You aren't the only one. When I dumped my 70-80 crates on vinyl in the
mid-late 80s, it was like an emotional divorce : a big decision from which
it's awful hard to turn back. I really didn't plan on amassing thousands of
CDs...it just kinda happened.
I always try to get whatever I want on CD, but much of what I really "need"
can only be obtained on vinyl - so, as a result I have about 3-400 pieces
of it around again. My sound card drivers keep dropping out arbitrarily, so
PC listening isn't an option for me. Call me crazy and give me a lecture on
purity, but I also prefer CD for a number of reasons - among them is the
fact that they are easier to store, play, access and they don't often warp
or display audible evidence of scratches.
Mail order and web-shopping *is* the way to go for good prices AND
selection as well. Job security for the postal workers.
