I also have many of my favorite LPs on CD as well, so I can listen to them in either format.<br /><br />Of course, my son wonders why I have music in any tangible format when I could just listen to it on my iPod or sign up for a streaming service such as Pandora. I grew up when artists made a musical statement, creating entire albums (10 or so songs) that fit together in a particular way. Some artists today don't create that way. They think in terms of singles.<br /><br />Hmm, don't writers work in a similar fashion?

I always loved the little scratching sounds. :-) One thing I've noticed, though, is how often you have to get up and change the record, compared to the length of CDs these days. <br /><br />We're eventually putting all of our vinyl onto CDs so we can listen to them in the car, etc. and clear out some storage space. Good for you for keeping your turntable turnin'!<br /><br />All of my cassettes just sort of withered away; I guess the heat got to them.Bobbi A.
