Listen to your local NPR station this AM...They just ran a "The resergence of vinyl" story.
Said everyone is buying a $150.00 USB Turntables to get thier Vinyl onto thier iPod's....
Also mentioned that increased Vinyl sales (new and used) _might_ be because of the "way Vinyl Sounds, which is warmer than binary playback systems".
Said CD sales are slumping worlwide, and that the recording industry is looking at the last decades' increase in Vinyl sales, that they might be interested in promoting the Vinyl medium (producing more new Vinyl for sale) to boost thier slumping CD sales.
