The Classic Vinyl Record

As I’m sifting through news stories and articles looking for something to talk about, I keep coming across ads about LP to MP3 converters.
What the crap?
Isn’t the point of records to enjoy the high quality music? I understand that a lot of people have records, but don’t really care to listen to them. So [...]

I saw an article in Tulsa Today News about records and basically the ‘revolution’ that is happening. There are some good pars that I will show here.
“…but nothing sounds as good as a vinyl record. That’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. That’s why some records were cut direct-to-disk, bypassing analog tape with [...]

I read an article this morning at the Idolator.com. It was basically saying that digitally recorded music already has some loss of information, so why should it sound better on vinyl than CD. This is an example of bad logic.
If you’ve picked up an arts section lately, you’ve probably seen a story with one (or [...]

I saw a great interview with a record store owner in Santa Cruz, California. The article was done by City On A Hill Press, a site from the University of California.
It’s nice to see that there are still stores open that sell vinyl.
With peer-to-peer programs and CDs making music far cheaper than buying vinyl [...]

I’m reading this e-book about collecting vinyl records. It has a lot of history and reasons why people collect records. you can find “The Fascinating Hobby of Vinyl Record Collecting’ at Robert Benson’s blog, Collecting Vinyl Records.

I recently came across a post on ViP2 about how the whole idea behind vinyl being better than CD is myth and sentimentality. The author says that CD are superior to vinyl in every way. These are not my thoughts, so don’t get mad at me.
It’s not often you write something knowing full well that [...]

The third and final post by The Lonely Note on the difference between vinyl and CD’s. The first post dealt with the technology difference between CD’s and records. The second dealt with mostly the physical differences between LP’s and CD’s. The third part deals with the actual difference between the same album on both CD [...]

Here is the second part of this article by The Lonely Note. Here is the first post on the difference between vinyl records and CD’s in case you missed it.
Portability
This is probably the one category where the two camps of format fanatics can agree. The compact disc wins the portability argument in one fell swoop [...]

Great post over a The Lonely Note, talking about the difference between vinyl records and CD’s. It’s a three part article, so I’ll split it up too.
