I enjoy the ritual of taking a record out of its sleeve, dusting it, and setting the needle in the groove. I enjoy the fact that I have to flip the side every 20 minutes or so. I like watching the tone arm bob up and down etc etc etc...
I feel the same way. I have my iPod for the car, but if I'm at home, I would just plain rather listen to a record than my mp3 collection. I'm by no means an audiophile, and my equipment by no means even approaches that caliber of quality; I just like something about it that I can't put my finger on.
That, and liner notes. I need liner notes. Lots of them.
i like the ritual of sitting down and actually listening to my vinyl. i have a lot of stuff on MP3, but if i'm working or driving or something, i don't really listen to them like i listen to my vinyl.
plus, you can't get limited edition colored MP3's. ya just can't.

i have been planning to put all my cds on hard drive, back the drive up, and sell them
this just seems like such a bad idea to me. like when people put their albums on cassette and then sold the records. it must be awesome to listen to a 15 year old tape of the white album.
my computer geek brother has serious questions about the longevity of hard drives. i know nothing about this but tend to believe him.

hard drives can't really be trusted. they corrupt, they break, they wear out over time. And then it's not like you still get a crappier sounding version of the original, you get nothing. My office does archival and we keep tapes (original and backups), dat, cds, and everything on drives, which are backed up to tape. seems anal but it's necessary.

i would never trust a hard drive, which is why i would have to trust myself to back up stuff often enough
if you back up your data every couple months, and you change out your backup hard drive every couple years, you're probably ok
the reason i have no problem with doing this is that i have no attachment to most of my cds. there are a few i wouldn't get rid of, but the rest, i don't care.

Fuck THAT shit. Just explode your own head and let someone else worry about your record collection.
