Well everything dues to a period of time, I think that right now a few DJs are still using Vinyls, but believe it or not I happen to take my mom's old Sony turnable to the reapir shop to keep listen to the first albums I ever bought. Call me nostalgic but I haven't have the need to buy such albums or transfer them to CD, there's something about vinyls that just don't cope with digital.

Yes - not so much because of the music reproduction aspect (been to too many shows to hear the difference anymore!) but because the album COVER was such a great format for artwork - the designer was given a specifically-sized space to create something that related to a specific piece of music or a specific artist, which by its very size and shape lent itself to incredible detail, an enormous range of subtlety, and the communication of massive information. Album covers came in different colors, styles, and even textures, and nearly every one was an individual STATEMENT - a CD Jewelbox makes a statement too - "I am a CD Jewelbox identical to every other CD Jewelbox on this shelf - read my content (if you can see it)"

How sad !!!!! I was in the Merchant Navy for years, I used to transfer all my vinyl to tape-to -tape so that I could play my music on board ship on my faithful tape recorder . I expect there will be a way of transferring one's music to vinyl format in the future without it costing an arm and a leg. I have recently transferred my precious recordings to mini-disc, wonderful invention, but probably even now out of date.

well, actually i have not used a vinyl record since i was probably in kindergarten. my mom had a bunch and we would sing and dance about the house. cd's became popular when i was in jr high or high school and that's really all i use now. but i'm sorry for your loss. i know for some older people who grew up with them it must be quite a change :(

Yes, it is sad that the vinyl record has become a dinosaur. I will miss them.I guess the next thing to go is the turntables to play them with.

Not really. I'm sure there's DJ's that will be upset. However Vestax make a unit that allows you to press vinyl from home.

I'm pretty bummed, I like to own music on different media for the new stuff as well as the old. CDs are great but it just isn't the same as owning something that you can show your grandkids :(

At least I still got my 8-tracks for music and Betamax for viewing pleasure!

yes i am. It is a sad time for the D.js. Does that mean that my Technic 1210's will depreciate further in value?
