Some people don't care for CDs. I don't quite understand, but to each his
own. But just as you need a turntable to play vinyl (short of the
cactus-needle'n'dixie-cup trick :), you need a CD player to play CDs. I
get CDs primarily, but that doesn't stop me from buying something merely
because it is vinyl-only.
I guess what I'm saying is, don't let the record company folks stop you
from listening to what you want to hear merely because they don't issue it
on the format you prefer. Buy a CD player -- not a crap one either (if
you want a good one at a low price, go with a Sony) -- and keep buying
vinyl if that's what you generally prefer.
