
at work, can you :P
Pleased to say I've never owned a record player in my life. (Unless
you count the gramophone I bought in a market for $2 when I was a kid.)
