I know some folks who swear that vinyl records sounds superior to CD's, that they sound warmer. These same folks insist vacuum tube radios are better than what we have today. These people I mentioned are quite the artsy type too.

Being half deaf, I can't tell the difference, but the artsy type say they can, but I have to wonder if they would also tell you what a genius an artist is before finding out he's a monkey.

I can tell the difference, but I like CDs because I don't like the hiss and pops and skips of LPs.

I bought a new vehicle last year. It came with a CD player, but I have used it only a couple of times. I just plug a USB drive in and have plenty of music choices.

I don't buy new cars very often. My old one has a cassette player.

An interesting [if too long] article about the future of selling music from David Byrne [formerly of Talking Heads]:

What is called the music business today, however, is not the business of producing music. At some point it became the business of selling CDs in plastic cases, and that business will soon be over. But that's not bad news for music, and it's certainly not bad news for musicians. Indeed, with all the ways to reach an audience, there have never been more opportunities for artists.
