I'm interested in getting some feedback on those who have given up vinyl playback for streaming primarily:
1. Do you miss playing vinyl for any reason? Do you sometimes get wistful for that ol' sensory experience of holding a disc in your hand?
2. Do you miss not having a record cover with artwork that you can fondle?
3. Is it as satisfying to get a download as to receive a FedEx delivery with a brand new record? Do you miss the anticipation of wondering whether the package will be on your stoop that day?
4. Do you miss nothing about the vinyl experience, the hassles of getting a VG disc which were clearly advertised as NM, the ever present hassles of warped, decentered, poorly pressed discs that require a return, the pure inconvenience of the whole annoying process of getting up from your comfortable seat every 15 minutes, the obsessiveness of record cleaning?
Disclaimer: I happen to love vinyl and play it exclusively. But don't let that stop you. Be brutally honest. I promise to take all responses with the utmost calm and equanimity.
