What I find odd is the current Vinyl craze isn't so much about collecting great music on vinyl to listen to but more about having the latest fab gadget, for example how many new record decks are hooked up to a hi-fi system in the lounge for listening compared to hooked up to a PC in a bedroom just to impress techy mates, I have to laugh when I see "convert vinyl to mp3 via usb" totally missing the point of the analogue sound quality, if I were to buy another turntable it would never go anywhere near my P.C.
as a sad note a elderly friend has binned a vast amount of VHS and dvd as "I just look it up on youtube to watch nowadays" not just youngsters abandoning physical media either.
