In Reply to: Question for those who have deserted vinyl (you know who you are!) posted by ecl876 on February 3, 2017 at 09:55:42:
1. Do you miss playing vinyl for any reason?
Yes - see below.
Do you sometimes get wistful for that ol' sensory experience of holding a disc in your hand?
No
2. Do you miss not having a record cover with artwork that you can fondle?
I still buy mostly CDs to Rip into my computer, so a have a mini version of the cover and artwork, but yes I miss that part of the LP experience.
3. Is it as satisfying to get a download as to receive a FedEx delivery with a brand new record?
Downloading is fun in its own way. I still get CDs delivered. I really miss record stores to browse in person.
Do you miss the anticipation of wondering whether the package will be on your stoop that day?
I still have it for ordered CDs, but I tend to be too busy to dwell on it.
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?
I do not miss any of that, but fiddling with vinyl and the TT is merely replaced by ripping, downloading, storing, getting the album artwork in the library, format conversion...
