Vinyl's still hanging in there for it's 60th year

I'm a dj. This is old technology from a non-renewable source. Stop buying vinyl. Get 2 CDJ's and shut up.

Vinyl does not buy you dj bragging rights. Good music might though.

When digital conversion no longer chops off the highs and lows of audio, then and only then will vinyl be obsolete.

I love vinyl! It's more fun to spin, in my opinion.

Vinyls sound nicer but i do use cds and mp3s too.

You cant beat that DUBPLATE if you can get it cut.

It's all fine and good if you call yourself a DJ and you have a preference for digital media... but anyone who actually makes a request to "Stop buying vinyl." will NEVER be a real DJ and can go fuck themselves. Seriously.

CDJ's don't buy you DJ bragging rights. The history of being a DJ is having 2 turn tables and a microphone. If you can't respect the vinyls, your not a real DJ!!!!!!!!

I use vinyl, but I jumped onto serato. I keep my old vinyl collection because sometimes its just like my own little art gallery. Some dj's like cdj's and I have nothing against it, I actually remember doing an opening set in another city where the venues turntables weren't working cdj's and honestly I messed up the pitch control in the beginning, but after I adjusted to the sensitivity of the cdj's I managed to finish a decent set. With that said I would prefer to spin on vinyl. I love my 1200's and anyone who uses them understands what I mean. I'm away for the holidays til tomorrow and I cant wait to pop my cartridges in and piss off my neighbors.

I don't criticize other dj's for their equipment choices, just their skills.

I love vinyl. It's silly and far outdated but there's nothing like owning a purely physical form of music that can't just be burned to your computer and forgotten. Plus, compare looking at the album artwork on a record and the artwork on your iPod. The physical art really seems to matter with a vinyl release.

lol i knew that was a smiths record playing

viynl will never die... virtual viynal and timecoded discs allow you to use real viynl with a digital setup :D

DJ's aren't the only ones keeping vinly alive.

Most major metal bands (Metallica, Guns N' Roses, ect) or artist signed to Sub-Pop have released or re-issued vinly albums. They are starting to come back in style among fans.

Plus, I'm ahead of everyone when cassetts start coming back in style (I have my "... And Justice for All" on CD and original cassett!)

Vinyl is such a good medium for music I'm surprised it isn't more popular than it is. When you listen to a vinyl record as opposed to a CD or MP3 it really makes you slow down and listen to every song and take in the album as a whole.

A great thing that a lot of record labels are doing is giving you a free MP3 download of the entire album with your vinyl. Certain vinyls I have (Wilco, My Morning Jacket) also give you a CD of the album. This way you can take it in your car without having to rig a turntable to your stereo.

Yeah i download all of the MP3s i want, but you cant reproduce vinyl. The look the feel even the smell of the cardboard sleeves, I love it!
