blindman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) This article in the January 2016 issue of The Smithsonian does a good job of articulating why we still listen to vinyl LP's on turntables. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/phonograph-changed-music-forever-180957677/ Edited January 22, 2016 by blindman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Naseum Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 "Others worry that finding music is too frictionless, and that without having to scrimp and save to buy an album, we care less about music: No pain, no gain." Exactly true. The easier it is to acquire music, the lower the value. In a strange market disruption, the music has been hijacked from the music industry by the cloud industry and in the process they made music worthless. Because people don't enjoy worthless treasures, they re-oriented their compasses and realized that an LP was more than just the music. It had intrinsic value. Real value. So, they simply opted for more authenticity and began appreciating what was more rare than "free bits over the internet." LPs become valuable again.
