We have all kinds of numbers out there, the major labels are making claims to support their position; then the labels and various download sites are making claims to support the growth of their scene. Then, you have the record stores, moving used and new product.
Part of that resurgence, 5 years ago, was DJs still mixing with vinyl. IME, recent, everyone's mixing with their MAC these days.
My very active and large local audiophile society has lined up a series of either computer based audio playback meetings, or tweak meetings, or combinations thereof.

I can't imagine why any magazine would want to address cassette tapes, vinyl, etc.
