In Reply to: RE: Question for those who have deserted vinyl (you know who you are!) posted by ecl876 on February 03, 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...

Streaming for me is like having the record store experience and I used to spend hours at Rose records in Chicago

I also miss browsing the record store. These days, most of the music you find at stores is popular, rap and hip hop crap. If you wand decent music, you are pretty much limited to on line. Amazon is my best friend.
