RE: Probably a good idea to read past the FIRST PARAGRAPH! Nt.

With all due respect, yes, you did miss something here-- you missed the essence of the article! You missed the author's main intent. He sees nostalgia as a good thing, not something to be demeaned or dismissed. He says: " Nostalgia's role here is crucial. It is the critical eye that values everything against what came before it, and constantly asks whether each new idea is an improvement, or not....nostalgia isn't just some foolish whim. It is a life raft, and the one sure means of grounding ourselves in a world that promises constant change."

Your summation of the article that "vinyl is an outdated, "scratchy" medium which digital is markedly "superior" to, who's only value is "nostalgic"! " is clearly not to be taken literally. The author is merely echoing what others have said. If anything, he is clearly a cheerleader for the analog medium.

In all honesty, if this were a college board SAT exam and the question asked was " which is the best response to sum up this article", is that the answer you'd choose?
