"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?"
No.
"2. Do you miss not having a record cover with artwork that you can fondle?"
No.
"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?"
I get CDs in the mail and that is nice. I buy and download some music and can it ripped and tagged right away. I'm listening to my purchases within minutes. That's nice too.
"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 had LPs before audiophiles started calling them vinyl. They weren't that great then for the reasons you mention and more. The main difference now is that you can spend vast amounts on the gear. No thanks.
I buy used CDs on Amazon described as "very good" or like - new" or new ones if they are about the same price. If I have a problem ripping a CD, I get my money back.
